Chapter 25 siblings
1. New Year's pine tree①
Children, I am fully forty years old this year.That is to say, I have seen the New Year pine tree forty times.There are so many times!
Of course, for the first three years of my life, I didn't know what a New Year's pine tree was.At that time, I was probably still in my mother's arms, with two small black eyes rolling around, even looking at the beautifully dressed little tree without any interest.
When I was five years old, I already knew exactly what happened to the New Year's pine tree.
I look forward to this happy festival day and night, and sometimes I secretly watch my mother decorate the New Year's pine tree through the crack of the door.
My sister Liao Liya was seven years old at the time, she was a very lively little girl.
Once she said to me: "Minka, mother has gone to the kitchen, let's go to the room where the New Year's pine trees are and see what's going on there."
My sister Liao Liya and I walked into that room and took a look, hey, the New Year's pine tree inside is so beautiful!Presents were piled up under the pine tree, and on the tree hung colorful beads, little flags, little lamps, golden walnuts, candied fruit and Crimean apples.
Sister Liao Liya said: "Let's not look at those gifts, it's better to eat a piece of candied fruit each."
She walked up to the New Year's pine tree and ate a piece of candied fruit hanging on the thread in one bite.
I said: "Liao Liya, you ate a piece of candied fruit, I want to eat some too."
I approached the pine tree and ate a small piece of apple.
Liao Liya said: "Minka, after you eat the apple, I will have another piece of candied fruit and a piece of candy."
Liao Liya is thin and tall, and she can reach even high places.
She stood on tiptoe and opened her mouth wide to eat the second candied fruit.
I'm so small that I can barely reach anything except an apple hanging below.
I said: "Liao Liya, you ate another piece of candied fruit, and I want to take another bite of the apple."
I grabbed the apple with both hands and gnawed a small piece.
Liao Liya said: "Since you have bitten the apple twice, I will not be impolite. I will eat the third piece of candied fruit, and I will take a firecracker and a walnut as souvenirs."
At this point, I almost didn't burst into tears because she had everything within reach.
I said to her: "Liao Lixia②, I will move the chair to the New Year's pine tree, and I will take something else besides apples."
I used two thin and small hands to drag the chair to the New Year's pine tree, but the chair fell on me.I tried to lift the chair up, but it fell down again, on top of the presents.
Liao Liya said: "Minka, you seem to have broken the doll. Really, you broke one of the doll's arms."
Just at this time, the sound of mother's footsteps sounded, so Liao Liya and I fled into another room quickly.
Liao Liya said: "Minka, now I can't guarantee that Mom won't beat you."
I really wanted to cry, but at this time the guests came, and many children came with their parents.
My mother lit a small candle on the New Year's pine tree, opened the door and said, "Everyone come in!"
The children all flocked into the room where the New Year's pine tree stood.
My mother said: "Now the children come to me in order, and I will give each of them a toy and something to eat."
The children walked up to my mother one by one.She first gave everyone a toy, and then she picked an apple, a piece of candied fruit and a piece of sugar from the New Year's pine tree and gave them to everyone.
The children were all very happy.Later, my mother picked off the apple I gnawed and said, "Liao Liya and Minka, come here. Which of you bit this apple?"
Liao Liya said, "Minka did it."
I tugged on Liao Liya's braid and said, "This is what Liao Liya taught me to do."
Mother said: "I punished Liao Liya to stand in the corner. As for Minka, I originally wanted to give you a small automatic train, but now I want to give it to other children. He should have got the apple you gnawed." .”
She took the little train and gave it to a four-year-old boy, and the boy started playing with the little train right away.
I was very angry with this kid, so I hit him on the hand with a toy, and he grinned and began to cry.His mother held him in her arms and said, "From now on, I will never bring my child to your house as a guest."
I said: "You go away, and the little train will belong to me."
The mother was surprised by my words, she said: "Your child will probably be a robber in the future."
At this time, my mother held me in her arms and said to the mother: "You are not allowed to speak of my child like that. You should take your precious son home and don't come to my house again."
The mother said, "I'll do it, it's just bad luck with you guys."
At this time, there was another mother, and the third mother said: "I am leaving too, my child does not deserve a doll with a broken arm."
My sister Liao Liya said loudly: "You can also take your precious child home, and the doll with the broken arm will belong to me."
I also cried out in my mother's arms: "You all go back to me, and all the toys will belong to us."
The guests left one after another.
My mother was surprised because there were only a few members of our family left.
Suddenly, my dad walked in.
He said: "This kind of education will entrap our children. I don't want them to fight, quarrel, and drive away guests. It will be very difficult for them to live in the world in the future, and they will be alone in old age."
Pa went to the New Year's pine tree and blew out all the candles on it, and then he said: "Go to bed quickly, and tomorrow I will give all the toys to the guests."
Children, thirty-five years have passed, but I still remember this New Year's pine tree clearly.
In thirty-five years, children, I have never once eaten someone else's apple, and never once have I bullied anyone weaker than me.So now the doctors say that I am more optimistic and kind-hearted.

2. Overshoes and ice cream
When I was a child, I loved ice cream very much.Of course, I still love ice cream now.But at that time, it was a bit special-it was almost fatal to see ice cream.
For example, when an ice cream seller pushes a trolley on the street, my head will feel dizzy, and I can't wait to taste the ice cream right away.
My sister Liao Liya also loves ice cream.
We both fantasized about growing up and eating it ice cream three times a day, maybe even four.
But at that time, we only had ice cream once in a while.My mother didn't let us eat it, she was afraid that we would get sick after catching a cold, so she didn't give us money to buy ice cream.
That summer, once Liao Liya and I played in the yard.Liao Liya picked up a galosh in a small bush, a very ordinary rubber overshoe, but it was worn out.Probably who threw it away, because it was very, very worn out.
Liao Liya picked up the overshoe and played with it on a wooden stick.As she walked up and down the yard, she kept swinging the stick above her head.
Suddenly, a rag collector passed by on the street, and he yelled: "Collect broken bottles—broken cans—rags—"
The rag collector saw Liao Liya holding a overshoe on a wooden stick, so he said to her, "Hey, little girl, do you sell overshoes?"
Liao Liya thought it was a joke, so she said to the trash collector: "Yes, I will sell it. This overshoe is worth a hundred rubles!"
