THE TIME MACHINE Part I
One evening a prominent scientist, the author calls him Time Traveller, showed his friends a small model of a machine which he called the Time Machine. He said that he was going to send that model into the future.
Time Traveller said the big Time Machine was almost ready and that in a week's time he was going to travel into the future himself.
The next Thursday, which was the day when they usually gathered in the scientist's house, his friends came again, but they did not find the scientist at home. There was a note asking them to start dinner without him.
In the middle of the dinner the door of the dining-room opened, and the Time Traveller came in. He looked very tired. He explained to his friends that he had just returned from the remote future and told them the following story.
The Time Machine was ready at ten o'clock this morning. I sat down in the saddle.
I took the starting lever in one hand and the stopping lever in the other. Then I pressed the starting lever. I felt as if I were falling. Almost immediately I pressed the stopping lever. Looking round I saw the laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? Then I noticed the clock. Before I started, it had shown ten o'clock. Now it was nearly half past three.

МАШИНА ВРЕМЕНИ
Часть I
Однажды вечером выдающийся ученый (автор называет его Путешественником во времени) показал своим друзьям небольшую модель машины, которую он назвал машиной времени. Он сказал, что собирается отправить эту модель в будущее.
Путешественник во времени сказал, что большая Машина времени была почти готова и что через неделю он сам отправится в будущее.
В следующий четверг, когда они обычно собирались в доме ученого, его друзья снова пришли, но не нашли ученого дома. Там была записка с просьбой начать ужин без него.
В середине обеда дверь столовой открылась, и вошел Путешественник во времени. Он выглядел очень уставшим. Он объяснил своим друзьям, что только что вернулся из далекого будущего, и рассказал им следующую историю:
«Машина времени была готова в десять часов утра. Я сел в седло.
Я взял пусковой рычаг в одну руку и стопорный рычаг в другую. Затем я нажал на пусковой рычаг. Мне показалось, что я падаю. Почти сразу я нажал на стопорный рычаг. Оглядевшись, я увидел лабораторию точно такой же, как и раньше. Произошло ли что-нибудь? Затем я заметил часы. До начала (моего эксперимента) они показывали десять часов. Сейчас была почти половина четвертого.
