Hello, my dear friends!
I'm glad to meet you.
In
these issues you'll find jokes, amusing cases and short stories.
The long story.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Let me roam at liberty."
Now, Ivan thought this all right,
Found her shelter for the night
In an empty shepherd's shack;
O'er its door he hung a sack;
Then he homeward made his way
With the early light of day,
Singing merrily: "Heigh-ho,
Vanya would a-wooing go."
See him near his home once more,
Knocking at the cottage door,
Calling out with might and main,
Till the rafters rang again.
You'd have sworn, to hear him she
That a fire had broken out.
Up his brothers from their beds
Jumped in fright, and scratched the
Stammering: "Who knocks so loud
"Me, the Fool," came answer prou
So they opened up the door,
Let him in, and roundly swore
At Ivan-how did he dare
Give his brothers such a scare?
But Ivan, with heedless air,
Climbed up on the oven, where,
Lying down in all his clothes,
He related, at repose,
His adventures-while, amazed,
Open-mouthed, his hearers gazed.
"Well, I didn't sleep all night,
Counting all the stars so bright.
Possibly, the moon was there,
Though I really wouldn't swear-
Satan suddenly appeared,
Bristling whiskers, bushy beard,
Cat-like face and saucer eyes;
I stared on in stark surprise
As that devil, with his tail,
Whipped the wheat as with a flail.
You know, joking's not my line-
So I jumped right on his spine.
He led me a dance, look you-
Nearly broke my head in two.
But I'm not a fool-not quite-
Like a vice, I held him tight.
How that cunning rascal tried!
Finally, he begged and cried:
'Spare my life this once, please do!
For twelve months, I promise you
Not to break a single law,
Christian folks to plague no more.'
I believed him on the spot-
Off the devil's back I got."
And Ivan then said no more-
Yawned and soon began to snore,
While his brothers, though they tried
Not to, laughed until they cried,
Laughing at that booby's joke-
You'd have thought that they would choke!
Father, too, could not refrain-
Laughed, and cried, and laughed again,
Though it is a sin, they say,
For old men to laugh that way.
