متن انگلیسی درس

Lizzie Hi again, I’m Lizzie. Let’s continue our story about a sculptor called Pygmalion who has made a statue of what he thinks is his perfect woman.

Although he knows she is only made of ivory, he throws his arms round her and he buys her gifts too and then he lays her on his bed.

Anyway, he then goes round to a festival that is taking place in the village to worship goddess Aphrodite. He prays to her that his statue will come to life. Aphrodite goes to see this statue and is flattered to find that it almost looks like her - in a roundabout kind of way .

Back at the festival, Pygmalion comes round to the idea that perhaps his ivory statue will never love him back but all of a sudden flames from a fire jump out at him and he takes this as a sign that maybe his prayers have been answered. With all his energy, he sprints back to his house and smothers his statue with kisses - and guess what? She’s alive - her skin is smooth and warm and her lips are soft and very kissable. Pygmalion has found his perfect woman and he calls her Galatea.

It’s a strange kind of love story but it ends happily. Pygmalion gives thanks to Aphrodite. And just to round off the story, you might like to know that later he marries his ivory girlfriend and they have two children - real ones of course.

I hope you enjoyed that story and I’ll see you for another one soon.
