I once bought an aquarium.
With fish.
I sit...
I dine...
I study them...
for a day...
for two days...
for a week...
The water in the aquarium is dirty...
It ought to be... changed.
But I'm too lazy to get up.
Go away.
Or I'll have to smack you...
Thank you, Vasya.
You're a true friend.
I see...
another fish has appeared.
I think... maybe it should be separated?
But I don't want... to stand up.
It's grown completely beastly.
Poor Vasya.
My only friend.
I ought to help him.
Anyway... it's too late already.
Poor... Vasya.
What's the meaning of this?
By what right?
I will prot-
I will compla-
Or maybe... I should try to reach an understanding with it?
Or it could get angry...
and completely stop feeding me.
Not bad...
I think... gills have grown...
I should... protest...
But how?
My brain has become the brain of a fish...
It's in no state to think of anything...
But maybe... I don't need to think of anything?
Why disturb the waters?
I've already gotten used... to the aquarium...
This place is also liveable.
Quiet...
Cozy...
I can adapt to anything.
As long as... nobody touches me...
As long as... they give me worms...
The End
