neverending thread

[Kirill2142]

The morning was cloudy when he locked the door and went by his usual way to the bookstore. It started to drizzle. Unfortunately, "it" wasn't the clouds, but a dog standing on the roof overhead. Suddenly he remembered that today is FRIDAY, and decided to drink some beer after work. He couldn't explain why such a strange thought had come to his mind so suddenly in the bookstore. He stood in the middle of the store, gazing at the shelves when the door bell rang behind his back. He turned round and couldn't believe his eyes. It was his father he hadn't seen for ages!
"Dimitry, my son!"-the old man cried. His face was wet with tears of joy.
"Where have you been for so many years?" mumbled Dimitry hardly moving his lips.

"Where have you been for so many years?" mumbled Dimitry hardly moving his lips. Then they both stood silently just watching each other - the father and the son.

He couldn't explain why such a strange thought had come to his mind so suddenly in the bookstore.

Actually, this is not entirely I meant. What I wanted to say in Russian sounds like this: "Он не мог объяснить, почему такая странная идея (мысль) пришла ему в голову именно в книжном магазине." Your sentence is translated like this: "Он не мог объяснить, почему такая странная идея (мысль) пришла ему в голову так внезапно в книжном магазине" It's different.

never mind Kirill! Just wait when somebody add one more phrase and write on.

Тогда лучше вот так:
He couldn't explain why such a strange thought had come to his mind right there in the bookstore.[/quote]

"Stop, catched!" - shouted the director, "Wonderful! wonderful! You have never played like this before!"

"Stop, catched!" - shouted the director, "Wonderful! wonderful! You have never played like this before!" The film was about a man, that had found treasures, hidden by his father-pirate, and the most interesting thing was that the story had been based on the real events!

Эй! Нецелесообразно включать предложение Бармалея, так как он не русский! И тем более предложение несерьёзно, как об этом говорил Лев! Давайте удалим его. И ещё: посмотрите на текст внимательнее. У вас несогласовка. Вдруг подумал о пятнице и тут же - ещё быстрее! - очутился в книжном. Исправляем ошибку?

Кирилл, кажется, закруглил историю плавно.

Почему? Он же был в книжном..и там ему пришла эта идея

[Rtyom]

Почему? Он же был в книжном..и там ему пришла эта идея

По тексту герой собрался в магазин, вышел из дома, вдруг подумал о чём-то. И, как по волшебству, ни с того ни с сего оказывается в пункте назначения и думает далее, что эта мысль ему пришла в магазине? Где тут связь? Слово "suddenly" тут получается совершенно не в кассу.

[Leof]

Давайте писать дальше - а исправим потом. Все продолжаем. Получается очень интересно!

Having thought for a few seconds, the director decided to shoot another take: Take 2!

"No way!" - Dimitry said in a disappointed tone, - "I shan't say a word before I get my coffee!!"
