Lesson 344

unhealthy = not healthy

wander = hike = walk in the forest and mountains

high = big

the Alps = highest and biggest mountains in Europe

to point at with fingers = show something

It’s alike. = It’s like that.

3) Mountains are not flat

John working in an office liked to walk a lot. He always said that sitting in a chair for eight hours every day, and then sitting at home in the evening, are very unhealthy. Every summer going on vacation he took a train somewhere and wandered for five or six hours a day. Once in spring, visiting a friend he showed him a map, and said, "You've been to Switzerland and hiking in the Alps, Tom. I'm going there in August, and on Saturday and Sunday the first week I want to go from there to there." He pointed at two places on the map with his finger. "Wait a minute, John," Tom answered. "In two days? Your map is flat, but the mountains on your map are not alike!"
