Нужен перевод gerry was ten years old when he and his family left england to go and live on the greek island of corfu hardly had we settled into the strawberry-pink villa when mother decided that i was running wild, and that it was necessary for me to have some sort of education . but where to find this one on a remote greek island ? as usual when a problem arose , the entire family flung it self with enthusiasm into the task of solving it. each member had his or her own idea of what was best for me plenty of time for him to learn, said leslie ; after all he can read , can`t he? i can teach him to shoot , and if we buy a boat, i can teach him to sail. but, dear, that wouldn`t really be much use to him later on. mother pointed out adding vaguely, unless he was going into the merchant navy or something i think it`s essential that he learns to dance, said margo, or else hell grow up into one of these awful tongue-tied idiots yes, dear, but he doesn`t need to learn that sort of thing till later. he should get some sort of grounding in things like mathematics and french…..and his spelling`s awful. literature, said larry, with conviction, that`s what he wants, a good solid grounding in literature. the rest will follow naturally. i`ve been encouraging him to read some good stuff. but don`t you think rabelais is a little old for him? asked mother doubtfully what he wants is a healthy outdoor life; if he takes up shooting and sailing … began leslie oh, stop talking like a bishop…. you`ll be in favor of cold baths next now, now, there`s no sense in fighting, said mother. gerry needs educating, and what we want is someone who can teach him in his interests. he appears to have only one interest, said larry ditterly , and that`s this awful urge to fill things with animal life . i don`t think he ought to be encouraged in that . i went to light acigarette only this morning , and a gread bumble –bee flew out of the box, it was a grasshopper with me , said leslie gloomily . yes, i think this sort of thing ought to be stopped, said margo. he doesn`t meam any harm, poor little chap, said mother pacifically ,
