l. Read the text. The Twelve Months. Once upon a time there lived an old woman. She was very poor. Every day she went to work in the fields. One day, on her way to the fields she saw twelve young men. They were playing in the sun. They were the twelve months of the year. They looked at the old woman and said, "Granny, please tell us which is the most beautiful month of the year." "They are all beautiful", said the old woman. "In January there is much snow on the ground and children can play snowballs and make large snowmen. It is very nice in the forest in January when the bare branches of the trees are thick with snow." "February is the shortest month of the year. The rivers and lakes are frozen. The ice is rather thick. Everything around looks so beautiful covered with ice and snow. Winter is still with us, but the days are growing longer." "In October leaves completely change their colour and begin to fall off. Few leaves remain on the trees, they are no longer green, but yellow, red and brown. Many birds leave us they go away to warmer countries. It is windy in October. Many people do not like autumn months. But every season has its beauty." And she said kind words about each month. Then they said to lier Granny, you have said kind words to all of us and we want to give you a present. Give us your hatidkerchief." They put a lot of gold coins in it and gave it back to her. "Thank you very much," said the old woman and went home. At home the children saw the gold coins and were very happy, IL write down in Russian what you've learned from the text Ill Answer the questions: 1. What is the title of the text? 2.
