Many years ago in Verona, Italy, there were two families.
‘We are the Capulets.’
‘We are the Montagues.’
These families are always fighting. The Montagues have a son, Romeo. The Capulets have a daughter, Juliet.
One night the Capulets have a party and Romeo goes. He meets Juliet and they fall in love. Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, sees Romeo and is very angry.
‘He’s a Montague! Get him!’
‘Oh Romeo, why are you a Montague?’
Romeo and Juliet talk and decide to get married.
They know that their families will be very angry so they go to Friar Lawrence and are married in secret.
The next day, Tybalt sees Romeo. He is still angry with Romeo and wants to fight him. Romeo doesn’t want to fight but his best friend, Mercutio, does.
‘If you won’t fight him, I will!’
Mercutio fights Tybalt. Tybalt kills Mercutio! Romeo is so upset he fights Tybalt and kills him too!
The Prince of Verona is very angry and sends Romeo away. Juliet goes to Friar Lawrence for help.

‘Here is a special drink. You will sleep for two days. Your family will think you are dead but you will wake up. Then you and Romeo can be free together.’
Friar Lawrence sends Romeo a letter to tell him the plan. But Romeo doesn’t get the message. He hears that Juliet is dead!
Romeo is so upset he buys some poison and goes to see Juliet.
‘Now I will stay with you forever.’
Too late, Juliet wakes up! She sees what happened.
‘Oh no! You didn’t leave any poison for me but here is your knife.’
Romeo and Juliet are both dead. Friar Lawrence tells the Capulets and Montagues what happened. They are so sad they agree not to fight any more.

Easter is usually in April or May. It is a religious holiday. It celebrates the rebirth of Jesus. At Easter, many people like painting eggs in bright colours.

In England children play a game of rolling eggs down a hill. Many children go on an egg hunt, looking for hidden Easter eggs!

People eat lots of chocolate eggs and chocolate bunnies. In the UK, people also eat hot cross buns and a special Easter cake.

There was once a young and very beautiful princess. Her name was Nadia.
One morning she was near a fountain in the garden of her father’s palace. She
had a small golden ball. She played with her ball. Suddenly she threw the ball so
high in the air that she could not catch it and it fell in the water of the fountain.
Nadia looked for her small golden ball, but she could not find it. She began to
cry and said, “I shall give anything to have my golden ball again!”
“Will you?” said a voice from the fountain. Nadia looked down and saw a frog
in the water.
“Of course I shall,” cried Nadia, “but what can you do, ugly frog?” “I shall bring
your golden ball. But then you will let me live with you, eat from a golden plate,
and sleep on your bed.” “Very well,” Nadia said to the frog.
“Bring me my golden ball and I shall do what you want.” The frog was happy.
It brought the golden ball and Nadia ran away. Soon she forgot about her promise.
The next day when Nadia was having supper she heard a strange noise
– tap, tap, tap, tap – and a voice said, “Open the door. You must keep your

ONCE A MAN went to a place(վայր) to find some work. He came to a village(գյուղ) where he saw (տեսավ)people breaking up wood(փայտ)with their hands.

“Brothers,” he said, “why do it with your hands? Don’t you have an axe(կացին)?”

‘‘What’s an axe?” asked the villagers(գյուղացիներ).

The man took his axe from his belt(գոտի), cut the wood. Seeing this, the villagers ran through the village calling:

“Hey, everybody! Come and see what Brother Axe has done!”

The villagers gathered(հավաքվեցին) about the owner of the axe, asked him, gave him valuable gifts(արժեքավոր նվերներ) to take the axe from him.

The first day the king took the axe. As he wanted to cut with an axe, it fell on his foot and cut it. He started to cry with pain.

“Come here, everybody! Brother Axe has bitten(կծել) my foot.”

The villagers began to beat(ծեծել) the axe. Then they began to put it in the fire. The flames(բոցերը) rose high. When the fire had died down(հանգչել), they saw that the axe had turned red.

“Oh!” they cried, “Brother Axe is angry(բարկացել է). Look how red he has turned! What shall we do?

They finally decided(որոշեցին) to throw the axe into prison(բերդ). So they threw it into king’s barn(ամբար). The barn was full of hay(խոտ). As soon as the red-hot axe touched the hay a great fire started.

Terrified(Վախեցած), the villagers ran after its owner, they said, “Come, please, and bring Brother Axe to his senses(Կացին ախպորը խելքի բեր)!”

