The Express Sketch of the fables of the elephant and the pug about the 600 - year history
Ivan Krylov turned on the radio. "Now it is fashionable to create radio performances in the style of Impressionists." "The Donut hole in the style of Mussorgsky". "How will look my fable "The Elephant and the Pug"?".
The words of the radio host were heard: "The Fable "The Elephant and the Pug"! On the material "600 years of the relations of the Sea and the Land!""..
The radio statement of the fable was original. The elephant made important sounds, and the pug actively barked.
But about it it has been written in the fable!
The originality consisted in another.
Right in the course of the radio show the elephant was turning into the pug, and the pug - into the elephant. And who a moment ago was making important sounds, began to barking shrilly. On the contrary, who was barking, was taking an important form.
"Why Aleksey Mikhailovich was called "quietest" ["Тишайшим"] [Alexis I The Quietest]? Because he had one of the most effective intelligence services".
"Originally!" "The exceptional historical statement!" - Ivan Andreevich has thought and has taken a headache pill. "For some reason haven't mentioned "reunion of Ukraine with Russia" ..."
The pug something has barked about the Crimean war (1853-1856), but in studio, probably, the system of directives is organized. The theme of development hasn't received.
Ivan Andreevich did not hear about Tehran, Yalta, Potsdam. The Krylov guilty: he skipped the words linked with theme?? Or - execution of a hole from a bagel for good money?
Well, the mentioning the formation of the border along the Amur river from them and no one was waiting. The pug for this subject is the small being, a pettiness, and the elephant may to push down fragile objects in a crockery shop ...
Perhaps they will mention something about the cooperation during Napoleonic wars? During World War I? Central Asia is not an easy question ...
Some fables about Golitsyn. "Actually, it is difficult to object to Vasily Vasilyevich's advantages. He was one of the most educated people of the time and he had rich library ..."
The insignificant, imperceptible or third-rate facts were moving forward with such important look that began to look as elementary nonsense. The plausibility had to be created and enforced by the additional dog nonsense, turd.
From radio receiver came the shrill dog's bark, the nonsenses, stating out by the respectable voice of elephant.
The pleasant thought has come: "Fables by Krylov became "... book of wisdom of the people" (Gogol N. V., The Collection of works., Vol. 6, 1953, page 166 [in russian])".
At last, the execution of the fable has approached the end.
'... я, совсем без драки,
Могу попасть в большие забияки.
Пускай же говорят собаки:
"Ай, Моська! знать, она сильна,
Что лает на Слона!"
"... I, absolutely without a fight,
May to be accepted into the circle of big warriors.
Let dogs speak:
"Ouch, Pug! seems, she is strong,
What barks at the Elephant!"
Krylov has switched off radio and has begun to read the biography of Chekhov.
