religious hospitals in the middle of nowhere, do you?

spooky".

you?

Ex. 4 Translate the sentences using active vocabulary:

1) Ангел и демон понимали, что не просто так жена дипломата поехала рожать
ребенка у черта на куличках. Они решили найти это место, и попали в бывший
монастырь, которые казался ангелу страшным. Они встретили монашку, которая
подменила детей и попытались у неё узнать, велись ли записи в монастыре. Узнав,
что нет, они расстроились и начали думать, как можно было найти Антихриста.
Они предположили, что люди могут почувствовать его.
Angel and demon realized that diplomat’s wife went to give birth in some place in the
middle of nowhere not by accident. They decided to find this exact place and got into a
former monastery which angel found spooky. They met a nun exchanged/swapped the
children and asked her if there were any records in this church. When they found out that
all records burned in fire they get upset and started thinking about other ways of finding
the Antichrist. They assumed that people can sense him.
2) Ведьма встретила в лесу детей, которые играли в охоту на ведьм. Они воображали,
как будут их мучать, когда встретят. Позже ангел почувствовал что-то необычное,
и они встретили ведьму. Благодаря её книге ангел нашел ребенка, и когда он
услышал, что ребенок научил собаку ходить на задних лапах, он поспешил к нему.
The witch met children in the forest who was playing the witch hunting. They imagined
