• Hello. Is this a book-shop?

• Yes, it is. And I’m a book-seller. What can I do for you?

• Have you got a book by Mark Twain? I’d like to buy it.

• I’m sorry my dear. I have no Mark Twain today. I have Pushkin, Gogol, Turgenev and others.

• But my mum says that book-sellers always have Mark Twain’s books.

• I told you that I have no books by Mark Twain today.

• But my mum says that book-sellers always have Mark Twain’s books. Here is the money for a book by Mark Twain.

• My dear, I have no books by Mark Twain today.

• My mum says …

• I tell you, go away, go away.

That’s a pity… You couldn’t buy any book. I know you’re eager to get to know some book characters and make the virtual travelling to the Twain’s life.

• Pupil1. Mark Twain is a famous American writer, whose real name was Samuel Clemens. His works are very popular with children all over the world. The 30^th of November is the birthday of Mark Twain. 
  Pupil 2. He was born in 1835 in the small town of Hannibal on the Mississippi river. He was the son of the lawyer and spent his childhood in a small town. There he went to school and had many friends. He was a lively boy and he was the leader in all the boys’ games. 
  Pupil 3. In 1847 his father died. The boy had to leave school and look for job. For ten years he worked as a printer. All his life Samuel was very fond of reading. While he was a printer he spent much time in libraries. 
  Pupil 4. In 1857 he found a job on a boat and traveled up and down the Mississippi. It was where he got his pen-name Mark Twain. It was taken from the call of the depth of the river. “Mark two”. Clemens worked as a pilot for more than four years. 
  Pupil 5. Later he used to speak about this time as the happiest period of his life and described it in his book “ Life on the Mississippi. 
  Pupil 2. Then the young man worked with the gold-miners in California for a year. Here he began to write stories and sent them to newspapers under the name of Mark Twain. 
  Pupil 4. Mark Twain did not get a good education, but he knew the folk songs and tales of the Negroes who lived along the Mississippi river, where he grew up.

• Pupil 1. Mark Twain was fond of traveling. He traveled very much making speeches in different towns. During these speeches he always told several funny stories. He was also a famous humorist. There are many humorous stories connected with his name. Here is one of them. 

• Pupil 2. In 1876 the book by Mark Twain “ The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” was published. As Mark Twain said later many of the events described in this book really took place and characters came from real life. Tom Sawyer was very often the portrait of the writer himself, aunt Polly was his mother, Tom’s brother Sid was like his own brother. Look at the main characters: 
  Tom “ I am the main character in the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”. My name is Tom. I hope you like to read about my adventures. I live with my Aunt Polly, my sister Mary and my brother Sid.” 
  Aunt Polly “ I’m Tom’s aunt. My name is Polly. Tom lives with his sister and brother in my house. I love them very much.” 
  Teacher: And now let’s see the scenes from the book “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”. 

Scene l. Monday Morning. (after Mark Twain) Persons: Aunt Polly, her nephews Sid and Tom Sawyer(Том сидит на кровати.Ищет предлог, чтоб не пойти в школу. Исследует палец руки. Стонет. Сид не реагирует. Он стонет громче.)

ТОМ: Oh, Sid, Sid!

(Сид просыпается, потягивается, смотрит на Тома).

SID: Tom! Say, Тот! (нет ответа). What's the matter, Tom?

(Сид трясет его, с тревогой смотрит в лицо.)

ТОМ:Oh, don't Sid. Don't touch me.

SID: Why, what's the matter, Tom? I must call auntie.

TOM: No, never mind. Don't call anybody.

SID: But I must. Don't groan so, Tom, it's awful. How long have you been this way?

TOM: Hours. Ah! Ah! Oh, don't shake me so, Sid, you'll kill me.

SID: Tom, why didn't you wake me sooner? Oh, Tom, don't. Tom, what is

the matter?

TOM: I forgive you everything, Sid. (стонет). Everything you've ever done to me. When I'm gone…

SID: Oh, Tom, you are not dying, are you? Don't, Tom. Oh, don't. Maybe...ТОМ:I forgive everybody, Sid (стонет). Tell them so, Sid. And Sid, you, give my cat with one eye to that new girl that's come to town, and tell her...

(Сид убегает. Приходит тетя Поли.)

SID: Oh, Aunt Polly, come! Tom is dying!

AUNT POLLY: Dying?

SID: Yes.

AUNT POLLY: Nonsense! I don't believe it. Tom, Tom, what's the matter with you?

TOM: Oh, auntie, I am...

AUNT POLLY: What's the matter with you- what is the matter with you, child?

TOM: Oh, auntie, my sore toe is mortified!

SID: Poor Tom! (Тетя садится в кресло и смеется все громче и громче)

AUNT POLLY: Now, Tom, you shut up that nonsense.

(Том прекращает стонать, чувствует себя глупым).

ТОМ:Aunt Polly, it seemed mortified, and it hurt so I never minded my tooth at all.

AUNT POLLY: Your tooth, indeed! What's the matter with your tooth?

TOM: One of them is loose, and it aches perfectly awful.

AUNT POLLY: There, there, now, don't begin that groaning again. Open

your mouth. Well- your tooth is loose, but you are not going to die about that.

Sid, bring me a silk throat, and a chunk of fire out of the kitchen.

TOM: Oh, please, auntie, don't pull it out. It doesn't hurt any more. Please

don't, auntie, I don't want to stay home from school.

AUNT POLLY: Oh, you don't, don't you? So all this row was because you thought you would stay home from school and go fishing? Tom, Tom, I love you so, and you seem to try every way you can to break my old heart with your cruelty.

(Сид приносит инструменты. Один конец нитки привязывает к зубу, другой к спинке стула, подносит неожиданно огонь, Том дергается и зуб вырван).

AUNT POLLY(отдает ему зуб): Here you are. And now start getting ready or you'll be late again.

P10: Samuel's best friend was Tom Blankenship. Tom wore old clothes and never had to dress up. He knew everything about fishing and hunting. He knew everything about the Mississippi River, about canoes and rafts, about the islands out in the river.Sam and Tom became friends fast. They met in secret after school and even at night.

PI: Of course, there were girls in Hannibal. They came to school, they came to church. Out of school they went their own way and played their own kinds of games. Once Sam Clemens went walking with Laura Hawkins whose house was just across the street from his. Sam could behave like a gentleman when he was with Laura. Sam and Laura both liked flowers. Sam and Laura liked to go hunting for flowers, especially the first flowers of spring.

Jim and I are from another book. It is about my adventures. Come on, Jim. Don’t be afraid. We’ll come to a country where all people are free and these two bad men with guns can do you no harm”. Pupil 6. The” Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” was published in 1884. Among Mark Twain’s books is” The Prince and the Pauper” a tale, loved by children all over the world. Writing didn’t bring much money to Mark Twain, so he had to give lectures on literature and read stories to the public. He visited a lot of countries and lived in England for a long time. He died in 1910. 

Pupil7. Mark Twain’s memorial was designed in a small town of Hannibal. It is devoted to the famous writer and his characters Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Becky Tatcher, Aunt Polly and others. The strict and simple furnishings of those times are presented in the Clemens house. There is Tom’s bedroom downstairs. Tom went out the window of that room at night. Next to this house there is Becky Thatcher’s museum. If you press the button at the door wax Becky will tell you about Tom’s love for her. The museum of wax figures is in the house with ghosts. There are wax figures of Mark Twain’s parents and his literature heroes. At night you can see a ghost in a light window under the roof. You can visit a famous cave where Tom and Becky once wandered and there is an old tradition in Hannibal. Young people are married in that famous cave.
