Funny stories / Сборник лучших смешных рассказов. Уровень 2

The delighted dog rushed backwards, it was barking. I told that dog what I thought of him.

I forgot that I was in a foreign land-said my words in English, they were very loud and clear. The dog stood a yard in front of me, it was listening to me with an expression of ecstatic joy.

“Where have I heard that song before? Say it again! Oh! say it again, the dear old English oaths and curses!”

I learnt from the young lady that her dog was an English-born fox-terrier. That explained everything. The foreign dog does not do this sort of thing[64 - does not do this sort of thing – не способна на нечто подобное].
