Перевод задания: Разгадайте анаграммы и найдите спрятанные слова.

1. One day in spring four men were riding on horseback along a country road. These men were lawyers, and they were going to the next town to attend court. (Однажды весной четверо мужчин ехали верхом по просёлочной дороге. Они были юристами и направлялись в ближайший город, чтобы присутствовать в суде.)
2. There had been a rain, and the ground was very soft. Water was dripping from the trees, and the grass was wet. (Прошёл дождь, и земля была очень мягкой. С деревьев капала вода, и трава была мокрой.)
3. As they were passing through a forest of small trees, they heard a great noise over their heads and a little noise in the grass by the roadside. (Когда они проезжали через лесок, они услышали громкий шум над своими головами и тихий шум в траве у дороги.)
4. “What is the matter here?” asked the first lawyer, whose name was Speed. “Oh, it’s only some old robins!” said the second lawyer, whose name was Hardin. (“Что здесь происходит?” — спросил первый юрист по имени Спид. «О, это всего лишь старые малиновки!» — сказал второй юрист по имени Хардин.)
5. “The storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. They are too young to fly, and the mother bird is making a great fuss about it.” “What a pity! They’ll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer, whose name I forget. (“Буря выбросила из гнезда двух птенцов. Они слишком малы, чтобы летать, и мать-птица очень беспокоится». «Как жаль! Они там, в траве, погибнут», — сказал третий юрист, имя которого я забыл.)
