Read the text written in the Passive Voice. A Skillful Piece of Work.

Once Birmingham and Sheffield, two of the largest towns in England, began to quarrel. The quarrel started as each of them claimed to be able to produce the most skillful piece of work.A special jury was chosen to decide which city would show the greatest skill.

The day arrived. A steel spider with long thin legs was produced by representatives of Sheffield. The spider was made by the best workers. It was as small as a pea. It ran about on the table as if it were alive. A wonderful mechanism had been put in that little body. Everybody was sure that the first place would be given to Sheffield.

Then a sewing needle was laid on the table by representatives of Birmingham. A smile appeared on the lips of the jury when the needle was noticed.Then the top of the needle was screwed off and 4 needles were drawn out, one from another.

The first needle, as it was, had been the case of the four other needles. The needles were handed over to each member and examined with great interest.

Cartoon is very beautiful, stunning pictures of Atlantis, the first shots are fascinating - on the huge fish rushing Atlanta pursued an ocean wave ...very well-matched the characters! a lot of humor, a lot of philosophy - and yet very lively cartoon! it is not for children, sometimes a tragedy of the heroes need to think - when the crew dies, the doctor sends a candle in the sea, and all silent. Helga was a pity that yet to avenge his death last shot. It hurts when Milo shouted to friends, Are you also are corrupt, they are willing to kill and condemn to death? and strong point, naturally, when the team went on its side under the motto "though we love money, but not enough to give the killed an entire civilization."Of course, the Atlanteans have presented a very vibrant, colorful - white hair, dark skin ... no less colorful characters from "Team Earth" - a huge good-natured doctor, bookworm with a big heart Milo, crumpet-beautiful Audrey, who like a real mechanic repairs engines, Georgian demolition Winnie, manages to go with a cart of dynamite and light up))), telegraph, which chatters with his girlfriend when the ship sinks) and a strange French - brilliant digger - who manages to annoy all the girls and achieve their full hostility to its stunning person )))drawing technique is very beautiful - and this movie looks amazing and adults too. I shook the colors used by the artists and drawing equipment - like something like "Hercules" and the like - "The Lion King." In any case, it's a cartoon, which then with a sense of dignity you show friends and children, and to see who pulls)
