TASK IV. Read and reproduce the following texts:
A man fell ill, and the doctor was sent for. The doctor came; and when he had found out what the matter was, he asked for a pen, ink and paper, so that he might write a prescription. But there were no such things in the house; so the man's wife went out to try to borrow them from somebody. She was a long time gone, and the doctor grew tired of waiting. He took a piece of coal, wrote the prescription with it on the door and went away. The thing was that nobody in the house could read or write Latin. So they took the door off its hinges, and carried it to the chemist's shop, and got the medicine.
