I came in, put my bag, sat at the desk and as soon as I started to unwrap the sweet, my colleagues appeared at once, just one after another. They entered as if to solve business problems, but looked askance at my sweet. I took it and hid into the bag. I did it, because there were a lot of people in the office, but I had only one sweet, and I couldn’t treat all of them to it!

My working day was over and I went home. There I had another bad luck, the guests; there were eight people on the whole. Naturally, I pretended to be glad to see them, but I didn’t let the bag with the sweet out of my hands and sat at the table with it. The guests laughed at me.

‘Why are you embracing your bag? What have you got in it? Any jewelry?’ they asked.

I answered,

‘Look! You’ve come to me and besides, you are laughing at me! What I’ve got in my bag is my business. I’ve got only one sweet, but there are a lot of you here. I’m not going to treat you to the sweet.’

You know, they turned out to be unreal friends. They got offended and left, they don’t visit me and talk to me anymore. And the sweet, what happened to the sweet? While I was carrying it in my bag, it melted and made my important business papers dirty. Now I feel very upset: I lost my sweet, I lost my friends… I have done something wrong, but I cannot understand what exactly.

A SAUSAGE

I have got a cat. Her name sounds beautiful and very tasty. You will never guess her name. Her name is Sausage. And there’s no need to laugh. She is called so, because she loves sausages very much and prefers them to any other food. In my cat there’s enough room for exactly three sausages from her nose to the tail end, but it would be silly to call the cat Three Sausages, you know. It is rather long, uncomfortable and besides, neighbors would laugh at me. Just imagine, I go out to the balcony and call the cat loudly, ‘Three Sausages! Three Sausages!’ Everybody has been used to the name Sausage very quickly and nobody laughs at it.
