Reading Test. The 9th form 1. Read the story and do the tasks: ‘A GOOD LESSON’. One day a well-known singer was invited to the house of a rich lady to sing to her guests at a dinner-party. But instead of inviting the singer to dine with her guests, the lady ordered dinner for him in the servants' room. The singer said nothing. He dined well and after dinner said to the servants: "Now, my good friends, I am going to sing to you". The servants were very much surprised but said they were awfully glad to have a chance to hear the great singer. He sang a good many beautiful songs and the servants enjoyed listening to him. Later the lady sent one of her servants to bring the singer up to the drawing-room, where all her guests were waiting for him. "But I cannot sing twice in one evening, Madam", said the singer to the lady when she met him at the door leading into the drawing-room. "What do you mean?" asked the lady. "I mean I have already sung for about an hour to your servants, Madam", answered the singer, "it was a pity you were not there, for I always sing to the people with whom I dine". And with these words he left the house.
