Exercise 8. Translate the text (without dictionary).
Exercise 9. Expressive reading. Read the poem “The Apple of His Parents` Eye”.
The apple of his parents` eye,
He was their only son and heir.
His every wish they gratified
And cherished him with loving care.
But infancy soon over, the darling boy was growing, as spoiled as he could be.
They took him to the mullah then,
Great things they hoped to come.
The teacher proved an ignorant
The boy learned nothing from.
He did show promise as a child, the parents could not be so blind, but that`s love is said to be.
Abai Kunanbayev (Translated by Olga Shartse)