The junk collector laughed and said: "No, a hundred rubles is too much for this overshoe. I'll pay you two kopeks if you like, little girl. Let's part with the nice one."
Saying this, the tattered collector took out his wallet from his pocket, gave Lioria two kopeks, stuffed our worn overshoe into his sack and left.
Liao Liya and I understood that this is not a joke, but serious.We were both very surprised.
The tattered ones have long since disappeared, but we are still standing there staring blankly at the coin.
Suddenly, an ice cream seller walked by, and he yelled, "Strawberry ice cream!"
Liao Liya and I hurried to the ice cream seller, bought two balls of ice cream for one kopek, and ate them all in one go.We began to regret that the goloshes had been sold so cheaply.
The next day, Liao Liya said to me: "Minka, today I decided to sell another overshoe to the junk collector."
I jumped up happily and said, "Liao Liya, did you find overshoes in the bush?"
Liao Liya said: "There is nothing in the grove anymore, but there are overshoes in the front room of my house. I think there are no less than fifteen of them. If we sell one, we will not be scolded."
Liao Liya ran into the house after she finished speaking.After a while, I returned to the yard with a good, almost brand-new overshoe.
"Last time we sold the galoshes that were in such a state of disrepair that they gave us two kopecks. This one is quite new, and he probably paid us no less than a ruble. Guess." Look how much ice cream you can buy with that money."
We waited for a full hour for the tatters to be picked up, and finally it finally arrived.Leo Liya said to me: "Minka, this time you go to sell overshoes, you are a man, you go and talk to the junk collector. Otherwise he will only give me two kopecks, which is too little for us."
I picked up the galoshes on the stick and started waving them over my head.
The tattered collector approached the yard and asked, "Why, are you going to sell overshoes again?"
My voice was so soft that I could hardly hear it clearly: "It's for sale."
The tattered collector looked at the overshoes carefully, and said: "What a pity, my boy, that you always sell only one overshoe. I will pay you five kopeks for this one. If you sold me two at once , you will get twenty kopecks, or even thirty kopecks. They only want two galoshes, and then the price will skyrocket."
Liao Liya said to me: "Minka, go home quickly and get another overshoe from the front room."
I ran home and in a short while brought a overshoe of a very large size.
The tattered collector put the two overshoes side by side on the grass, sighed sadly and said, "No, little friend! I am so disappointed in your business. One overshoe is for women, and the other is for men's feet." I took them off. Think for yourselves, what am I going to do with these two shoes? I would have paid five kopecks for each shoe, but they are not worth that much together, and it would be a bad thing. You can get four kopecks for these two galoshes, and we can part amicably."
Liao Liya wanted to go home and get overshoes again, but at this moment she heard her mother's voice, which was telling us to go back and bid farewell to her guests.Seeing that we were flustered, the junk collector said, "Boys, you could get four kopeks for these two galoshes, but now you can only get three kopecks. I wasted my time talking to you, so I will deduct one kopek." .”
The tattered one gave Liao Liya three kopek coins, hid the overshoes in the sack and left.
Liao Liya and I ran home quickly and began to say goodbye to my mother's guests—Aunt Olya and Uncle Kolya.They were already wearing coats in the front room.
Suddenly Aunt Olya said: "How strange! One of my overshoes is here, under the coat rack, and another one is missing!"
Liao Liya and I both turned pale and stood there motionless.
Aunt Olia said: "I remember clearly that I wore two galoshes when I came here, but now there is only one left, and the other one has gone somewhere."
Uncle Kolya was also looking for his galoshes, and he said: "What a strange thing! I also remember exactly that I came with two galoshes, but my other galosh was missing too."
Liao Liya was so frightened at these words that she let go of the money, and three kopek coins fell to the floor with a clatter.
Dad was also seeing off the guests. He asked, "Liao Liya, where did you get the money?"
Liao Liya made a lot of nonsense, but her father said, "There is nothing worse than lying!"
Liao Liya began to cry, and I cried too.We said, "Two galoshes were sold to a junk collector, and I plan to buy ice cream."
Dad said: "Your behavior is worse than lying!"
Hearing that the galoshes were sold to the junk collectors, Aunt Olya's face turned pale, and she lost her hands and feet.Uncle Kolya panicked too, and he put his hand on his chest.But Dad said to them: "Don't panic, Aunt Olya and Uncle Kolya, I know what to do so that you don't lose your goloshes. I sold all Leolya's and Minka's toys to the collector. The tattered ones will be used to buy new overshoes for you.”
When Liao Liya and I heard the verdict, we burst into tears.But my father said: "The matter is not over yet. I will not allow Liao Liya and Minka to eat ice cream for two years. After two years, they can eat ice cream. But every time they eat ice cream, let them think about this sad thing. Let them think about it every time, do they eat ice cream with a clear conscience."
Dad confiscated all our toys that day.He called the junk collector and sold him all our stuff.With the money my father bought Aunt Olya and Uncle Kolya overshoes.
Children, many years have passed since then.In the first two years, Liao Liya and I really didn’t eat ice cream once, and we only started to eat ice cream later. Every time we eat, we always remember what we did.
Even now, kids, I'm a grown man, even an old man, and now every time I eat ice cream, I always feel something stuck in my throat, which is very uncomfortable.At times like these, I do what I was used to as a child: "Am I eating this ice cream with a clear conscience? Have I ever lied or offended anyone?"
Many, many people eat ice cream now, because we have many large factories specializing in the production of this delicious food.
Thousands of people eat ice cream.Children, I really hope that when everyone eats ice cream, everyone will think about the same problem that I was thinking about while eating ice cream.
3. Grandma's gift
I have a grandma who loves me very much.
She visits my house every month, giving us all kinds of toys and bringing us a basket full of snacks.
She asked me to choose my favorite from all kinds of dim sum.
Grandma doesn't like my sister Liao Liya very much, and she doesn't let her pick and choose, she just picks one and stuffs it for her.Because of this incident, my sister Liao Liya cried every time. She blamed her grandma, but she blamed me even more.
One sunny summer day, my grandma came to my house.
When she reached the door she walked across the yard, carrying a basket of pastries in one hand and a small bag in the other.
Liao Liya and I ran up to greet grandma.We were sad to find that grandma brought us nothing but snacks this time.
My sister Liao Liya asked her grandma, "Grandma, did you really not bring us anything today except snacks?"
