EXERCISE 12
Translate the story:
Итак, что же произошло в летнем заброшенном домике и кто так жутко завывал?
Куджо и Луна подползли к дому и прислушались. Тишина. Зловещая тишина. Им было слышно, как шипит мясо на огне и как звенит комар, но из домика не доносилось ни звука. Собаки осторожно открыли дверь и она заскрипела так громко, что они отскочили от испуга на несколько метров от дома.
Они постояли несколько минут, прежде чем войти в дом. В доме было темно и сыро. Куджо с Луной увидели несколько кроватей с матрасами, поломанные стулья и разбитое зеркало на стене. Луна (как настоящая девочка) сразу подошла в зеркало, чтобы взглянуть на себя. В тот же самый момент она завизжала и выскочила из дома. Куджо ничего не понял, но бросился за ней. Собаки пулей влетели в машину и Луна попыталась даже залезть под заднее сиденье. Они были настолько напуганы, что даже и не вспомнили про шашлык. Мы проехали несколько километров и только тогда Луна рассказала о том, что она увидела в зеркале.
