In __________________________________. [originaltext] When Mr. Finch retired,

When Mr. Finch retired, he bought a small cottage in a seaside village. The cottage was built in fifteen eighty - eight, but was in very good condition. Mr. Finch was looking forward to a quiet life, but in the summer holidays he got a shock. Hundreds of tourists came to the seaside village.  Mr. Finch’s cottage was the most interesting building in the village and many of the tourists came to see it. From morning till night there were tourists outside the cottage. They kept looking through windows and many of them even went into Mr. Finch’s garden. This was too much for Mr. Finch.
   He decided to drive the unwelcome visitors away, so he put a notice in the window. The notice said: If you want to satisfy your curiosity, come in and look round. Price: ten pence. Mr. Finch was sure that the visitors would stop coming, but he was wrong. The number of visitors increased and Mr. Finch spent every day showing them round his cottage. ’I came here to retire, not to work as a guide’ he complained. In the end, he sold the cottage and bought a small, modern house. It is an uninteresting little place and no one wants to see it. But it is certainly quiet and peaceful!
