There are eighty parks in London, large and small. Three of them are in the centre of the city: Hyde Park, Regent's Park and St. .lames’s Park. The others are -in different parts of London. London is a very green city. In the south-west London, near the river Thames‘ there is a fantastic park of Great Britain—the Kew Gardens.’ It is a hotanical garden. All year round you see lots of flowers there because Kew gets its plants— 100,000 different plants from almost all countries of the world. The plants, which

like hot weather live in greenhouses, for example, palms grow in the palm house. The first palm was planted here 150 years ago. Now not —only palm trees, but bananas and oranges grow here too. Another house, which people like to visit, is the cactus house. Cactuses came here from deserts where month after month it doesn't rain. There are hundreds of different trees in 120 hectares of Kew. Some of the trees are 200 years old. The workers of the garden planted them when Kew was quite young. In some countries trees hecome scarce. The workers of Kew go to these countries and come back with the seeds of these trees and plant them at Kew. Thus the trees which are few in the world, -live in this garden. Kew is important for men, who are fond of nature, trees and flowers, and for young men, who are going to study botany and gardening. Every year sixty young men from all over the world come here for the three-year-course of garden-ing at Kew. After this course they work in big parks and

gardens in many different countries. In three museums of Kew visitors see timber from the trees of many countries, food plants, medicine plants and in-

dustrial plants. 300 people work at Kew now. K In fine weather about 20,000 people a day come to visit KEW.

When the fish was put on the table, a young man said: "Let's examine the fish carefully. Perhaps we'll find a diamond in it". Everybody began to laugh, but an old man said quietly: "Yes, I'm sure we have all heard such stories. Let me tell you what happened to me once". "When I was a young man", he began, "I worked for a big company in New York: and I was sent to England to do some work there. I was in love with a beautiful girl, and before I left for England, we decided that we would be married when I returned home." I stayed in England for two months. I sent letters or postcards to the girl almost every day, but after the first two weeks I didn't receive any answers. But I didn't think anything was the matter, and before I left for home, I bought a beautiful diamond ring for her. On the ship one morning, a telegram was brought to me. It was from a friend in New York, who told me that the girl had changed her mind and was going to be married to another man. I was so angry that I threw the diamond ring into the sea. My friend came to the port to meet me, and he invited me to dinner. When we were sitting down at the table and I was eating fish, I suddenly felt something hard in my mouth. What do you think it was? "The diamond!" all the Americans cried. "No", the old man answered. "It was a fish bone".