My grandma was very angry with Liao Liya, and she replied: "I brought it, but I will not give it to the uneducated person who begs openly. The one who can get this gift is the polite Minka. He is the most obedient child in the world."
Then she asked me to hold out my fingers, and she put ten new coins of ten kopecks in the palm of my hand.
I stood there stupidly, happily looking at the ten brand new coins in my hand.Liao Liya's eyes were also fixed on these coins, she didn't say a word, only her two small eyes gleamed fiercely.
Grandma looked at me appreciatively and went to drink tea.
At this time, Liao Liya slapped my hand from below fiercely, and my ten coins jumped up on the palm of my hand, and all rolled into the grass and the ditch.
I burst into tears, and the adults-father, mother, and grandma hurriedly leaned over to find the coins that fell on the ground.
All but one coin were found.So the grandmother said: "You see, I didn't give Liolika a penny, and I did it perfectly! She is so jealous! She thinks that if we don't give her, then Minka won't even think about it." Come on! Where is the rascal now?"
In order to avoid being beaten, Liao Liya had already climbed a tree.She was sitting on the tree and sticking out her tongue, making faces at my grandma and me.
The neighbor's kid, Pavrik, wanted to use a slingshot to drive Liao Liya from the tree, but his grandmother forbade him to do so, because Liao Liya might fall and break her leg.Grandma was not going to do such an excessive thing, she wanted to take the slingshot from the little boy's hand.
The child was very angry with everyone, and of course he was also angry with grandma, so he shot her with a slingshot from a distance.
Grandma groaned and said, "Look, I took a slingshot because of this naughty ghost. No, in order to prevent such things from happening again, I will never come to your place again. It is best in the future It's up to you to bring my lovely little grandson to me, and every time I have to give him a gift, I just want to be angry with Liorika."
Dad said: "Okay, I will bring him, but Mom, you praised Minka for nothing! Of course Liao Liya is wrong, but Minka may not be the best child in the world. If he sees his sister's hands I don’t have any money in the house, so I should give her a few, this is the best child in the world, so that he won’t make his sister angry and jealous.”
Liao Liya sat on the tree and said: "The best grandma in the world should give gifts to every child, not just to Minka, who keeps silent because he is stupid or tricky, but there are gifts and snacks in hand."
Grandma no longer wants to stay in the yard.
The adults all went to drink tea on the balcony.
At this time, I said to Liao Liya: "Liao Liya, come down! I will give you two coins."
Liao Liya climbed down from the tree, and I gave her two coins.I happily went to the balcony and told the adults: "Grandma just did it right, I am the best child in the world - I just gave Liao Liya two coins."
My grandma praised me, and my mother praised me too, but my father frowned and said, "No, the best child in the world is the one who does good deeds and doesn't brag."
I ran out into the yard, found my sister, and gave her another coin, but I didn't tell the adults about it.
In this way, Liao Liya already had three coins, and later she picked up another one on the grass that hit me, making a total of four.
Liao Liya used all four coins to buy ice cream, and she ate it for two full hours, and after eating it all, there was still a little bit left.
At night she had a stomachache, and Liao Liya lay in bed for a whole week.
Children, it has been many years since this incident, but I still remember those words of my father clearly.
No, I may not have been able to be that good a person, it's hard.But, boys, I'm always working on it.
That's not bad either.

4. Don't lie
I went to school a long time ago, back in the days of liberal arts schools, when teachers wrote grades in the grade book every class they took, and they gave grades—everything from a five to a one.
When I entered the preparatory class of liberal arts school, I was very young, I was only seven years old at that time.
I was not familiar with the things in school at all. For the first three months, I was as ignorant as if I was in a fog.
Once, the teacher asked us to recite a poem:
The moon shone joyfully over the village
Shirayuki shone with blue light...
I didn't recite this poem.I didn't hear the teacher's words clearly. I didn't hear clearly because the classmate sitting behind me hit the back of my head with a book for a while, painted ink on my ears for a while, pulled my hair for a while, and when I jumped up in pain, Tuck pencils and pen holders right under my ass.For this reason, I sat in the classroom in suspense, like a fool, always wondering what new tricks the classmates sitting in the back were playing to tease me.
The next day, the teacher seemed to be deliberately embarrassing me, so he woke me up and asked me to recite the poem assigned.
Not only can I not recite this poem, I even wonder if there is such a poem in the world.
Out of fear, I didn't dare to tell the teacher that I couldn't recite the poem. I stood behind the desk at a loss, without saying a word.
At this time, my classmates began to secretly remind me of this poem, and I whispered what they told me in a low voice.
I was suffering from a chronic cold at the time and couldn't hear well in one ear, so it was difficult to pick out what they were whispering to me.
I can barely read the first few lines of the poem.But when it comes to the line "the cross under the cloud is burning like a candle", I say "the crackling under the boots is hurting like a candle."①
At this time, the students burst into laughter, and the teacher laughed too.He said, "Okay, get out your score-book! I'll give you a point."
I cried because it was the first time I scored a point and I didn't know what the consequences would be.
After school, my sister Liao Liya came to ask me to go home with me.
On the way, I took out the scoring book from my schoolbag and turned to the page with one point.
I said to Liao Liya: "Liao Liya, what do you think this is? This is the score given by my teacher for reciting the poem 'The Moon Shines Joyfully Over the Village'."
Liao Liya laughed when she saw it, and she said: "Minka, something is broken! This is the teacher who gave you a score in Chinese class. It's very bad. I doubt that Dad will still give you a small camera as a gift on your name day. Here you go, your name day is coming up in two weeks."
I said, "Then what should I do?"
Liao Liya said: "A classmate of mine pasted up the two pages with one score on the score book. Her father dipped in a lot of saliva and didn't peel it off, so he didn't see what score was recorded on it."
I said, "Liao Liya, cheating on parents—it's not good."
Liao Liya smiled and walked home.I was in a bad mood, so I turned into the park and sat down on a bench.I opened the scoring book and was terrified when I saw the score.
I sat in the park for a long time and then went home.It was only when I was near the door that I remembered that the score book was on a park bench.I turned and ran back, but my score book was gone from the park bench.I was taken aback at first, then rejoiced that I no longer had that dreaded score book with the dreaded one on it.
I went home and told my dad that my score book was lost.When Liao Liya heard my words, she smiled and winked at me.
The next day, the teacher heard that my score book was missing and sent me a new one.
