Fish: large and not that large, constantly chatting, opening their mouths wide, and each time sincerely amazed when people for some reason throw coins into the outdoor Aquarium pool. I also could not resist and threw a metal ten cent into the water. It fell next to the puzzled turtle, which flinched, blinked or winked at me with the lower eyelid, and then, as if nothing had happened, slowly rubbed its eye with its front paw…

В«Wow!В» I thought, В«can you do that!В»

As soon as I got out to breathe some fresh air, I noticed Doremi sitting on the entrance steps and waiting for someone, constantly looking at his favorite Swiss Mondaine[5 - Mondaine – recognizable original hands and the famous red second hand are the main elements of the «Official Swiss Railways Watch», a collection mat brought the brand worldwide fame.

Our rector repeats the same thing…

В«If you finish your third year, you can consider yourself PhDs!В»

Taska… And Epicurus

February 23, 2014.

Sunday.

Lord, why didn't you give me Taska's brains?

Or rather, why didn't you divide our brains equally?

My dear little sister never gets distracted by all the fake stuff and does not even try to please the whole of humanity…

Forget humanity! Does she even love herself?

Well, no. She probably still loves herself, but does not care about how she looks, and what others think of her. As for me, a broken nail is a tragedy of the day! I can cry all evening because of a strange look or a seemingly cold intonation of my husband or boss.

Taska is reasonable.

Moreover, she reasons sensibly. And at some point, she can refuse everything, because she believes that these are not the options. And then she patiently waits for the stars to come together in the correct sequence to promise her something for which, perhaps, it was worth waiting so long… After all, if you think about it, we all feel different.
