The_Merchant_of_Venice-William_Shakespeare
Young Bassanio, whose parents were rich and left him with money, spent all his possessions and had a lot of debts. He decided to marry a rich and beautiful Portia and asked for help from his friend – the Venetian merchant Antonio. Antonio borrowed money from Shylock, the Jewish moneylender. Condition of the deal was that Shylock has the right to cut a part of flesh a pound weight from the body of the merchant if he did not pay back on time. When Antonio ships wrecked and the deadline for payment of the bill has been expired. The case of failed deadline would be heard in the court.
The_Collector-Peter_Viney
It’s August 1st, 1993 today. The twentieth-century film Jurassic Park is in the cinemas this week. It’s a new film, and the pictures of dinosaurs are on everything. They’re on packets of cornflakes, magazines, comics. All these packets here have got the Star Trek picture. But I need packet with dinosaur picture. I can get 300,000 units for that packet at home. The dinosaur picture on that packet is by Kate Hermann. She’s a very famous artist at home. Many people collect food packets with her pictures on them, but they haven’t got the dinosaur picture. No one has got that picture. Kate Hermann’s picture is famous, because the colours of the dinosaurs are correct. Dinosaur pictures usually have all the colours wrong.
