Kedves Versenyzők!
Elérkeztünk a 2015/16. évi Bábel – A 4 korszak angol nyelvi verseny 3.
fordulójához!
Kalauzotok továbbra is a korábbi fordulóban megismert család: az építész apuka,
Adalbert, biokémia kutató mama, Wilhelmina, bakfis korba lépett lányuk, Eufrozina, és
a kisöccse, Martin.
Míg tavaly Eufrozina különleges iránytűjének köszönhetően a 4 égtáj épített és
természeti csodáival ismerkedhetett meg a család és a versenyzők, idén Martin
kotnyeleskedő csínytevéseinek köszönhető a kalandos időutazás.
A kis család derűsen töprengve ült a tengerparton.
„Milyen izgalmas volt! A várak! És a vikingek!” szólt Eufrozina.
“Igen! És emlékszel azokra az érdekes középkori ételekre? Húúú, meg
a fekete halál!” töprendett Martin.
Martin és Eufrozina e beszélgetés közben is az időgépet szemlélgették.
„Nézd, Eufrozi, ezt a gombot eddig nem is vettem észre! Mi lenne, ha
megnyomnám?”
„Jaj Martin, neee!”
A következő pillanatban Martin, Eufrozina, Adalbert és Wilhelmina egészen más tájon,
más időben találták magukat.
