413.1 - Now that the former headmaster Mr Page will be retiring next week, his pupils will give him a gift and an album with their signatures on it. Next Thursday they will be attending a farewell dinner in his honour. After having completed forty years as a teacher, he will devote himself to gardening, which for him will be a new hobby, but as he often said, one is never too old to learn.

413.2 - After twenty-eight years as a headmaster, Mr Page will be retiring next week. His pupils not only will give him a present, but they will also give him an album with their names on it. Next Thursday they will be attending a farewell dinner in honour of a man who will have completed forty years as a teacher. Now he will devote himself to gardening. Though it will be a new hobby for him, it does not matter because as he often said, one is never too old to learn.
