Roads go ever on and on

Roads go ever ever on,
Over the rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea,
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

2) Transcribe the passage in International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)

An old man lived in the village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The
whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in
a bad mood.

The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the more poisonous were his words.
People avoided him, because his misfortune became contagious. It was even unnatural and
insulting to be happy next to him.
