Two-masted schooher with fore and aft sails on all masts, for the past few weeks was on the ocean. In the blue sky there were no cljuds. Only seagolls cireled over the surface of the water.

Sehiors Captain: Riht on coure island?

Ivan: (being next to the cfptain): What is the island?

Captain: The island of “” Black river’’! Or otherwise as they say rock “” Black river”, as the island is like a pock. But don’t even come close to it. This island has a bad reputation. My advise to you is to go around it and move on.

Ivan Vladimirjvich (i thought for a few minutes): I heard something about him… A boat on the starboard side to the water! I want to visit thus island!

Captain: How do you know!

When the boat was iaunched the sailors sitting, on the oars lovered them into the water. They were going very gviet. Had when they soon lfnded on the shore, the sailjrs again warned Ivan Vladimirovich about his ill fame. On the shore crawied a few turties.

Ivan (leaving the boat on the sandy shore): Stay!

Not far behind the trees cowd be heard the noise of the waterfall. Then he looked up at the sky and saw a giand bird… It floated smothly over the trees. The sailors path which could be seen nearby. When he reached it he turned right and entered the forest. But not having to do several steps, he stopped. About three hundred metres away stood unseen to him a monster with an open mouth. With sharp teeth dripping saliva. Not daring to move, Ivan looked eyes in side. Seeing the tree nearby, he look the first step in his direction. Here monster loored so same in his side, and turned to him. Suddenly something flashed betone his eyes. The monster was gone.