I opened the new score book, hoping there was nothing bad in it, but there was still a one in the language column, and the handwriting was thicker than before.
I felt very wronged at that time, and in a fit of anger, I threw the record book behind the bookcase in our classroom.
Two days later, the teacher knew that I had lost even this score book, so he made up a new one. In addition to scoring one point for Chinese, he also scored two points for my conduct.He also said that no matter what, my dad had to look at my score book.
After school, I met Liao Liya.She said to me, "It wouldn't be a lie if we glued up the score book for a while. After a week, when you get the little camera on your name day, peel it off and show Daddy the score there."
I really wish I had a small camera, so together with Liao Liya, I pasted up the corners of that unfortunate page in the record book with paste.
In the evening Pa said, "Hey, show me the score-book! Didn't you get all the points?"
Dad opened the score book and looked at it, but he couldn't see anything wrong because the page was pasted up.
While Dad was going over my score book, someone rang the doorbell on the stairs.
A woman walked in, and she said: "I was walking in the park a few days ago, and I found a record book on a chair there. I found the address by name, and now I'm asking you, this record book Is the sub-volume lost by your son?"
Dad looked at the score book and found a point there, and he understood it all at once.
He didn't yell at me, he just said softly: "People who lie and deceive are funny and ridiculous, because sooner or later the lie will be exposed. There is no lie in the world that can deceive people."
I stood in front of Dad, my face flushed like an overcooked shrimp, and I was so ashamed of his soft words.
I said, "I still have one. The second score book has one point, and I threw it behind the bookcase at school."
Instead of being even more angry with me, Dad smiled slightly with a happy look on his face.He picked me up and kissed my cheek.
He said: "You admit this, which makes me very happy. This matter may be hidden for a long time, but you admit it, which makes me believe that you will never lie again. For this matter, I will take the little camera. For you."
After hearing these words, Liao Liya thought that her father was confused. Now he is not rewarding five points for gifts, but one point.
So Liao Liya walked up to her father and said, "Dad, I also scored two points in physics today because I didn't do well in my homework."
But Liao Liya's hopes fell through, and her father just asked her to review her homework immediately.
At night, we were about to go to bed when the doorbell rang.
This is when my teacher came to my dad, and he said to him: "Today we were cleaning the classroom, and we found your son's record book behind the bookcase. Do you like this little liar? He kept recording The fascicles were thrown away."
Dad said: "I have heard about this register from my son himself, and he has admitted it himself, so there is no reason to think that my son is a hopeless liar."
The teacher said to Dad, "Oh, that's right. You already know about it, so it's a misunderstanding. Sorry, good night."
I lay on my bed and wept bitterly when I heard these words.I swear to always tell the truth from now on.
I still do it all the time.
Alas, sometimes it is difficult to do, but in the bottom of my heart I am very happy and at ease.

Note ① In Russian, the pronunciations of "dark cloud" and "leather boots", "cross" and "crack", "burning" and "pain" are similar.
Five or thirty years later
When I was young, my parents liked me very much, they gave me many gifts.
If something happened to me, my parents piled around me with presents.
I do not know why I am often ill, often with mumps and laryngitis.
And my sister Liao Liya almost never gets sick, she is very envious that I often get sick.
She said, "Just wait and see, Minka, I'm going to be sick too. Mom and Dad will buy me everything then."
But Liao Liya didn't get sick as if deliberately against her.Only once, when she moved a chair to the fireplace, fell and scratched her forehead, she cried out "Aiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...But instead of getting the gift she was expecting, she was beaten several times by her mother, because she moved the chair to the fireplace to take her mother's watch, which was not allowed.
Once, our parents went to the theater to watch a play, Liao Liya and I stayed in the room, and I played billiards with her.
When she was playing vigorously, Liao Liya screamed and said, "Minka, I accidentally swallowed a billiard ball just now. I held it in my mouth, but then it slipped down my throat."
Although my billiards are small, they are made of metal and heavy.Liao Liya swallowed such a heavy ball, which frightened me.I cried because I thought her stomach was going to explode.
But Liao Liya said: "The explosion will not explode, but it will last a lifetime of pain. This is not like your mumps or laryngitis. It will pass in two or three days."
Liao Liya lay on the sofa and began to moan.
After a while, Mom and Dad came back, and I told them what happened.
Our parents were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They threw themselves on the sofa where Liao Liya was lying, kissed her repeatedly, and shed tears.
With tears in her eyes, her mother asked Lyorika how she felt in her stomach.Liao Liya said: "I feel the little ball rolling around inside, which makes me feel itchy. I really want to drink cocoa and eat oranges."
Dad put on his coat and said, "Take off Liao Liya's clothes, be careful! Carry her to the bed, and I'll call for a doctor right away."
Mom started to undress Liao Liya, but when she took off her dress and apron, a billiard ball suddenly fell out of the pocket of the apron and rolled under the bed.
Dad hadn't left yet, he frowned.He went to the pool table and counted the remaining pool balls. There were fifteen of them, and the sixteenth rolled under the bed.
Dad said: "Liao Liya tricked us, she doesn't have a single ball in her belly, they are all here."
The mother said: "The child is not normal, or crazy, otherwise I can't explain her behavior."
Dad never hit us, but at this moment he pulled Liao Liya's braid and said, "What do you think is going on?"
Liao Liya twitched and didn't know how to answer.
Dad said, "She wants to play tricks on us, and it's not easy to play tricks on us! She won't get any presents from me for a whole year, and she'll have to wear a year's worth of old shoes and an old blue dress, even though she I don't like to wear it very much!"
Our parents slammed the door and walked out of the room.
I looked at Liao Liya and couldn't help laughing.I said to her: "Liao Liya, it's better that you wait until you get a sore throat, and don't tell lies just to get a gift from your parents."
Please think about it, thirty years have passed!
Thirty years have passed since this little, unpleasant billiards incident.
I haven't thought about it once in all these years.
It wasn't until a while ago, when I started writing these stories, that I thought about this past event and started thinking about writing it too.In my opinion, Liao Liya didn't deceive her parents to get those gifts that she already had. It seems that she deceived them for another purpose.
When I had this idea in my head, I took the train to Simferopol, where Lioria lived.As you can imagine, Liao Liya is already an adult woman, even a little old.She has three children and her husband is a health inspector.
