Question

A When I got to the top of the hill the sun was already going down. The hillsides below me were golden- green on one side and grey shadow on the other. There was no sound and nothing moved on the moor. Onegreat grey bird flew over my head. He and I seemed to be the only living things between the blue sky and theempty land. But down below me there was a circle of old stone huts. * One of these still had enough roof tokeep a person dry when the weather was bad. My heart jumped as I saw it. This must be the stranger's hiding 5place - I could now find out his secret!BA little path through the rocks took me down to the door. Everything was quiet. The man might be waitinginside, or he might be outside on the moor. I closed my hand on the gun in my pocket, walked quickly to thedoor and looked in. The hut was empty.But I was right. This was the place where the man lived. Some blankets in a corner showed me where heslept. I could see the ashes of a fire in the old fireplace. Next to it there were some cooking pots and a bucketof water. Empty tins* were lying on the floor, so I knew that someone had used the place for several days. Anold table stood in the middle of the hut, and on this I found a small bag. Inside there was some bread, sometins of meat and two tins of fruit.Then I noticed a piece of paper under the bag. I picked it up and read it. It said. "Dr Watson has gone toCoombe Tracey: This secret man was collecting information about me! Who was he? What was he doing here?Was he my enemy? I knew I could not leave the hut until I had answers to these questions.10Adapted from The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyleвооттт​

Answer 1

A ) Когда я достиг вершины холма, солнце уже садилось. Склоны холмов подо мной были золотисто-зелеными с одной стороны и серая тень была с другой.  Не было ни звука, и ничего не двигалось на болоте. Одна  большая серая птица пролетела над моей головой. Она и я казались единственными живыми существами между голубым небом и пустой землей. Но внизу я увидел старые каменные лачуги.  У одной из них была достаточно хорошая крыша, для того чтобы человек смог остаться сухим в плохую погоду. Мое сердце дрогнуло, когда я это увидел. Должно быть это и было местом незнакомца - теперь я могу узнать его секрет!

B ) Небольшая тропинка через скалы привела меня к двери лачуги. Было тихо. Возможно мужчина ждет  внутри, или он может быть ушёл на болото. Я зажал пистолет в кармане, быстро подошел к  двери и заглянул внутрь. Хижина была пуста. Но я был прав. Это было место, где жил мужчина. Одеяла в углу указывали на то, где он спал. Я заметил пепел от огня в старом камине. Рядом стояли кастрюли и ведро с водой.   На полу лежали пустые жестяные банки, поэтому  я понял, что здесь кто-то был.  

Посреди хижины стоял старый стол, и на нем я нашел небольшую сумку. Внутри неё было немного хлеба, несколько банок мяса и две консервных банок с фруктами.

C Потом я заметил под сумкой листок бумаги. Я взял его и прочитал. В нем говорилось: "Доктор Ватсон отправился в Кумб Трейси".  Этот таинственный человек собирал информацию обо мне! Кто он был? Что он здесь делал? Был ли он моим врагом? Я знал, что не смогу покинуть хижину, пока не получу ответы на эти вопросы.

По повести Артура Конан Дойля "Собака Баскервилей"

Answer 2

The text you provided is a passage from "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. It's written in a first-person narrative, describing the protagonist's exploration of a hilltop, their discovery of an old stone hut, and their subsequent search for answers about a mysterious man they believe to be following them.

The passage begins with the protagonist reaching the top of a hill. The setting sun and the contrasting colors of the hillsides create a striking visual image. The protagonist is alone, with only a bird flying overhead and the vast, empty land below.

The protagonist then discovers a circle of old stone huts at the bottom of the hill. One of these huts still has a roof, indicating that it's inhabited. The protagonist's heart jumps with anticipation, believing this to be the hiding place of a mysterious man they've been following.

The protagonist then descends to the hut, approaching with caution. The hut is empty, but the protagonist is certain this is the man's residence. They find signs of habitation, such as blankets, ashes from a fire, cooking pots, and a bucket of water. There are also some empty tins, suggesting the man has been staying there for a few days.

In the middle of the hut, the protagonist finds a small bag containing bread, meat, and tins of fruit. They also discover a piece of paper under the bag. The paper reveals that the man, Dr. Watson, has gone to Coombe Tracey, leaving the protagonist with many unanswered questions.

The passage ends with the protagonist realizing they can't leave the hut until they've found answers to their questions: Who is this man? What is he doing here? Is he an enemy? The protagonist knows they must stay and gather more information to solve these mysteries.

This passage is a classic example of suspenseful narrative, as the protagonist is faced with unanswered questions and a sense of mystery. The protagonist's exploration of the hut and discovery of the note sets the stage for further action and revelation in the story.
