We decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day. We thought it a fine idea. It made us realize how much Mother had done for us for years, and all the efforts and sacrifices that she had made for our sake.
So we decided that we’d make it a great day, a holiday for all the family, and do everything we could to make our Mother happy. Father decided to take a holiday from his office, so as to help in celebrating the day, and my sister Ann and I stayed home from college classes, and Mary my brother Will stayed home from High School.
It was our plan to make it a day just like Xmas or any big holiday, and so we decided to decorate the house with flowers. We asked Mother to do it, because she always does it.
The two girls thought it would be a nice thing to dress in our best for such a big occasion and so they both got new hats. Father had bought silk ties for himself and us boys. We were going to get Mother a new hat too, but it turned out that she liked her old hat better than a new one.
After breakfast we decided that we would hire a motor car and take Mother for a beautiful drive away into the country. Mother is hardly ever able to have a treat like that, because she is busy in the house nearly all the time.
But on the very morning of the day we changed the plan a little bit. We all felt that it would be nicer to have a definite purpose. It turned out that Father had just got a new rod the day before, and he said that Mother could use it if she wanted to: in fact, he said it was practically for her, only Mother said she would rather watch him fish than fish herself.
So we got everything ready for the trip. Mother cut up some sandwiches and packed all up in a basket for us.
When the car came to the door, it turned out that we couldn’t all get in. Father said that he could stay at home and work in the garden. There was a lot of dirty work that he could do. He said that he wanted us to be happy and have a big day. The girls said that Mother had only to say the word and.
In the end it was decided that Mother would stay at home and have a lovely restful day round the house. It turned out anyway that Mother didn’t care for fishing and also it was just a little bit cold and fresh out-of-doors, though it was lovely and sunny, and Father was afraid that Mother might take cold if she came.
So we all drove away and Mother stood and watched us as long as she could see us.
We had the loveliest day. Father and the boys fished, the girls met quite a lot of people. We all had a splendid time.
It was quite late when we got back. The dinner was ready. It was grand. Mother had to get up and down during the meal fetching things back and forward, but at the end Father noticed it and said she simply mustn’t do it.
When the dinner was over all of us wanted to help clear the things up and wash the dishes, only Mother said that she would really much rather do it.
It was quite late when it was all over, and when we all kissed Mother before going to bed, she said it had been the most wonderful day in her life and I think there were tears in her eyes.

ТЕКСТ. Как мы продолжали День матери Стивена Ликока
Мы решили иметь специальную празднование Дня Матери. Мы думали, что прекрасная идея. Это заставило нас понять, насколько мать сделала для нас в течение многих лет, и все усилия и жертвы, которые она сделала ради нас.
Поэтому мы решили, что мы сделаем это великий день, праздник для всей семьи, и делать все, что мы могли сделать наш Мать счастлива. Отец решил взять отпуск от его офиса, чтобы помочь в праздновании дня, и моя сестра Энн и я остался домой из колледжа классов, и Мэри, брат мой, остался дома из средней школы.
Это был наш план, чтобы сделать это день просто хотел Рождество или любой большой праздник, и поэтому мы решили украсить дом с цветами. Мы попросили Мать сделать ее, потому что она всегда это делает.
Эти две девочки думали, что это будет хорошая вещь, чтобы одеваться в наш лучший для такого большого случая, и поэтому они оба получили новые шляпы. Отец купил шелковые галстуки для себя и нас мальчики. Мы собираемся, чтобы получить мать новую шляпу тоже, но оказалось, что она любила ее старая шляпа лучше, чем новый.
После завтрака мы решили, что мы бы нанять легковой автомобиль и принять Мать для красивой езды в стране. Мать почти не в состоянии иметь удовольствие, как, что, поскольку она занята в доме почти все время.
Но на самом утром в день мы изменили план немного. Мы все чувствовали, что было бы лучше, чтобы иметь определенную цель. Оказалось, что отец только что получил новый стержень накануне, и он сказал, что мать может использовать его, хочет ли она, чтобы: в самом деле, он сказал, что это было практически для нее, только мать сказала, что она предпочла бы посмотреть ему рыбу, чем рыбы Сама.
Таким образом, мы уже все готово для поездки. Мать резать бутерброды и упакованы все в корзине для нас.
Когда машина пришла к двери, оказалось, что мы не могли все получить. Отец сказал, что он может остаться дома и на работе в саду. Был много грязной работы, что он мог сделать. Он сказал, что он хотел, чтобы быть счастливым и иметь большой день. Девушки сказали, что мать была только сказать слово и.
В конце концов было решено, что Мать остаться дома и иметь прекрасный спокойный день вокруг дома. Оказалось, все равно, что мать не заботится для рыбалки, а также это было просто немного холодно и свежо вне дверей, хотя это было прекрасно и солнечно, и Отец боялся, что мать может принять холодный, если она пришла.
