As you know people from different countries do not look the same. For example, people from countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden are usually tall. They have fair hair, blue eyes and a pale complexion. Most people in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and Greece are rather short. They have usually got black or dark brown wavy hair, brown eyes and light brown skin. Most people from central and southern parts of Africa have got black curly hair and very dark skin. They have also got dark brown eyes, full lips and a wide, flattish nose. People from Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Libya have usually got dark hair and dark brown eyes. They have also got dark skin. The northern Chinese are quite short, with thick black hair and dark, slanting eyes. They have got a small nose and a yellowish complexion. Those who live in hot countries wear light clothes like shorts, T-shirts and slippers. People from northern countries such as Canada, Russia and Finland wear too much clothes in winter – coats, hats, scarves, winter boots and other warm things. In my opinion character does not depend on appearance. So, a very beautiful girl can be angry, nervous person who hates everybody and everything. But an ugly plump person can be really nice and friendly. It can be a good friend, who can always help you. So I advice everybody not to judge people by their appearance.

Peter is a young boy who lives in a small village in the Russian countryside. He doesn't have father or mother, so he lives with his grandfather. The people of the village asked Peter to take their sheep to the meadows. So, early in the morning, he was walking up the hill with lots of sheep around him. During the day he was looking after the sheep, was counting them, was playing his flute, was climbing up the trees and he was talking to the sheep but they didn't answer him,of course. So, he felt very lonely and bored up there in the mountains. One day he had an idea to try to have some fun. He decided to play a trick on the people of the village. He cried for help as loudly as he could: "Wolf, wolf, please help me!" Some men and women got out of their houses and ran up the hill to help Peter. But when they arrived there, there was no wolf at all. Peter laughed like crazy at the villagers but they were not very pleased with him. And they went back home. Some days later when Peter was watching over the sheep in the meadows, a real wolf appeared and attacked the sheep. The boy Tryl to fight the wolf but it became too dangerous. So Peter cried loudly for help again: "Wolf, wolf, please help me!" But this time nobody showed up. The people of the village stayed at home because they didn't believe in Peter anymore. Poor Peter, nobody helped him and he had to run to the village for help. That was a good lesson he learnt that day.

Does Peter have father or mother? What was Peter doing during the day? What trick did he decide to play on the people of the village? What did some men and women to help Peter? Why did people of the village stay at home?
