1. Read the first part of Wilhelm Hauff's fairy tale "Little long nose" and match the main characters with the adjectives describing them. One adjective is extra.

Many years ago there lived a poor cobbler (сапожник / шавец) and his wife. The man was quite tall and thin with a long face and short straight dark hair. He had suntanned skin as he spent most of his days outside mending boots and shoes. His wife was a gorgeous woman with big almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes and long curly fair hair which she wore in a bun or a plait. She was slim and had a charming smile. She sold fruit and vegetables from her garden. The man and his wife had a handsome son, named Jacob. He was twelve years old but he was tall like his father and well-built. He had shoulder-length wavy fair hair, a narrow nose and a lot of freckles on his cheeks. He sat by his mother in the market and helped housewives and cooks to carry (нести / несці) home the fruit and vegetables they had bought in the market. He was a cheerful boy, and everybody liked him.

One day an ugly woman came slowly across the market place. She was long in the tooth and dressed in old worn clothes. She had a little, pointed face, all wrinkled with age, small tired eyes, and a sharp hooked nose that nearly met the pointed chin. Her head was shaking and her hands were trembling. She helped herself along with a stick. The cobbler's wife felt a bit scared as the woman really looked like a witch.

"Are you Hannah, the vegetable seller?" she said in a cracked unpleasant voice. "Yes, that is my name", answered the cobbler's wife, "Is there anything I can serve you with?"

"I must see, I must see", the woman replied. She plunged her brown skinny fingers into the basket of herbs (с травами / з травамі), put them to her long hooked nose and smelt them. The cobbler's wife wasn't very pleased but she didn't say a word. Finally, the old woman said, "Rubbish, rubbish, this is good for nothing."

These words made young Jacob blush. "You are a rude old woman", he said angrily. "First you touch our beautiful fresh herbs with your old dirty fingers, put them to your long, hooked nose and then call them rubbish when even the king's cook buys our greens!"

The old woman looked at Jacob and frowned. Then she started laughing nervously, "Ah, my little man, do you like my nose, my nice long nose? Then you will have a nice long nose too, one that will go from the middle of your face right down below your chin."

"Please, don't talk this way to the child", said the cobbler's wife. "If you want to buy anything, make your choice!"

"Very well", answered the old woman smiling, "I will buy these six cabbages. But you must let your little son carry them home for me because I have to use my stick and can't carry the vegetables myself. I will pay him for his help."
