Ouzels and starlings

Two enamoured on the bank of lake sat somehow. Suddenly over them two birds have sonorously started singing. The young man and the girl have listened.

- What wonderful voice at these birdies! - the girl has told.

- Your voice is even more gentle, - the young man has answered. - no ouzels will be compared to you.

- You wished to tell starlings, - the truth?

- Certainly, starlings if so it is pleasant to you more, the young man-has told.

Unless somebody on its place would answer differently?

- No, - the girl has quickly told. - time you say, that it is ouzels, start up there will be ouzels.

Here they have looked against each other and have forgotten both about ouzels, and about starlings, and about all on light.

Soon enamoured have got married and have begun to live smothering in soul.

There has passed exactly year from the date of their wedding. For the sake of such holiday the wife has decided to bake a pie. While the pie was baked, the husband has gone to drink a grape wine glass-other. But hardly it has reached a wine bench as towards to it the old man has got, all covered with cages in which on thin poles multi-coloured birds jumped.

<Here by the way, - the husband has thought. - I will please the wife, the purchase to it a gift>.

And he has shouted:

- Hey, the bird's owner what you ask for pair birdies in a green cage?

Birdies cost four сольди. But the seller has answered:

- Six сольди, the signor. On that it also was the seller.

- Two сольди, - the husband has told.

On that it also was the buyer. Have converged, of course, on four.

- Take, the signor, these birdies will bring happiness in your house, - the seller has told, transferring a cage to the husband.

The husband took a cage, has drunk a glass of wine and has gone home.

In the meantime the wife has purely cleaned in the house and has dressed up in the best dress. Here and the pie has kept up. Only it has put it on a table as the husband has opened a door and has shouted from a threshold:

- Look, the wife whom I have brought to you a gift. Isn't that so, remarkable ouzels?

- Remarkable, - the pleased wife has answered. - only it not ouzels, and starlings.

- No, ouzels! - the husband has begun to argue.

- No, starlings! - the wife has begun to argue.

- Ouzels! - there was on the a husband.

- Starlings! Starlings! Starlings!!! - затопала feet the wife.

- Ah, time starlings so I will go I will sell my ouzels on a market! - the exasperated husband has cried.

Here the wife has seized a cage.

- Starlings not yours, but mine! You to me have presented them.

- But I have presented to you ouzels, - the husband has answered and has jerked a cage to itself.

The cage has cracked and has collapsed. Birdies have fluttered out in a window and have departed. The wife has loudly begun to cry from affliction.

- What for you have missed my starlings! - she has cried.

- If not you, ouzels would not depart! - the husband has cried.

They have reconciled only by the evening when the holiday - anniversary of their wedding has come to an end.

Three hundred sixty four days they could not нарадоваться against each other.

Year has flown by, there has come second anniversary of wedding.

This time the husband has presented to the wife a bunch of flowers. The wife has put flowers in water, has kissed the husband, and then they have sat down for a celebratory table.

- And you remember, - the wife has told smiling, - as a year ago we have quarrelled because of a real trifle - because of pair starlings?

- Awfully silly quarrel, - the husband has answered. - but all the same, expensive wife there were not starlings, and ouzels.

- Starlings! - the wife has told.

- Ouzels! - the husband has told.

- No, starlings! - the wife has begun to argue.

- No, ouzels! - the husband has begun to argue. And all has begun at first.

So at them also it was led: all year live in the full consent, and anniversary of wedding will come - will by all means quarrel.

Time passes in a fairy tale quickly. The wife had wrinkles round eyes, at the husband засеребрились whisky.

In twentieth anniversary of wedding the wife has told to the husband:

- Today I will not begin to bake a pie. Put such good, we will go we will take a walk.

They have left the house and have gone where eyes look. Went, went and have come to that lake, to that place where sat twenty years ago.

- Let's have a rest? - The husband has asked.

- Let's have a rest, - the wife has answered.

And they have sat down under that tree. Suddenly over their heads two birds have started singing. Perhaps and not those, but precisely same.

- And you remember, - the wife has told, - as before our wedding we listened here with you скво., hard currency., birdies?

- Unless I can forget such wonderful дроз., дро., birdies! - the husband has answered.

They have looked against each other and have laughed. It has appeared, that is not too difficult, that the wife has conceded to the husband, and the husband has conceded to the wife.

Since then they never quarrelled, even in an anniversary of wedding.