When I arrived in Simferopol, I asked Leo Lia: "Lio Lia, do you remember the billiard incident? Why did you do that?"
Liao Liya, a mother of three, blushed and said, "You were so cute when you were little, like a doll. Everyone liked you. But I was grown up and ugly, so I'm going to lie and say I ate billiards—I want everyone to love me as much as you love me, even as a patient."
So I said to her: "That's why I've come to Simferopol."
I kissed her, hugged her tightly, and gave her a thousand rubles.
She was so happy that she shed tears, because she understood my feelings and cherished my heart for her.
At that time, I gave her children a hundred rubles each to buy toys, and I gave her husband, the health inspector, a cigarette case of mine, with "Happiness to You" written in gold on it .
Then I gave her children thirty rubles each to watch a movie and buy sweets, and told them: "My silly children! I give you these things so that you can better remember what you have experienced at this time." feelings, let you know how to behave in the future."
The next day I drove away from Simferopol, thinking all the way that people should be loved and sympathized with, even if only good people, and should be given gifts.In this way, the person who gives the gift and the person who receives it will feel happy in their hearts.

6. Pick up objects
Once, Liao Liya and I took a candy box and put a frog and a spider in it.
We wrapped it in a clean sheet of paper, tied it securely with a nice sky blue tape, and placed the bundle on the sidewalk across from our yard, as if lost by pedestrians.
Liao Liya and I put the package under a stone pillar next to the sidewalk, then hid in the bushes in our yard, breathless with laughter, and began to wait for what would happen.
Someone came by.
When he saw our pack, he stopped in his tracks.Of course he was very happy, and even rubbed his hands triumphantly.That goes without saying: he picked up a box of candy -- something that doesn't happen very often in this world.
Liao Liya and I held our breath to see what he would do next.
The passer-by bent down, picked up the package, quickly opened it, and saw that it was a delicate box, and he was even more delighted.
The lid came off, and our frog, bored in the dark, jumped from the box to the hand of a passer-by.
The man screamed and threw the box away quickly.
At this time, Liao Liya and I lay down on the grass laughing.
我们笑得非常响，那个行人朝我们这边转过身来，他发现我们躲在篱笆后面，一下子全明白了。
他马上向篱笆这儿奔过来，迅速跳过篱笆，朝我们冲过来，准备好好教训我们一顿。
我和廖丽亚拔脚就溜。
我们尖叫着穿过院子向家里跑去。
