Once a rich Englishwoman called Mrs Johnson decided to have a birthday party. She invited a lot of guests and a singer. The singer was poor, but he had a very good voice. The singer got to Mrs Johnson's house at exactly six o'clock as he had been asked to do, but when he went in, he saw through a door that the dining-room was already full of guests, who were sitting round a big table in the middle of the room. The guests were eating, joking, laughing, and talking loudly. Mrs Johnson came out to him, and he thought she was going to ask him to join them, when she said, "We're glad, sir, that you have come. You will be singing after dinner, I'll call you as soon as we're ready to listen to you. Now will you go into the kitchen and have dinner, too, please?"

The singer was very angry, but said nothing. At first he wanted to leave Mrs Johnson's house at once, but then he changed his mind and decided to stay and teach her and her rich guests a good lesson. When the singer went into the kitchen, the servants were having dinner, too. He joined them. After dinner, the singer thanked everybody and said, "Well, now I'm going to sing to you, my good friends." And he sang them some beautiful songs.

Soon Mrs Johnson called the singer.

"Well, sir, we're ready."

"Ready?" asked the singer. "What are you ready for?"

"To listen to you," said Mrs Johnson in an angry voice.

"Listen to me? But I have already sung, and I'm afraid I shan't be able to sing any more tonight."

"Where did you sing?"

"In the kitchen. I always sing for those I have dinner with."

When crossing the English channel from continental Europe to Dover, England, the first sight you see the famous White cliffs of Dover. They are almost 70 million years old and have been in existence since dinosaurs were roaming the earth. Their characteristic white color is due to the fact that they are made of chalk. They are believed to grow 15 meters every million years and are now around 250 meters high.

Due to their strategic location they have been used to help defend the coast from invasion throughout England’s history. During the time of Napoleon, tunnels were dug into the cliffs so that soldiers could attack the invading French armies. These tunnels were used as recently as World War II. There are many shipwrecks to be found in the bays and along the beaches below the cliffs because the sea is exceptionally rough along this stretch of the coast.

What’s more, there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. You can visit one of Dover’s many spectacular heritage castles or even the Roman fort nearby Richborough. The white Cliffs themselves are an excellent place for hiking, and offer stunning views of one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

On a clear day, you can even see the French coastline. A Visit to England would not be complete without a stopover at this magnificent natural feature.
