Александр Ермак – You were, you are, you will always be (страница 2)
He: I don’t wanna go to school.
She: I just said play school. We’ll have a school of our own. And I’ll be your teacher. Deal?
He: Deal?
She: Lets start then. We’ll start… We’ll start… Where shall we start?
He: Where shall we start?
She: We'll start at the beginning. The beginning… We’ll have an English lesson. Noun declension… verb conjugation…
He: Conjugation?
She: If you like it, I love it… Let's conjugate verbs.
He: Verbs?
She: Yes, we'll conjugate verbs. Let’s conjugate the verb “to be” in all tenses. Listen to me. So, I… was, I… am, I… will… be. Past, present, future tense. Was, am, will be. It’s your turn now.
He keeps silent.
She: Of course, it’s not so easy, but anyway you can try. You… were…
He: You were.
She: You… are.
He: You are.
She: You will be.
He: You will be.
She: Right. Now let’s try to do the same but about me this time. I… was…
He: I was.
She: No, you should say "You were".
He: You were.
She: I am.
He: I am.
She: No, you should say "You are". All right, looks like this isn't your best day for conjugating. So what is the perfect mental game for your? Maybe math?
He: Math.
She: Five times five makes twenty five.
He: Twenty five.
She: Six times six makes thirty six.
He: Thirty six.
She: Eight times eight makes…
He: Eight times eight.
She: One might say you're right. No, math isn't your thing. How about literature?
He (echoes): Literature?
She: Yes, literature. I have a wonderful book here… (She opens up her bag and takes out a book.) I believe you are steeped in literature. (Giving him the book:) Have a look at it.
He takes the book and starts to turn over the pages systematically one by one, not stopping at any of them.
She (shakes her head): I see some books just swallow you up…
He: Swallow you up…
She: In the figurative sense, of course. (She makes a gesture as if she is pushing something in her throat.) It's just a metaphor, you know. Kind of picture… picture… (She takes a sheet of paper from her bag, draws a horned animal on it and writes "goat" on it, then shows the drawing to him.) Look here, read this.
