I. Read the following text:

"It's easy for you to talk," said mother, "for you're not shut up in the house with them all day
long, and that's enough to make your hair turn white and make you wish the earth would swallow them
up, God forgive me! I wish the summer would come so that they could play outside a bit; for I've had so
much of them that they set my teeth on edge like crab apples. All the devilish tricks that come into their
minds, they put into practice. When the wood tapping begins to summon people to church, out rushes
Zahei, and starts tapping the loom so that you can hear the very walls of the house creaking and the
windows rattle. While Ion, that blockhead, with sheep-bell, tongs and fender raises such a hullabaloo as
very nearly deafens your ears; then, with a rug on their backs and a paper cap on their heads, they sing:
Halleluja! God give grace,
Our priest has gone and caught a dace!
until they drive you out of the house. And this goes on every day, two or three times a day, so that you
would feel like giving them an almighty thrashing, if you were to take any notice of them."