Так мы все уехали и мама стояли и смотрели на нас, как долго, как она могла видеть нас.
У нас был самый прекрасный день. Отец и мальчики ловили рыбу, девочки встретились довольно много людей. Мы все хорошо провели время.
Это было довольно поздно, когда мы вернулись. Обед был готов. Это было грандиозно. Мать была получить вверх и вниз во время еды кокетливыми вещей назад и вперед, но в конце Отец заметил это и сказала, что просто не должны это делать.
Когда обед кончился все из нас не хотел, чтобы помочь очистить вещи и мыть блюда, только Родной сказал, что она будет действительно много, а делать это.
Это было довольно поздно, когда все было кончено, и когда мы все целовали Мать перед сном, она сказала, что было самым прекрасным днем в ее жизни, и я думаю, что были слезы на глазах.

So we decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day. We thought it a fine idea. It made us all realize how much Mother had done for us for years, and all the efforts and sacrifice that she had made for our sake.
We decided that we’d make it a great day, a holiday for all the family, and do everything we could to make Mother happy. Father decided to take a holiday from his office, so as to help in celebrating the day, and my sister Anne and I stayed home from college classes, and Mary and my brother Will stayed home from High School.
It was our plan to make it a day just like Xmas or any big holiday, and so we decided to decorate the house with flowers and with mottoes over the mantelpieces, and all that kind of thing. We got Mother to make mottoes and arrange the decorations, because she always does it at Xmas.
The two girls thought it would be a nice thing to dress in our very best for such a big occasion and so they both got new hats. Mother trimmed both the hats, and they looked fine, and Father had bought silk ties for himself and us boys as a souvenir of the day to remember Mother by. We were going to get Mother a new hat too, but it turned out that she seemed to really like her old grey bonnet better than a new one, and both the girls said that it was awfully becoming to her.
Well, after breakfast we had it arranged as a surprise for Mother that we would hire a motor car and take her for a beautiful drive away into the country. Mother is hardly ever able to have a treat like that, because we can only afford to keep one maid, and so Mother is busy in the house nearly all the time.
But on the very morning of the day we changed the plan a little bit, because it occurred to Father that a thing it would be better to do even than to take Mother for a motor drive would be to take her fishing; if you are going to fish, there is a definite purpose in front of you to heighten the enjoyment.
So we all felt that it would be nicer for Mother to have a definite purpose; and anyway, it turned out that Father had just got a new rod the day before.
So we got everything arranged for the trip, and we got Mother to cut up some sandwiches and make up a sort of lunch in case we got hungry, though of course we were to come back home again to a big dinner in the middle of the day, just like Xmas or New Year’s Day. Mother packed it all up in a basket for us ready to go in the motor.
Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there hardly seemed as much room in it as we had supposed.
Father said not to mind him, he said that he could just as well stay home; and that he was sure that he could put in the time working in the garden; he said that we were not to let the fact of his not having had a real holiday for three years stand in our way; he wanted us to go right ahead and be happy and have a big day.
But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would gladly have stayed and helped the maid get dinner, only it seemed such a pity to, on a lovely day like this, having their new hats. But they both said that Mother had only to say the word, and they’d gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, hut unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in getting the dinner.
So in the end it was decided that Mother would stay home and just have a lovely restful day round the house, and get the dinner. It turned out anyway that Mother doesn’t care for fishing, and also it was just a little bit cold and fresh out of doors, though it was lovely and sunny, and Father was rather afraid that Mother might take cold if she came.
So we all drove away with three cheers for Mother, and Father waved his hand back to her every few minutes till he hit his hand on the back edge of the car, and then said that he didn’t think that Mother could see us any longer.
Well, — we had the loveliest day up among the hills that you could possibly imagine.
It was quite late when we got back, nearly seven o’clock in the evening, but Mother had guessed that we would be late, so she had kept back the dinner so as to have it just nicely ready and hot for us. Only first she had to get towels and soap for Father and clean things for him to put on, because he always gets so messed up with fishing, and that kept Mother busy for a little while, that and helping the girls get ready.
But at last everything was ready, and we sat down to the grandest kind of dinner — roast turkey and all sorts of things like on Xmas Day. Mother had to get up and down a good bit during the meal fetching things back and forward.
The dinner lasted a long while, and was great fun, and when it was over all of us wanted to help clear the things up and wash the dishes, only Mother said that she would really much rather do it, and so we let her, because we wanted just for once to humour her.
It was quite late, when it was all over, and when we all kissed Mother before going to bed, she said it had been the most wonderful day in her life, and I think there were tears in her eyes. So we all felt awfully repaid for all that we had done.
