SWALLOW AND SPARROW

Swallow and sparrow became close friends. They started walking around in
together. Other swallows said nothing at the beginning about this circumstance.
However, the things changed when the swallow started bringing the sparrow to
its nest. Nest of the swallow was under the eaves of an empty wooden house and
there were many nests of swallow next to it. Going there from and thereto made
swallows disturbed.
Swallows held a meeting and they appointed a spokesman. This spokesman told
about this circumstance with it in a suitable time and said it not to bring this
sparrow to its nest.
Although the swallow showed some obstinacy, it finally was obliged to obey by
this requirement.
One night the sparrow suddenly wakened while it was sleeping. Tree on which it
built up its nest among its branches was swinging. It flied away and had a looksee round the environment. Thereupon, it recognised that it was an earthquake.
Its close friend, the swallow, came to its mind. It arrived at its nest and it
weakened its close friend. It said the swallow to weaken other swallows and the
wooden house may be fallen onto the ground. The swallow fulfilled what it said.
Once the last swallow flied away there, the wooden house was fallen onto the
ground. Later, swallows set up new nests under eaves of another house and they
did make no rejection for the sparrow to go from and to the nest of the swallow
for the reason that they were owed their life to it.

POOR AHMET
Ahmets mother and father were poor. They were living in a small house with
only one room. Since his fathers lungs were ill, he compulsorily retired. Ahmet
finished primary school in difficulty by selling pretzel out of school time. Later
by the help of his neighbour he started to work in a restaurant to do the washing
up. Ahmet had taken the first step to realize his dreams. He had met the
wonderful meals which he formerly used to see behind the restaurant windows.
Now he had full three courses a day. He had kept Uncle Veli, who was cooking
in the restaurant, observing. He would learn cooking from him and he would be
a cook himself, too but Ahmet would work not in somebody elses restaurant but
in his own one.
Ahmet opened a restaurant in the city centre after he had done his military
service. Because his meals were very delicious, the restaurant was full of
customers. He was earning well. Sometimes poor people used to come to the
restaurant and eat free meal.
The waiters working in the restaurant and the customers couldnt find any sense
of Ahmets going and leaving two plates of meals to an empty table during lunch
times. How would they know that they were Ahmets present to his mother and
father, whom the poverty had finished years ago? They also wouldnt be able to
hear that while putting the plates on the table Ahmet was murmuring you arent
going stay hungry any more from now on mummy and daddy. Have your meals
and get yourself very full.

The lion seeing the jackal to walk some ahead has roared. The jackal
pointed its gun at it when it saw that the lion was approaching, and immediately

Televizyonun karsnda gzel bir bardak ay ierdik!

George: Well, here we are Mildred, isnt this lovely? Peace

and quiet, beautiful countryside. Green grass,
mountains, nature. It feels good to be alive.
George: te buradayz. Mildred ne ho deil mi? Huzurlu,
sessiz ve gzel kr. Yeil imenler, dalar ve doa.
Yaamak ne gzel!
Mildred: Id feel better if I hadnt heard the weather
forecast, the man on the television said there was
going to be terrible thunderstorms and it was
going to hail!
Mildred: Hava durumunu duymam olsaydm ben de
kendimi iyi hissedecektim. Televizyondaki adam
mthi gk grltl frtnalarn geleceini ve dolu
yaacan syledi.
George: Nonsense! You dont believe weather forecasts,
do you? I never believe weather forecasts. If they
say its going to rain the sun shines, if they say its
going to be hot and sunny it snows!
George Sama! Hava durumlarna inanmyorsun deil mi?
Ben hi inanmam. Yamur yaacak dediklerinde