可是我脚下绊了一跤，直挺挺地栽倒在草地上。
这时候过路人使劲扯我的耳朵。
我大叫起来，过路人又打了我两下，然后不慌不忙地从院子里出去了。
我爸爸妈妈听到叫喊声都跑出来了。
我捂着发红的耳朵，哭着走到爸爸妈妈跟前，把发生的事原原本本地告诉了他们。
我妈妈想把看门的人叫来，要他一起去追赶那个过路人并把他抓回来。
廖丽亚已经要去找看门人了，可是爸爸制止了她，对她和妈妈说：“别去叫看门人，不应该去抓那个过路人，他打了明卡当然不对，可是假如我处在他的位置，可能也会这样干的。”
妈妈听爸爸这么讲，可生他的气啦。她对他说：“你自私得可怕！”
我和廖丽亚也都怨爸爸，一句话也不跟他说。我只是揉了揉耳朵，哭起来了。廖丽卡也抽抽搭搭地哭了。于是妈妈把我抱在怀里，对爸爸说：“你不该护着那个过路人，惹得孩子们都哭了。最好向他们解释一下，他们这样做有什么不好。我自己认为没有什么，我看这是孩子们天真的游戏。”
爸爸不知道应该怎么回答，他只是说：“等到孩子们长大了，他们自己会明白，为什么这样做不好。”
时间年复一年地过去，一晃五年过去了，后来十年又过去了，最后，十二年也过去了。
过了十二年之后，我从一个小孩子成了一个十八岁的年轻大学生。
不用说，我已经忘了去回想这件事，那时候我脑子里考虑的是些更加有趣的事情。
有一次，发生了这么一件事。
春天，考试刚结束，我就到高加索去了。那时候许多大学生到了夏天都找个活干干，大家都各人走各人的。我也找了个差事——火车上的检票员。
我是个穷大学生，身边没有钱。那里可以免费得到去高加索的火车票，还可以领取工资。我就挑了这份差事。我乘车出发了。
我先到罗斯托夫市，顺路到局里领钱、证件和轧车票用的钳子。
我们那趟车晚点了，原来该早晨到，可是下午五点才到。
我把自己的箱子放到寄存处，就坐车到办事处去。
我到了那里，看门的对我说：“非常遗憾，年轻人，你来晚了，办事处已经关门了。”
“怎么会关门呢？”我说，“我今天应该领钱和证件。”
看门人说：“人都走光了，后天再来吧。”
“怎么要后天来呢？”我说，“我还是明天来吧。”
看门人说：“明天放假，办事处不上班。后天来，你该领的都会领到的。”
我走到街上，站在那里不知道该怎么办。
还得等两天时间，口袋里又没有钱——一共只剩下三个戈比。人生地不熟的，到哪儿去呢——不知道；吃什么呢——不清楚。
我跑回火车站，想从箱子里拿件衬衫或毛巾什么的到市场上去卖。火车站的人对我说：“取箱子要先付寄存费，然后可以领箱子，爱怎么处理就怎么处理。”
除了三个戈比我一无所有，我没钱付寄存费。我走到街上，心情更加失望了。
如果现在的话，不会这样一筹莫展。可那时候我不知道该怎么办，我在路上漫无目标地徘徊，心里一直在发愁。
我在街上走着，突然间在人行道上看到，这是什么东西？一只红色的小钱包。看上去不是空的，里边鼓鼓的放满了钱。
我立即站住了。我脑子里一下子闪出了许多念头，一个比一个乐观。我想象自己已经坐在小吃店里喝咖啡，后来又躺在旅馆的床上，手里拿着一大块巧克力。
我向钱包跨了一步，刚伸手去拾，正巧这时候钱包（或者只是我这样感觉罢了）往回缩了一点。
我又伸长了手，快要抓住钱包了。可是它又缩了回去，缩回去还相当远。
我不明白是怎么回事，再一次向钱包扑过去。
突然从院子里，篱笆后面，传来一阵孩子的笑声。用线牵着的钱包转眼就不见了。
我走到篱笆跟前，几个孩子笑得在地上打滚。
我准备去追赶他们，我一只手已经抓住了篱笆要跳过去，这时候我一下子想起了我童年生活中早已忘却的那个情景。
这时候我脸涨得通红。我从篱笆旁边走开了，慢慢地踱着步子，继续往前走。
孩子们，生活中什么都会过去，这两天也过去了。
傍晚，天黑以后，我到了城外，就在那边的野地里，在草地上睡着了。
早晨出太阳以后，我就起来了。用三个戈比买了一磅面包，吃完后，喝了一通凉水。直到晚上我整整一天都在街上逛来逛去。
夜里，我又到野地里过了一宿。这一次很糟糕，天下起雨来了，我浑身淋得象落汤鸡似的。
第二天大清早，我已经站在办事处大门口等开门了。
The door opened.我身上很脏，头发又蓬乱，浑身湿漉漉的，走进了办公室。
官员们不信任地看着我，起先他们不愿意给我发钱和证件，可后来还是给了。
接着我就坐火车上高加索去了。一路上，我想得很多，很多……
七、伟大的旅行家
我六岁的时候，还不知道地球是球状的。
但是斯捷普卡，我们家房东的儿子，向我解释地球是怎么回事。他说：“地球是个圆圈，要是一直往前走，就可以绕过整个地球，回到你原先出发的那个地方。”
我不相信，斯捷普卡就敲敲我的后脑勺说：“我还是带你姐姐廖丽亚，而不愿意带你去，我没有兴趣跟傻瓜蛋一起旅行。”
我非常想去旅行，就送了一把削笔刀给斯捷普卡。
斯捷普卡挺喜欢我的小刀，于是他答应带我去作环球旅行。
在菜园里，斯捷普卡召集了一次旅行者全体会议，会上他对我和廖丽亚说：“明天你们的爸爸妈妈到城里去，而我妈到河里去洗衣服以后，我们就开始干我们早就想好的事。我们始终笔直朝前走，穿过高山，越过沙漠。我们要不断向前，一直到返回这里为止，就是走一年都不怕。”
廖丽亚说：“斯捷普卡，要是我们碰上印地安人怎么办？”
“至于印地安人嘛，”斯捷普卡回答说：“我们把印地安部落俘虏过来。”
“如果有的不愿意当俘虏呢？”我胆怯地问。
“哪些人不愿意，”斯捷普卡回答说，“我们就不俘虏。”
廖丽亚说：“我从节钱罐里拿三个卢布，我想这些钱咱们够花了。”
“三个卢布我们肯定够了，我们只要买瓜籽和糖果的钱。至于吃的么，一路上我们去打小动物，在篝火上烤肉吃，它们的肉还挺嫩哩。”
斯捷普卡跑到木板棚里拿来了一只大面粉袋，我们把长途旅行所必需的东西都集中在这只口袋里。我们在口袋里装了面包飞糖和一块黄油，接着又装了各种餐具——盆子、杯子、叉子和小刀。后来我们想了想，又装上了各种颜色的铅笔、幻灯、陶瓷的洗手盆和生篝火用的放大镜。最后，还把两条被子和沙发上的一只靠垫也塞了进去。
除了这些，我们还准备了三把弹弓，一根钓鱼竿和逮热带蝴蝶的扑蝶网。
第二天，等到我们的父母进城去了，而斯捷普卡的妈妈到小河边洗衣服之后，我们就离开了彼斯基村。
