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.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Heedless of the nettle stings.
Thrice they fell, and thrice they rose,
Bruised their eyes and tore their cloth
Ere they reached the shepherd's shad
Rubbing one another's back.
Here, two chargers met their gaze-
Snorting, ruby eyes ablaze,
Silken tails in ringlets streaming,
Golden in the shadows gleaming;
And their hoofs, of diamonds made,
Were with monster pearls inlaid.
Yes, it cannot be denied-
Horses fit for tsars to ride.
And they nearly burst from spleen
As they stared upon this scene;
Th'eldest, gaping, scratched his head-
"Where'd he get them from?" he said.
"This just proves the ancient rule-
Fortune favours but the fool.
Though you'd rack your brains, you'd n
Raise a ruble, though you're clever.
Say, Gavrilo-let's go down,
Sunday, to the fair in town,
Sell them to the Boyards there;
We will share the takings square-
And, with money, you'll agree
We can have a merry spree,
Once we set our pockets jingling,
While not e'en the slightest inkling
Of his horses' whereabout
Will he have, that foolish lout.
Let him seek them high and low-
Strike the bargain, brother-so!"
Said and done-and here, each brothf
Crossed himself and kissed the othel
They went home in glee together
Chatting, in the highest feather,
Of the steeds, their future feast,
And that little wonder beast.
