START LEARNING RUSSIAN with this easy story for beginners - A2 level - Time travel

One weekend I decided to take a walk around the city. I went to an antique shop. There were a lot of interesting things there. Old books, watches, paintings. My attention was drawn to pocket watches. They were gold, with beautiful patterns. I took the watch in my hand and asked the seller, how much these watches cost. The seller looked at me carefully and said, these watches are unusual. There are many legends associated with them. They say they can transfer a person to the past. I smiled. Of course, I didn't believe them. It seemed like just a fairy tale. I liked the watches, and I bought them. At home, I looked at the watches for a long time. I opened the watch and saw arrows. I became curious. I carefully turned the arrow back. Suddenly, everything around me was spinning. I felt like the floor was disappearing under my feet. After a few seconds, I found myself on the street. But something was wrong. The houses around were old, and people were dressed in old-fashioned clothes. There were no cars on the street, only horses and carts. What's going on? Where am I? I whispered. I approached an elderly woman and asked, Excuse me, what year is it now? The woman was surprised and replied, It's 1923 now. I froze in surprise. I really got into the past. The watches turned out to be magical. I quickly realized that my clothes attracted attention. People looked at me with distrust. I had to hide somehow. I went to the side of the park and sat down on a bench. I took out the watch and tried to turn the arrows forward again. But nothing happened. The watch didn't work. I tried to go to the clothing store to buy something suitable, but I didn't have any local money. The seller asked me to leave. I wandered the streets and didn't know what to do. Suddenly I noticed a boy sitting on a porch and eating an apple. You don't seem to be from here, he said, looking at me carefully. You can say that, I replied. The boy's name was Karl. He offered to help me. He brought me to his grandfather, who was a watchmaker. I told him about the watches, but they didn't believe me. However, my grandfather agreed to look at them. These watches are very rare, he said. Perhaps they work according to special rules. We tried for a long time to understand how to activate the watch again. My grandfather suggested that we should repeat the moment when I turned the arrow for the first time. I returned to the place where I felt in the past. I slowly turned the arrow forward. Everything around me was busy again. When I opened my eyes, I was already in my time. I will remember this adventure forever. Now I look at old things differently. Who knows what other secrets they can hide. One weekend I decided to take a walk around the city. I went to the antique shop. There were a lot of interesting things there.