我们沿大路穿过树林。
跑在最前面的是斯捷普卡的一条狗——杜齐克，接着是斯捷普卡，他头上顶着那只大口袋。跟在斯捷普卡后面的是廖丽亚，她拿着一根跳绳用的绳子。我拿了三把弹弓，一只扑蝶网和一根钓鱼竿，走在廖丽亚后面。
我们走了将近一小时。
斯捷普卡终于说了：“这口袋沉得不得了，我一个人拿不动，还是每人轮着背吧。”
于是廖丽亚接过这个口袋，把它顶在头上。
可是她顶的时间也不长，因为她没有力气了。
她把口袋往地上一扔，说：“现在让明卡顶吧。”
当他们俩把口袋放到我头上的时候，我惊叫起来，这口袋沉极了。
等到我顶着这只口袋在路上歪歪扭扭走的时候，我更加惊奇了。我被压弯了腰，还象摆钟一样晃来晃去，走了十来步以后，终于连人带袋一齐跌进了沟里。
我跌得很奇怪，先是袋子掉进了沟里，随后我的身体猛砸到这些行李上，虽然我体重很轻，可还是压碎了所有的杯子、几乎所有的盆子和一只陶瓷的洗手盆。
廖丽亚和斯捷普卡看到我在沟里手脚乱动乱划地挣扎，他们笑死了，后来他们知道我这一跤造成了很大损失，倒也没有特别生我的气。
斯捷普卡打了声口哨，把狗叫来了，他想利用狗来搬行李。可是什么结果也没有，因为杜齐克弄不明白我们要它干什么，而且我们也想不出用什么办法让杜齐克完成这件事。
杜齐克趁我们考虑的机会，咬破了口袋，一转眼就把一块黄油吃光了。
于是斯捷普卡命令大家一起抬这只口袋。
我们抓住口袋的几个角，把它抬着，但是抬着走既沉重又不方便，况且我们已经又走了两个小时。最后终于走出了树林，来到一片草地上。
这时候，斯捷普卡决定停下休息。他说：“我们每次休息或睡觉的时候，我就把我两条腿伸直，指着我们应该前进的方向。所有的大旅行家都是这么干的，这样他们就不会迷失方向。”
斯捷普卡坐到路旁，两条腿伸直指向前方。
我们打开口袋，开始吃东西。
我们开始吃面包，面包上撒了一层砂糖。
突然，几只黄蜂在我们头顶上飞来飞去。其中有一只黄蜂大约想尝尝我的糖，在我脸面上螫了一下，我的脸一会儿就肿得象馒头。我照斯捷普卡的主意，往脸上抹青苔、湿土和树叶。
在继续赶路之前，斯捷普卡把大口袋里几乎全部东西都倒了出来，所以我们再往前走的时候轻松多了。
我走在最后，一边走一边发牢骚。我的半边脸又红又疼。廖丽亚也对旅行表示不满意，她唉声叹气的，幻想着回家去，她说在家里也挺好。
但是斯捷普卡禁止我们打退堂鼓，他说：“谁要想回家，我就把他绑在树上喂蚂蚁。”
我们继续走着，但情绪很沮丧。
只有杜齐克的心情还不错。
它翘着尾巴，跑着追赶鸟雀，它汪汪的叫声为我们的旅行增添了不必要的热闹。
天终于渐渐黑了。
斯捷普卡把口袋扔在地上，我们决定在这儿宿营。
我们收集了点篝火用的树枝，斯捷普卡从口袋里取出放大镜准备点燃篝火。
可是天空中没有太阳，斯捷普卡变得垂头丧气起来，我们也发愁了。
我们吃了点面包，摸着黑躺下睡觉了。
斯捷普卡郑重其事地把脚伸向前方，说是这样明天就知道该往哪儿走。
斯捷普卡呼呼地睡着了，杜齐克鼻子里也发出鼾声。可是我和廖丽亚好久睡不着，我们害怕黑洞洞的树林和树木的喧闹。廖丽亚把头顶上的干树枝当作了蛇，吓得尖叫。
树上落下来的松球把我吓得从地上象皮球那样跳起来。
后来，我们迷迷糊糊睡着了。
我被廖丽亚揪肩膀给揪醒了。天刚亮，太阳还没有升起来。
廖丽亚悄悄对我说：“明卡，趁斯捷普卡还没有醒，让我们把他的脚倒个方向。要不然他会把我们带到非常遥远的地方。”
我们看了看斯捷普卡，他睡梦中还在乐滋滋笑着。
我和廖丽亚抓住他的两只脚，一下子把它们转到相反的方向，斯捷普卡的脑袋在地上划了个半圆。
即使这样，斯捷普卡还是没有醒过来。
他只是在睡梦中呻吟起来，两只手乱抓乱划，嘴里嘟囔说：“喂，到我这儿来……”
大约他梦见印地安人向他发动了进攻，他正在叫我们去解救他呢。
我们等待着斯捷普卡醒过来。
太阳刚露出光芒，他就醒了。他看看自己的两条腿，说：“假如我睡觉的时候两只脚随便放，那我们可就糟啦，我们会不知道该往哪儿走。可是现在靠我这两只脚，我们很清楚该往哪儿走。”
斯捷普卡用手朝我们昨天过来的那个方向一挥。
我们吃了点面包就上路了。
路是熟悉的。斯捷普卡惊讶得张开了嘴，但是他说：“环球旅行与别的旅行不同，一切都是重复的，因为地球是圆的。”
后面传来了车轮的吱吱声，有个叔叔驾着大车过来了。
斯捷普卡说：“为了加快旅行的速度和尽快地绕过地球，我们搭这辆大车倒是不错。”
我们乘在大车上很快出发了，走了不到一小时，突然，前面出现了我们的彼斯基村。
斯捷普卡惊奇得张开了嘴，说：“这个村庄完全象我们的彼斯基村，环球旅行中往往发生这种情况。”
我们到了码头时，斯捷普卡更加惊奇了。
我们从大车上爬下来。
毫无疑问——这就是我们村的码头，一艘轮船还刚才靠岸。
斯捷普卡自言自语说：“难道我们已经绕过了地球？”
廖丽亚噗嗤一声笑了，我也笑了起来。
这时候我们看到我们的爸爸妈妈和姥姥在码头上——他们刚才下了轮船。
在他们旁边，我们还看到了我们的保姆，她边哭边说着什么。
我们向爸爸妈妈奔跑过去。
爸爸妈妈一看到我们就高兴得笑起来。
保姆说：“啊呀，孩子们，我还以为昨天你们掉到河里淹死了呢。”
廖丽亚说：“要是我们昨天淹死了，我们就不会进行环球旅行了。”
妈妈大声说：“说什么啊！应该责罚他们。”
爸爸说：“没出什么事就挺好。”
姥姥折了根树枝说：“我建议把孩子们揍一顿。明卡由妈妈打，我来收拾廖丽亚。”
爸爸说：“体罚——这是老式的教育孩子的办法，这没有什么好处。就是不打他们，孩子们也明白他们做的事有多蠢。”
妈妈叹了一口气说：“我生的都是些傻孩子。他们要进行环球旅行，可是背不出乘法口诀，也不懂地理知识。这是怎么回事？”
爸爸说：“单单知道乘法口诀和地理知识还不够。要进行环球旅行，必须受五年的高等教育，应该学好全部课程，包括天文学。缺乏这些知识去作长途旅行，后果是可悲的，只能懊悔莫及。”
我们一边听爸爸说这些话，一边走到了家里，接着坐下来吃饭。爸爸妈妈听我们讲昨天的“历险记”，他们又是笑，又是惊奇。
斯捷普卡呢，被他妈妈关在澡堂里。我们伟大的旅行家在那里坐了整整一天的禁闭。
第二天，他妈把他放出来了，我们又跟他一起玩耍了，好象没有发生什么事似的。
