Hello, My Dear Friends!💚
Известна ли вам старая легенда о том, как чертополох стал символом Шотландии?🏴
So listen!🧏🏻♀️
The story goes that an invading Norse army planned to ambush the Scots by slaughtering them while they slept.
This attack required as much stealth as possible so the invaders attacked barefoot.
Unfortunately for them, one of the attackers stepped on a thistle, and his cries of pain were enough to wake the sleeping Scotsmen, who charged into battle and defeated their enemies.
And so the thistle was named The Flower of Scotland.
Here is the vocabulary😉:
• invade - захватывать, нападать⚔️
• stealth - хитрость, уловка😈
• ambush - устраивать засаду🌳
• slaughter - резать, заколоть🗡
• defeat - одолеть, победить🛡
• barefoot - босиком🦶
Легенды - отличный способ изучать язык через историю и культуру англоговорящего народа.
