The shepherd Jorindel noticed with fear that he and his girl friend had sat down close under the

walls of the old castle in the dark wood. The girl was singing while she was watching the sun setting

fast. Suddenly there was no more singing. When Jorindel turned round, he saw his pretty fiancée

had been turned into a nightingale. Jorindel himself could not move from the spot. He stood fixed

as a rock.

their winter holidays but I don’t. True, it’s the favourite sport of most

and ski lift passes, and hotel costs and and and .... So there’s no

fun in skiing for me.“

The woman thinks skiing is

A everybody’s favourite sport

B dangerous

C great fun
