There Once Were Thoughts
In a small fairy town on a large fairy tree there once lived thoughts.
Yes, yes, do not be surprised, real thoughts.
The very ones that every morning, as soon as we wake up, come to us people.
Here is a clever thought.
She lived here with her sisters:
A stupid thought.
A cheerful one,
A wicked thought,
A kind one,
And just imagine, even an odd thought.
Why was it called odd?
Because it was thanks to her eccentricities that the most incredible incidents would happen in the town.
At present she was looking for a mysterious, unknown to anyone, craftsman.
- Haha, she's really an oddball. How does she even have the patience to search for this master?
- Maybe he does not exist at all? Haha. She would do better to sing, play, and have fun. Haha.
- I would like her this once to be lucky. And finally encounter this master craftsman.
- And I find it all very annoying! And anyway, how long can we tolerate her eccentricities?
- Yes, and who needs them? What good are they?
- In one magical primer it says: matsirkus - putsirkus.
- Which means that sometimes the benefit can't be seen immediately.
- But one thing is for sure, if our sister finds her master, then something extraordinary will happen in the city.
The sister-thoughts didn't really live in harmony. Well, how could they be friends?
The evil thought tried only to cause pain and grief.
The clever thought on the contrary tried to help everybody.
The cheerful thought brought joy and merriment.
And in any place visited by the kind one, all troubles would disappear.
The silly thought very often awarded the townspeople with bruises and bumps.
But most frustrating was that the stupid one was always followed by the evil one.
They, as it happens, were great friends.
On this evening, as soon as the last lights were extinguished, the thoughts, as always, returned home.
Only the odd thought was not with them.
And when the dawn came and the city woke up, the thoughts found their odd sister...
had, after all, found her unusual craftsman, who had built this astonishing fountain.
- How lovely! A delight! A real delight!
- Now everyone will sing, dance and have fun. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
- Humdrum! There's nothing interesting here! From this merriment everyone will only get headaches!
- But I'm so happy for our oddball sister. She finally got lucky.
- What's the use of that?
- As you can see, I was proven right. Our city now is now celebrating.
- In another magical primer it says: korzinus - ospirinus - koh.
- Which means that fairy tales, fireworks, fountains, and multicolored lollipops were all invented by oddballs.
Well, it all happened exactly as suggested by the clever thought.
The city had a great celebration. And it was so much fun that even the sister-thoughts...
forgot about their quarrels for a while, and rejoiced with the townsmen.