gne parldar, scak ve gneli olacak

dediklerinde kar yaar!
Mildred: So you go and choose to go camping on a day
with the worst possible weather forecast!
Honestly, George youre impossible!
Mildred: Bu yzden gittin ve kamp iin en kt hava
durumlu gn setin! Gerekten George
tahamml edilmez bir adamsn!
George: But, look, its sunny now! There isnt a cloud in the
sky!
George: Fakat, bak u anda gneli!. Gkte bir tek bulut
yok!
Mildred: Yes, but you know as well as I do what the
English weather is like. One minute, you can be
sunbathing in your swimming trunks. And the next
minute, its pouring with rain!
Mildred: Fakat ngiliz havasn sen de benim kadar
biliyorsun. Bir an mayonla gnelenebilirsin dier
bir dakika bardaktan boanrcasna yamur
yayordur!
George: Anyway, what does it matter if it rains? Weve got
our waterproof tent.
George: Neyse, yamur yaarsa ne farkeder? Bizim su
geirmeyen adrmz var.
Mildred: Oh that! Did you waterproof it yourself?
Mildred: Oh! Onu sen mi su geirmez yaptn?
George: Yes, I did what they told me in the camping shop.
I put paraffin all over the tent. They told me that
would keep the rain out.

George: Evet, ben yaptm, kamping dkkannda

anlattklaryla. Btn adrn stne parafin
koydum. Onun yamurdan koruyacan
sylediler.
Mildred: O.K. Lets get on with it and put the tent up!
Mildred: Peki, gel imdi adr kuralm.
George: There you are! Doesnt it look nice!
George: te oldu! Gzel grnmyor mu?
Mildred: It certainly looks all right. But it smells horrible. Its
that paraffin you poured over it. It stinks! Im not
sleeping in it. Its dangerous.
Mildred: Gerekten ok iyi gzkyor, fakat korkun
kokuyor. Bu da onun stne dktn parafin
yznden. ok kt kokuyor! Ben iinde
yatmayacam.
Tehlikeli.
George: Nonsense! To live in nature, you have to be tough,
get used to living rough. The smell of paraffin
never hurt anybody!
George: Sama! Doada yaamak iin dayankl olmalsn
ve zor yaama almalsn. Parafin kokusu hi
kimseyi incitmez!
Mildred: Im not sleeping in that tent! And thats final! Im
sleeping in the car!
Mildred: O adrda yatmayacam! Bu son! Arabada
uyuyacam!
George: Oh, all right, all right. You sleep in the car then. Ill
sleep in the te

George: Peki, peki, sen arabada uyu yleyse, ben adrda

uyuyacam.
Mildred: Im hungry. What about cooking some supper?
Mildred: Am. Akam yemei piirmeye ne dersin?
George: No, problem. Theres a stream over there, so
weve got freshwater and theres plenty of wood to
make a fire.
George: Problem deil. Orada kk bir dere var, iyi
suyumuzu alabiliriz, ate yakmak iinse ok odun
var.
Mildred: George, I cant find the matches! How are we
going to light the fire
Mildred: George, kibritleri bulamyorum! Ate nasl
yakacaz?
George: I know. I read in a book that millions of years ago
when people lived in caves, they used to strike
two stones together to make fire.
George: Biliyorum, milyonlarca yl nce insanlar maarada
yaadklarnda ate yakmak iin iki ta birbirine
srttklerini okumutum.
Mildred: Where are you going to get the stones from.
Mildred: Peki, talar nereden alacaksn?
George: Over there in the stream.
George: Oradan, dereden.
Mildred: And what about paper? You need paper to light a
fire and we didnt even bring a newspaper!

Mildred: Peki kat? Ate yakmak iin kada ihtiyacn var

ve biz, bir gazete bile getirmedik!
George: Dont worry I know what to do, well use dry
leaves to start the fire! You see mother nature
provides everything for people who live the
healthy outdoor life!
George: Endielenme, ne yapacamz biliyorum, atei
yakmak iin kuru yapraklar kullanacaz!
Gryorsun, tabiat ana, darda salkl yaayan
insanlara hereyi sunuyor!
Mildred: Well, hurry up then and get a fire started! Dont
just stand there talking about it! George, George,
youre making so much smoke, my eyes are
stinging and my clothes smell very bad!
Mildred: Tamam, acele et ve atei yak! Sadece konuup
durma! George, George ok kt duman
yapyorsun, gzlerim yanyor ve elbiselerim ok

George: Thats funny! I didnt see any cows when we first
came here. They must have come from another
field.
George: ok sama! Buraya ilk geldiimizde hi inek

Mildred: They probably came when they saw us, may be
they thought we could give them something to

yemek iin bireyler vereceimizi dndler!

George: We did, your sandwiches!

George: Verdik, senin sandvilerini!
Mildred:
