The Cat lay down pretending to be dead. He held his bag open hoping that a rabbit and partridges get inside his bag. I think the cat was very cunning and clever. He knew what to do and he succeeded.

1. If I was a King I would be extremely surprised to hear that some cat wants to see me. I would be more surprised if I saw a cat in boots. Besides this the Cat could talk and brought me gifts. So, I would think that he is the cleverest cat I have ever seen and his master is a generous and very rich person. I would be grateful for his gifts and attention and of course would like to meet him personally.
2. The first present was unexpected. But the second one was a relly huge surprise. The Cat brought me two partridges. It's more than one rabbit last time. It means that the Cat's master respects me a lot and wants to express this deep respect. I like both gifts and can't even choose which one is better. So, to thank the Cat I decided to send him to the kitchen where he got the bast food and drinks from my own cooks.

1. For my last birthday I have got a new iPhone. It is a cool present, I liked it a lot. I still use my iPhone and it helps me a lot in my everyday life.
2. I give different presents to other. It depends on what persons they are, what they like and how close to each other we are. If it is my closest friend I can present something funny. But usually I try to present useful things. It is really hard to find a good present now because people usually have everything they need. But still I think that a book is the best present. There are a lot of modern writers now whose books are interesting and worth to read. So, I read them myself and give to my friends as a present.
