Well done, Serdar! You've found 4 misprints out of 6! The answer is:

"Can you give me an example of the danger arising from kissing animals or birds, Walter?

Here's one more misprint FOR YOU and everybody:

The text below contains a mistake where ONE LETTER in a word IS MISSED. For example, if the word should be BOX it is printed as OX.

 

Ice Stars Arrive

 

"Competitors from all over the world are arriving in Ottawa, Canada, for the World Ice-Dancing Championship. Many people think the British will win because they have the strongest tea."

On this brilliantly sunny May morning, Pushkino was looking at its best... The sun was shining brightly in the cloudless sky and the birds were singing. Everyone was hurrying on his affairs without noticing natural beauty of nature. And then suddenly those who were sitting in the square next to the cinema Pobeda saw something really extraordinary... They looked at the monument to Pushkin and Krylov and couldn't believe their eyes! Our two great poets had disappeared and two ugly steel monsters were sitting in their place! One of them had a notebook on his lap and the other was drinking beer and talking on the mobile phone.But the table at the foot of the monument remainedthe same: "To Pushkin and Krylov."

At the sight of the monument an old woman who was passing by fainted, a little boy dropped his ice-cream, a little girl burst into tears and a long-haired teenager fell off his skateboard.

Suddenly a big long black limousine stopped by the square, the door opened and president Medvedev went out. He was accompanied by Zurab Tseritelly. "- Hello, Pushkino!" - he said. "I`d like to build a new monument here ",Zurab Tseritelly said. - Sure it will be the statue of your lovely mayor Mr. Lisin. Well I suppose it won`t be too big, just about 150 meters high. And of course I`ll rebuild this old monument, it`ll be Pushkin, Krylov and Mr. Medvedev in the middle. And all my statues will be created in modern style. You know, I'm famous all over the world and especially in Moscow. When Muscovites look at my monument to Peter the Great they feel such deep emotions that tears of joy run down their cheeks. Unfortunately there're some ignorant and uncultured people who don't understand my art, but you're not like them, dear friends, are you? The statue of Pushkin and Krylov was old-fashioned but now it looks terrific!" Medvedev and Lisin began to applaud cheerfully but the citizens of Pushkino kept silent.

 

It so happened that the next day an American arrived in Pushkino. He was a tipical Yankee, tall, strong, easygoing and impudent. He wanted to meet the girl here, he had known her only through internet for two years and never met really. And the first date, in the square. To be honest he had the girlfriend in New York city, this Jane, afro-american, 120 kilos, well you can imagine but now...well. He was so excited and these butterflies fluttered in his stomach. She came almost on time, just was late only for 2 hours. And she was breathtaking creature! Slim blondy with deep blue eyes lady.gif He was shocked and fell in love at once. Oh these russian girls, it`s something mysterious and crazy...

The girl whose name was Zina Skovorodkina lived in a big block of flats in the centre of Pushkino.

- Hi babe! - he said - let`s go to your place!

- Oh no way! - she blushed - there is a park near here and we can just go for a walk for a while.

- All right - he sighed.

- So, sweety, be my guide. Show me the loveliest places of interest in Pushkino,- he told her.

- All right, but first of all let's eat something. I know a place where Shaurma is sold. Have you ever tasted our russian shaurma cooked by the caring hands of boys from sunny tadzhikistan? She smiled and touched his hand gently.

Five minutes later Zina and the young American were walking hand in hand towards

Sovetskaya Square.

 

- Well would you like to go to the cinema? - she asked him.

- Oh it would be great! But I don`t understand Russian.

- Hmm... it`s never mind - she whispered and stared at him.

- How stupid I`m - he thought.

A film was quite boring but he didn`t look at the screen, as a matter of fact he didn`t see anything at all. It was dark here and she smelled so sweet and her hair tickled his face.

Do you say "Nine and five IS thirteen" or "Nine and five ARE thirteen"?

 

I think this riddle with the catch, possible there are both answers.

Hearing this he felt the cold sweat running down his back… His armpits were sweating too. In fact, he was sweating like a pig. But the more he looked at her tits, the weaker he became… She slightly licked her upper lip with the tip of her pink tongue. He couldn’t help it.

- Yes, everything for you, my queen, - he muttered.
