Translate the story:
К счастью, на чердаке был полный порядок и даже ящик шкафа был задвинут. Родители успокоились, спустились вниз и начали собираться обратно в город. Куджо и Луна побежали к своему тайнику под яблоней, чтобы забрать письма. На земле, прямо на их тайном месте сидел летучий мышонок. Он завернулся в свои крылья и тихонько поскуливал. Голодный и замерзший. Куджо и Луна поймали ему несколько мух на обед и малыш повеселел. Его нельзя было оставлять под деревом одного, так как он был слишком мал и беззащитен. Луна и Куджо решили, что если они не возьмут его с собой в город, то он погибнет.
Они подумали, что убедят родителей потом, а пока просто укутали малыша в теплый шарф и спрятали в рюкзак вместе со старыми письмами и загадочной коробкой. Они не знали, чем, кроме насекомых, кормят летучих мышей, но на всякий случай положили бутерброд с сыром.
Пока они ехали, из рюкзака не доносилось ни звука и Куджо подумал, что малыш просто наелся, согрелся и уснул. Но когда они уже подъезжали к городу, он осторожно заглянул в рюкзак и . никого там не увидел! Что же случилось с малышом? Неужели он выполз из сумки и остался в деревне? Что с ним будет, если они его не найдут и не помогут?

Unit 3
Conditional Sentences (unreal condition of present and future)
⠀
We use these sentences to express imaginary situations which are contrary to facts in the present and, therefore, are unlikely to happen in the present or future.
The structure is:
Subject + would (could, might) + V0 if subject + Past Simple or Past Continuous.
If Lunas parents werent so superstitious, they wouldnt object to the pup.
We usually use were instead of was for all persons in the if-clause:
If I were him, Id read more about bats.
The following expressions can be used instead of if: provided/providing that, as long as, suppose/supposing, etc.
Suppose you met a vampire bat, what would you do?

kudjo and Luna were so anxious about the ***** that they completely forgot about the letters and the strange *****, which they had taken from the *****. A day later they were ***** and chatting in Kudjos room when Luna suddenly caught sight of the backpack and remembered the *****. She screamed with excitement, rushed to the bag, ***** it, took out the pile of letters and the box and ***** them to Kudjo. They decided to start from the box, but to their great disappointment, they didnt manage to ***** it. They put it aside and opened the first letter. There was nothing special in it. It was written by a dog who moved to some old ***** after the death of a relative. Kudjo and Luna had read a couple of boring letters more and were about to stop when suddenly they spotted the word «ghost. They went on to read about the ***** of a dog that had been looking for some treasure for ages. At this moment Kudjo and Luna realised that they were reading the story of Lunas great-great-great-great-great *****, the dog that mysteriously ***** through a puzzle. Now, they knew what exactly had happened to that lady dog. But what about the treasure? Where to look for it? Where is this ghost now? What house is it haunting? What is there in the ***** and how to open it?
