Translate the story:
К счастью, на чердаке был полный порядок и даже ящик шкафа был задвинут. Родители успокоились, спустились вниз и начали собираться обратно в город. Куджо и Луна побежали к своему тайнику под яблоней, чтобы забрать письма. На земле, прямо на их тайном месте сидел летучий мышонок. Он завернулся в свои крылья и тихонько поскуливал. Голодный и замерзший. Куджо и Луна поймали ему несколько мух на обед и малыш повеселел. Его нельзя было оставлять под деревом одного, так как он был слишком мал и беззащитен. Луна и Куджо решили, что если они не возьмут его с собой в город, то он погибнет.
Они подумали, что убедят родителей потом, а пока просто укутали малыша в теплый шарф и спрятали в рюкзак вместе со старыми письмами и загадочной коробкой. Они не знали, чем, кроме насекомых, кормят летучих мышей, но на всякий случай положили бутерброд с сыром.
Пока они ехали, из рюкзака не доносилось ни звука и Куджо подумал, что малыш просто наелся, согрелся и уснул. Но когда они уже подъезжали к городу, он осторожно заглянул в рюкзак и …. никого там не увидел! Что же случилось с малышом? Неужели он выполз из сумки и остался в деревне? Что с ним будет, если они его не найдут и не помогут?

Unit 3
Conditional Sentences (unreal condition of present and future)
?
We use these sentences to express imaginary situations which are contrary to facts in the present and, therefore, are unlikely to happen in the present or future.
The structure is:
Subject + would (could, might) + V0 if subject + Past Simple or Past Continuous.
If Luna’s parents weren’t so superstitious, they wouldn’t object to the pup.
We usually use were instead of was for all persons in the if-clause:
If I were him, I’d read more about bats.
The following expressions can be used instead of if: provided/providing that, as long as, suppose/supposing, etc.
Suppose you met a vampire bat, what would you do?
