It was two years ago. I was on school holidays then. One day when I got up everything looked as usual, I didn’t know anything about my future, so I was quite happy. I washed, ate my breakfast and still everything was good. Two hours later it started to rain. I thought that I could watch TV. I took the TV guide, and started to read.

In two seconds I was wet and covered with mud. When I got back home I took a shower and went to

Но я не вернусь домой. Мне не нравится твоя жена." Затем птица подняла две корзины - одну большую, а другую маленькую - около старого человека и сказала: "Возьми корзину, которая тебе больше нравится и возвращайся домой." Старый человек поблагодарил птицу, взял меньшую корзину и отправился домой. Дома старый человек захотел увидеть, что находится в корзине. Он открыл корзину и обнаружил, что она полна золота. Старый человек сказал своей жене, что золото - это подарок птицы."Ты не умная! Я умнее тебя!"