Once upon a time there was a brave knight called George. George
had lots of adventures as he travelled by horse across many lands.
One day he came to a small village and met a man who lived in a cave
next to the village.
The hermit told the knight about the awful things that were
happening there. A terrible dragon had come to live in the lake and attacked the village every day.
The villagers didn’t know what to do. First, they gave the dragon all their food, but the dragon just
took the food and still attacked the village.
So then the villagers gave the dragon all the animals from their farms. The dragon took all the
animals, but continued to attack the villagers.
So then they gave the dragon all their gold and jewels. The dragon took all their money, but still was
not satisfied.
The king sent his army to try and capture the dragon, but the dragon was too strong and the
knights of the army were too scared and they ran away.
With nothing left to give, the king could only think of one thing to help protect his people. He sent his
only daughter, the princess, to the lake to wait for the dragon.
When George heard this he rode as fast as he could to the lake. Just then the dragon jumped out
from the lake and was going to eat the princess.
George attacked the dragon. He fought very bravely, won the fight and killed the dragon. George and
the princess returned to the village and everyone was very pleased that they would have no more
problems with the dragon.
Today, the story of George’s bravery is remembered and George is known as the patron saint of
many countries.

Hi. I’m Dino, the family dog. I help keep people safe, especially on the
roads. Take a look at my diary to see what I did last week.
Sunday
Some children really don’t think. Our neighbour’s boy ran in front of a
car to get his ball. The car almost hit him. I saved him though.
Remember, always look and listen.
Monday
Walking on the street at night can be very dangerous, especially if you wear dark clothes. Car drivers
can’t see you very well, just like these two I had to take home. Luckily I never go out without my
reflective jacket and collar. Remember, BE SEEN!
Tuesday
People can get very angry when driving, usually for silly reasons. One driver started shouting at Mum
today when she stopped to let some children cross the road. I soon made him stop.
Wednesday
One thing makes me really mad. Grrrrrr. People walking on a dangerous road when they can walk on
the safe pavement. I saw two girls doing that today but I soon made them change their minds.
Thursday
Seat belts can save your life! I make sure everyone in our car wears their seat belt. If they forget, I
soon remind them. Even I’ve got one.
Friday
I like Fridays. The roads are quieter. But you still have to be careful. I caught Dad talking on his mobile
phone while driving. I soon stopped him though. Don’t worry, he got his phone back.
Saturday
Today Mum took me for a walk. One car was parked in a very dangerous place. It was right on the
corner of the street. Don’t worry though. I left him a message!

In a deep forest there lives a goat. She has a lovely black kiddy-ուլիկ. Every day she leaves –(թողնել) the kiddy at home and goes to the field to graze(արածել). In the evening she comes home, knocks(թակել) at the door and calls:

Black kiddy,

Lovely sonny,

I have walked over hills, Ման եմ եկել սարեսար

I have made (պատրաստել եմ) sweet milk for you,

Open the door let me in,

And I will give (կտամ) you sweet, sweet milk,

Black kiddy,

Lovely sonny!

The kiddy jumps to his feet and opens the door. Mother Goat gives him milk and goes to graze again.

The wolf watches all this. One evening he comes near the door and knocks at it and calls in his hard (ծանր) voice.

Black kiddy

Lovely sonny

I have walked over hills,

I have made sweet milk for you,

Open the door let me in,

And I will give you sweet, sweet milk,

Black kiddy

Lovely sonny!

The kiddy listens and listens and then he asks.

“Who are you? I don’t know you. My mother doesn’t call that way. She has a sweet, soft (փափուկ) voice. Go away…Don’t come here any more…….I don’t want you.

The wolf goes away.

Soon the mother goat comes, knocks at the door and calls:

Black kiddy,

Lovely sonny,

I’ve walked over the hills,

I have made sweet milk for you,

Open the door let me in,

And I will give you sweet, sweet milk,

Black kiddy

Lovely sonny!

The kiddy opens the door, drinks his milk and tells his mother about the wolf.

At that moment mother goat gets angry and says to his son:

“My dear lovely son, it is good that you didn’t open (չբացեցիր) the door. It was the wolf. If he comes again, don’t open the door. Tell him to go away. Shout (բղավել) at him,-Go away, if you don’t go away, my mother will kill you (կսպանի) with her sharp horns.”

Armenians have traditional clothing for women called “taraz”. There are varieties of tarazes from different regions of the country that are decorated with Armenian ethnic ornaments. The same is with traditional jewelries that are made of silver, and based on the ornaments, you could guess which region that jewelry comes from. More on the history and development of traditional clothing you can learn at the History Museum of Armenia. I have to say that getting familiar with tarazes and traditional jewelry will help you to have already a notable background on Armenian culture. Not a long time ago, there was a woman called Lusik Aguletsi, a famous painter and ethnographer, who used to walk in the streets of Yerevan wearing traditional clothing and jewelry. Since she was almost the only one in modern Armenia to follow “old Armenian fashion”, she became famous in the town. This article is to invite you to visit Lusik Aguletsi house-museum, where you will get a warm welcome from the hosts and will have a chance to spend a fantastic time in a very traditional place.
