SYMBOL OF ETERNITY. V. Speys

voice teacher to the beat of hesitation, like an automaton, coined words:

      – With my mother I was at school tomorrow! Without the mother did not dare to come! I repeat what I said?!

      – With my mother I was at school tomorrow! – I made an effort not to cry, and repeated what the teacher said.

      With wide- open eyes at me from the opposite end of the class looked girl Alex. The first time I felt sympathy in the eyes of the girl, and it has strengthened in me the internal forces, gave an impetus toward self- confidence. Oh, how I wanted at that moment to spit in the sleepy, hateful eyes, gall- pale face Nadezhda Grigorievna, presents a beautiful poetic Ukrainian language so mediocre and ridiculous. But fate constrained me. Bitterness choked throat. And I sat morally jacked up on the bench desks.

      – And now, children, write down homework. Ivan Franco learn the verse «Kamenyar». – Monotone is said Nadezhda Grigorievna.

      On the way home me caught up with Alex.

      – Look, this reptile you dragged by the hair?

      – Last night I pulled out the water from the cellar, and not enough sleep. – I explain Alex. – Mother furious, like a poisonous serpent, and here in the school of its cause. – I sighed in despair circumstances pulled hard on my head.

      – Well, if you want, I’ll go talk to your mother. – With the participation of said Alex – Maybe this will help.
