B. THE DEVOTED FRIEND(After OSCAR WILDE)

“ . real friends should have everything in common,». miller used to say. neighbours, indeed thought it strange that. rich miller never gave . little Hans anything in return, though he had . hundred sacks of. flour stored away in . mill, and six cows, and . large flock of. sheep. In . spring, . summer and . autumn Hans was very happy, but when . winter came, he suffered . good deal from . cold and . hunger and often had to go to . bed without. supper. “There is no good in my going to see . little Hans now,” . miller used to say to his wife, “for when . people are in . trouble they should not be bothered by . visitors. I shall pay him . visit in spring, and he will be able to give me . large basket of flowers, and that will make him so happy.” ‘ You are very thoughtful about. others,” answered his wife. “It is . pleasure to hear you talk about . friendship. I am sure . clergyman himself could not say such beautiful things, though he does live in . three-storied house and wears . gold ring on his little finger.’ “But could we not ask little Hans up here?” said . miller’s youngest son. “ What . silly boy you are!” cried . miller. “I really don’t know what is . use of, sending you to . school. You do not seem to learn anything. Why, if. little Hans came here, he might get envious, and . envy is . most terrible thing. Besides, if he came here, he might ask me to let him have some flour on . credit, and that I could not do, . flour is one thing, and . friendship is another. . words are spelt differently and mean quite different things.” “ How well you talk,” said . miller’s wife, pouring herself out. large glass of. warm ale. “It is just like being in . church.»

B . THE DEVOTED FRIEND (After OSCAR WILDE)

Hans had a great many friends, but the most devoted friend of all was big Hugh, the miller. Indeed, so devoted was the rich miller to little Hans that he never went by his garden- without leaning over the wall and plucking a large nosegay, or filling his pockets with plums and cherries if it was the fruit season.

“ Real friends should have everything in common,” the miller used to say. The neigbours, indeed, thought it strange that the rich miller never gave little Hans anything in return, though he had a hundred sacks of flour stored away in the mill, and six cows, and a large flock of sheep.

In spring, summer and autumn Hans was very happy, but when winter came, he suffered a good deal from the cold and hunger and often had to go to bed without supper. “There is no good in my going to see little Hans now,” the miller used to say to his wife, “for when people are in trouble they should not be bothered by visitors. I shall pay him a visit in spring, and he will be able to give me a large basket of flowers, and that will make him so happy.”

“ You are very thoughtful about others,” answered his wife. “It is a pleasure to hear you talk about friendship. I am sure the clergyman himself could not say such beautiful things, though he does live in a three-storied house and wears a gold ring on his little finger.»

“ But could we not ask little Hans up here?” said the miller’s youngest son. “ What a silly boy you are!” cried the miller. “I really don’t know what is the use of sending you to school. You do not seem to learn anything. Why, if little Hans came here, he might get envious, and envy is the most terrible thing. Besides, if he came here, he might ask me to let him have some flour on credit, and that I could not do. Flour is one thing, and friendship is another. The words are spelt differently and mean quite different things.” “ How well you talk,” said the miller’s wife, pouring herself out a large glass of warm ale. “It is just like being in church.”

C. SHIPMENT OF A CARGO OF WHEAT ABROAD

On the 12th of August, 1953, a Soviet foreign trade organization concluded a contract with a foreign firm for the sale of a cargo of 6,000 tons of wheat. The wheat was to be shipped in September. The sellers chartered the S. S. “Martha” for the transportation of wheat. About ten days before the expected arrival of the vessel at the port of loading, the shipowners informed the sellers that S. S. “Martha” had been in collision with another boat during a dense fog in the Mediterranean Sea and would not be able to arrive at the port of loading before the end of September. The sellers had at their disposal a larger vessel of 6,500 tons. Therefore they sent a telegram to the buyers asking them to accept 6,500 tons of wheat instead of 6,000 tons. The buyers agreed, but requested the sellers to ship the wheat in the first half of October. The sellers consented to postpone the shipment of the cargo in accordance with the desire of the buyers, and the cargo was shipped on the 10th of October.