关于杜齐克还得说几句话。
杜齐克跟在大车后面跑了整整一小时，把它累坏了。
回到家以后，它钻进木棚间，一直睡到晚上。
晚上，它吃了点东西，又睡着了，它究竟梦见了什么——永远是个谜。
我嘛，我梦见自己用弹弓打死了一只老虎。
八、金玉良言
我小时候非常喜欢跟大人坐在一起吃饭，我姐姐喜欢的程度也不比我差。
第一，饭桌上摆着各种各样的食品，这些食品对我和廖丽亚特别有吸引力。
第二，大人每次都要讲些他们生活中碰到的有趣事情，这使我和廖丽亚感到很快活。
不用说，开始几次我们在饭桌上表现得规规矩矩，后来胆子就大了。廖丽亚开始插嘴，炒豆子般地说个不停。我有时候也谈谈自己的意见。
我们的见解常常引得客人们发笑，妈妈和爸爸起初还挺满意，因为客人们发现我们很聪明也很懂事。
后来有次吃饭的时候，发生了这样一件事。
爸爸的上司开始讲述他抢救一名消防队员的不可思议的事情，这名消防队员好象在救火时煤气中毒了，而爸爸的上司把他从烈火中抢救了出来。
可能有过这样的事实，但是我和廖丽亚不喜欢这个故事。
廖丽亚好象坐在针毡上似的，她也想起了与这件事相类似的事情，不过更加有趣。她巴不得讲讲这件事，免得大家把她给忘了。
可是爸爸的上司好象有意作对似的，说话慢吞吞的，廖丽亚再也耐不住了。
她用手朝他那边一挥，说：“这算什么！我们院子里一个小女孩……”
廖丽亚没来得及把话说完，妈妈就朝她嘘了一声，爸爸严厉地瞪了她一眼。
爸爸的上司气得脸都红了，他很不高兴，因为廖丽亚说他讲的故事：“这算什么！”
他转身对我们的爸爸妈妈说：“我真不明白，你们为什么让孩子跟大人坐在一起，他们打断我说话。你们看，我讲话的思路都给打乱了。我说到哪儿啦？”
廖丽亚希望把事情平息下去，就说：“您刚才说，煤气中毒的消防队员对您说：'谢谢'。只是很奇怪，要是他已经煤气中毒，躺在那儿失去了知觉……他怎么还能开口说话？可我们院子里有个小女孩……”
廖丽亚还是没有结束自己的回忆，因此妈妈打了她一下。
客人们脸上露出了笑容，爸爸的上司气得脸更红了。
我一看事情糟了，就决定扭转局面，我对廖丽亚说：“爸爸的首长说得一点也不奇怪，要看中毒的是什么人。廖丽亚，有些中毒的消防队员虽然昏迷不醒，但他们还能说话，他们说的是胡话，他们自己也不知道说些什么，那个人说——'谢谢'，而他自己也许想说——'救命'。”
客人们大笑起来。爸爸的上司气得浑身发抖，对我的爸爸妈妈说：“你们教育孩子太差了，他们简直不让我说话——老是用各种蠢话来打断我。”
姥姥坐在桌子一端的茶炊旁，不住地用眼睛瞪着廖丽亚说：“你们看，这个家伙不但没有悔改的表示，反而狼吞虎咽地吃开了。看见了吧？她胃口还大得很呢——一人顶俩……”
“让爱生气的兜着吧！”
姥姥没听清这句话，可坐在廖丽亚旁边的爸爸的上司却以为这句话是针对他说的。
他一听就惊叫起来。
他转身对我爸爸妈妈这样说：“每次我准备上你们家作客的时候，一想起你们的孩子，我就不愿上你们家来。”
爸爸说：“孩子们的表现确实太放肆，他们辜负了我们的期望，从今以后我禁止他们跟大人一起吃饭，让他们喝完茶就回到自己房间里去。”
吃完沙丁鱼后，我和廖丽亚在客人们—片快乐的哄笑声中走开了。
从那时候起，我们有两个月的时间没有跟大人坐在一起。
两个月之后，我和廖丽亚缠着爸爸要他答应让我们跟大人一起吃饭。爸爸那天情绪特别好，他说：“好吧，我答应你们，但是我绝对不允许你们在饭桌上说话，只要你们出声说一句话——往后你们就别再想坐到饭桌上。”
这一次真美，我们跟大人一起坐在饭桌上吃晚饭了。
我们坐在那儿很安静，一句话也不说，我们知道爸爸的脾气。我们知道，如果我们再说哪怕半句话，我们的父亲以后再也不会让我们跟大人们坐一起了。
虽然禁止我和廖丽亚说话，但是我们并不感到难受。我和廖丽亚吃起来顶四个人，互相还暗暗地挤眉弄眼。我们认为大人们不许我们说话是他们吃亏了，我们不说话可以把嘴空出来，专门吃东西。
我和廖丽亚把能吃的全吃了，后来又开始吃甜食。
吃完了甜食，喝完了茶，我和廖丽亚决定再来第二遍——我们决定从头到尾再吃一遍，况且妈妈看到桌上几乎空了以后又端来了新的食物。
我拿了一只圆面包，切了一块黄油，黄油还冻着——刚从窗口外边拿进来的。
我想把冻着的黄油抹在圆面包上，可是抹不上去。黄油硬得象石头。
我把黄油挑在刀尖上，放到茶上加热。
我的茶早就喝完了，我就把黄油放在爸爸上司的茶杯上加温，因为他就坐在我旁边。
爸爸的上司正在说话，他没有注意我。
这时候，刀子在茶上面蒸热了，黄油有点儿化了。我想把它涂在圆面包上，已经开始把手从茶杯那儿缩回来。可这时候黄油突然滑了下去，掉进了茶杯里。
我吓呆了。
我睁大了眼睛看着黄油咕咚一声掉进了热茶里。
我往四下看了看，客人们谁都没发现。
只有廖丽亚看到发生了什么事。
她笑了，一会儿看看我，一会儿又看看那杯茶。
等到爸爸的上司边说边开始用匙子搅拌自己那杯茶的时候，她笑得更欢了。
他搅拌了好久，所以黄油化得一点儿都不剩。这茶现在就象一杯鸡汤。
爸爸的上司用手拿起杯子，放到自己嘴边。
虽然廖丽亚很想知道接下去会怎么样，爸爸的上司喝下这杯什锦汤后会怎么样，但她还是有点怕了。她的嘴都快张开了，要想向爸爸的上司喊一声：“别喝！”
但是她朝爸爸看了一眼，又想起不能说话，就没有吱声。
我也什么都没说，我只是把两只手往上一举，目不转睛地盯着爸爸上司的嘴巴。
这时候爸爸的上司把杯子凑到嘴边喝了一大口。
他惊奇得眼珠都突出来了，他唉呀叫了一声，从自己的座位跳了起来，张大了嘴，一把抓起餐巾，开始咳嗽和呕吐。
我爸爸和妈妈问他：“您怎么啦？”
爸爸的上司吓得一句话都说不出来。
他指指自己的嘴巴，发出牛一样的声音，不无恐惧地看了看自己的茶杯。
这时候在座的人都很有兴趣地凑过去看留在杯里的茶。
妈妈尝了尝茶，说：“别害怕，杯里漂的是平常的黄油，化在热茶里了。”
爸爸说：“是啊，但是不明白黄油怎么会掉进茶里了。喂，孩子们，说说你们观察到的情况吧。”
得到可以说话的允许，廖丽亚就说：“明卡把黄油放在茶上加温，黄油就掉下去了。”
廖丽亚说完就忍不住大声笑了。
有几位客人也笑了，有几位客人认真而仔细
