I read to the teams extracts; you must guess whom about this extract and its author.
1) Однажды летом она со своей сестрой Лорин сидела на зеленой полянке неподалеку от реки. Было жарко и ничего не хотелось делать, даже собирать цветы. Ужасно хотелось спать, и она прилегла на траву. Вдруг мимо нее проскочил Белый Кролик, бормотавший про себя: «Ну, вот опять опаздываю!» «С каких это пор кролики заговорили?» — подумала девочка. Тут Кролик вынул из жилетного кармана часы и заторопился, и заспешил еще больше. Пока она, запыхавшись, бежала за ним и раздумывала, положено ли кроликам вообще иметь часы, тот пропал из виду, так как скрылся в огромной кроличьей норе. Времени на раздумья уже не было, и девочка и девочка ринулась вниз за Белым Кроликом. Падала она очень медленно. (Алиса. Алиса в стране чудес. Л.Кэролл)
2) Она была сплошь черная как чернила, но с отметинами, видимыми на свету. Никто в джунглях не хотел бы становиться ей поперек дороги, ибо она была хитра, как шакал, отважна, как дикий буйвол, и бесстрашна, как раненый слон. Зато голос у нее был сладок как мед, а шкура – легче пуха. (Багира. Маугли. Р. Киплинг).
3) Был прекрасный летний день. «Сегодня воскресенье, в школу идти не надо. Ну почему мне приходится сегодня работать, Почему именно я должен белить этот забор? – думал мальчик, идя по улице с ведром белил и огромной кистью. «Какая тяжелая жизнь. А ведь скоро мимо пойдут ребята», — подумал он и принялся за работу. Забор был длинный и очень высокий. (Том Сойер. Приключения Тома Сойера и Геккельбери Финна. М.Твен)
4) Когда он очнулся, было уже утро и шторм уже кончился. Корабль был виден не так далеко, но одна его половина уже полностью ушла под воду. Добравшись до него вплавь, человек стал в первую очередь искать именно те инструменты, при помощи которых он смог бы построить плот. Вскоре нужные ему вещи отыскались в двух больших ящиках. Тогда, собрав все, что еще могло пригодиться ему на острове (одежду, посуду, английский флаг, фонарь и еду), он принялся за работу. (Робинзон Крузо. Приключения Робинзона Крузо. Д.Дефо)
