1 Two friends were camping together. Their names were Alex and
Robert. Robert was very lazy. The first evening of their holiday, Alex said to
Robert:
4 — ‘Here’s some money. Go and buy the meat.’
— ‘I’m too tired’, answered Robert. ‘You go.’ So Alex went to buy the meat.
— When he came back, he said to Robert, ‘Now, here’s the meat. Please,
7 cook it.’ But Robert replied, ‘No, I’m not good at cooking. You do it.’ So
Alex cooked the meat.
— Then Alex said to Robert, ‘Cut the bread,’ but Robert answered ‘I don’t
10 want to,’ so Alex cut the bread.
— Then he said to Robert, ‘Go and get some water, please.’
— ‘No I don’t want to get my clothes dirty,’ Robert answered, so Alex got
13 the water.
— At last Alex said, ‘the meal’s ready. Come and eat it.’
— ‘Well, I’ll do that,’ answered Robert. ‘I don’t like saying “no” all the time.’

1 To many Brazilians, favelas are dirty, violent,
frightening places. But to many foreigners, they are exciting,
interesting, and romantic. More and more outsiders are
4 coming from overseas to live, work, or just visit favelas,
observers say. In doing so they are highlighting the
difference between Brazilians who regard favelas with fear,
7 rejection, and even disgust, and foreigners who embrace
them as vibrant representations of modern Brazilian culture.
“In Brazil, no one likes favelas, no one thinks they
10 are cool”, says Marcelo Armstrong, the owner of a company
that runs daily tours to two Rio favelas. “Foreigners are more
open. There’s a certain romantic appeal to favelas.”
13 Although no figures are available on the number of
foreigners living in favelas, Mr. Armstrong says the number
is definitely rising and cites his own statistics as evidence.
16 The number of tourists taking his tours has risen from around
four per month in 1992, when he started the business, to
around 800 per month in 2007. Of those, only a dozen or so
19 are Brazilians, mostly the partners of foreign visitors.
