Всегда ли выполняете свои обещания? Как вы считаете, правильно ли поступила мышка?         
 
  Хитрая мышка
 Однажды, видимо, спросонок, 
 Упала Мышь в пивной бочонок
 И начала тонуть. 
 « Тону-у! Спасите кто-нибудь!» 
 Я гибну в жигулевском пиве! 
 О, как же смерть моя проста! 
 Клянусь, была бы я счастливей
 Погибнуть в лапах у Кота!» 
 « Ну что ж! – с окна сказал Котище. – 
 Я вытащить могу вас. Но… 
 Вы сразу превратитесь в пищу!» 
 « Спаси! Спаси! Иду на дно! 
 В сто раз милей мне смерть на воле! 
 Ей-ей, не так она страшна!» 
 И Мышь от смерти в алкоголе
 Была для смерти спасена. 
 Но, очутившись в страшных лапах, 
 Дрожа до самого хвоста, 
 Пивной распространяя запах, 
 Мышь улизнула от Кота. 
 « Я съем вас поздно или рано, - 
 Сказал, облизываясь, Кот, - 
 Но что склонило вас к обману? 
 Какой бессмысленный расчет? 
 Где ваше слово? Ваша часть? 
 Вы обещали дать вас съесть!» 
 « Ах, что вы? – Мышка пропищала – 
 Я это спьяна наобещала!»

Tip 62 : How to learn a language through Literature and Poetry 

Richard Floyd McCoy, arrested six months after the DB Cooper hijacking, displayed striking similarities in his own hijacking, demanding $500,000 and parachutes in a manner reminiscent of Cooper. However, McCoy's escape was short-lived as the FBI found him with cash and parachutes, leading to a 45-year prison sentence. Some believe McCoy and Cooper may be the same person. Sheridan Peterson, a Boeing employee and skilled skydiver, drew suspicion due to a physical resemblance and remained a suspect until his death in 2021. Eric Ulis, an amateur sleuth, was 98% convinced of Peterson's involvement. Another suspect, Robert Rackstraw, an army veteran and helicopter pilot, became a late '70s suspect but never explicitly denied being Cooper. However, Rackstraw's age in 1971 contradicts the reported age of Cooper at the time.
