up with pride that his eyes cant even light on anymore! added the rabbit.
Oho, the lion said. Didnt you mention me to him?
Yes, indeed, the rabbit replied. But it would have been better if I hadnt. When I described
how strong you were, he just sneered and said dreadfully rude things. He even went so far as to say
that he wouldnt take you for his attendant!
The lion flew into a rage and roared, Where is he? Where is he?
Soon the rabbit took the lion a hill and, not going to near herself, pointed to a well from a
distance, and said,He is down there, in the well.

Is there any city in Europe, or else, like Prague? There has been a city here for over a
thousand years, and now 2.250.000 people live here. It is most famous for its Gothic and Baroque
building styles. Old Town Square, with its wonderful clock, the Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle on
the hill above the river are just a few of Pragues famous attractions.
Getting around Prague is easy by tram or underground train but its also a pedestrians
dream because much of the old quarter and many of the streets and lanes have little or no traffic.
The medieval center is Prague castle and St Vitus Cathedral. An evening view of these illuminated
landmarks is one of the most memorable sights in Europe. Wenceslas Square is in the heart of
modern Prague.
Visiting Prague today, you immediately notice the lively atmosphere. The city can be
crowded during the hot summer months, but it is delight to visit any time of the year, even in the
snowy cold of winter. In fact, tourism makes the largest contribution to Pragues economy. Classical
concerts take place all through the year, though the biggest event is the Prague Spring International
Music Festival in May and early June. Theatre also has a special place in the life of the city.
The suburbs are like many in Eastern Europe with tall sky crappers and some light
industry, but you are very quickly in the sleepy villages and gentle hills of Bohemia. Many people
say Prague reminds them of Vienna or Budapest. But in fact, Prague is unique. Theres nowhere
quite like it.
