6-th Compare: I enjoyed the play and you? Now let’s listen to the American cowboy song “Home on the Range”.

Home on the range.

1.Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam.

Where the deer and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Chorus:

Home, home on the range,

Where the deer and the antelope play;

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

2.Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free,

And the breeze is so balmy and light,

That I would not exchange my home on the range

For all the city so bright.

Chorus.

3.How often at night, when the heavens are bright

With the light from the glittering stars,

Have I stood there amazed, and asked as I gazed,

If their glory exceeds that of ours.

Chorus.

7-th Compare: I hope you liked that American song. Now let’s go on with Mark Twain’s biography.
