Fairy Tale
Once upon a time, in a small house lived an old man and an old woman, they had no children and no animals, the only friend and companion of the old man was the old woman, and the old man was everything to the old woman.
One afternoon the old man and the old woman were sitting on the veranda as usual, the old woman was knitting a sweater, and the old man was making a wooden plate out of a piece of wood. As he was sharpening the wood, he said, "It's a good thing we don't have a farm, otherwise we'd have to think about plowing and harvesting all the time. Also, it would be unfortunate if there were floods and heavy rains, and we would lose our farm."
The old woman replied, "It is a good thing that we have no farm, and it is a good thing that we have no dog, for if we had a dog, and a leaf fell from a tree at night, it would wake us up ...... too."
The old man said: "You are right! I think it's a good thing we don't have a sheep, otherwise we'd have to drive it to find pasture. Then we might have been attacked and eaten by wolves, and then we would have been alone ......"
The old woman said, "It's a good thing that we don't have any sheep."
That night the old woman's eyes were tired. The old man was tired, too; he could not lift the knife in his hand, and they stopped working. They ate and went to bed.
They did not fall asleep at once, and the old man said, "There is a noise on the roof."
The old woman said, "No, I don't hear anything, go to sleep."
The old man agreed. But no sooner had he fallen asleep than the old woman's screams woke him. "I hear a noise coming from the yard, get up and go see what's going on."
The old woman and the old man were frightened, and they went to the window and looked out into the yard, but saw nothing.
The old man sighed and said, "If we had a dog, he would bark and would let us know if there was someone in the yard."
The old man said, "Now we'll have to go see for ourselves."
The old woman put on her shawl, and the old man carried his lamp, and they went out of the house and looked around, but there was no one in the yard.
The old man laughed and said, "We've had a lot of strange things happen to us tonight!"
They went back inside, but couldn't get to sleep. "Get out, old woman, get out, that noise is on the roof." The old man called up, startling the old woman.
The Old Man and the Old Woman(2)Fairy Tales
They both got up in a hurry, but there was silence all around. The old woman suddenly felt sad and she whispered:
"Oh, old man! If we had a sheep, it would bleat out, and we would not feel lonely."
Together they left the house. The old man took a ladder and climbed up, and as he climbed up to the roof he cried out in fear, "I can't see anything, and I'm afraid I'll fall through the roof."
The old woman cried, "Wait there a little while, and your eyes will get used to the darkness." After a while she asked, "What's up there?"
The old man said, "Nothing but black holes, but wait ......"
The old woman waited, but the old man said nothing.
The old woman shouted, "Oh, old man! What's going on up there? Why don't you say something!"
The old man and the old woman
Still they could not hear an answer, and the old woman was afraid, and she climbed up the ladder, but before she got to the top of the ladder she saw the old man laughing on the roof of the house.
The old woman said, "Old man, why do you frighten me? Why don't you answer me, and why are you laughing?"
The old man said, "Let me go down and tell you."
The old woman climbed down the ladder and the old man followed her down.
When the old man got down to the ground, the old woman saw him holding a white kitten, "Look, I think it can't find its mother. It's scared, and I don't want to leave it alone up there."
The old woman sighed and held the kitten over. "It's so small, it has to be fed milk, if we want to keep it."
The old man said, "Tomorrow, I will get up early and go and buy a goat."
The old woman replied, "Sheep have to eat fresh grass, and tomorrow I'm going to go to the garden and cut grass so I can feed our sheep."
Story Inspiration Actually, I think, at first glance, this is a very heartwarming title. Because the best love is not the bombardment, but I and you just so silent to the white head. The first paragraph of the story describes the simple but easy to move people, the old man and the old woman they are each other's everything, who can not leave who.
They were sitting in the sunshine discussing life, one speaking tirelessly, the other seriously agreeing with them, a picture just to think about, all feel yearning. If they didn't have sheep, they would feel very free and happy enough to have each other in their lives. If they suddenly got a cat, they would be willing to take it in, and wouldn't find it too much trouble to keep a sheep.
This kind of mutual love is enviable, the life of the plain and full, comfortable and happy, the face of life is never surprised by the repression, and accept the natural arrangement of life. I guess the old man and the old woman with their cats, feeding their sheep, must be in incomparably happy life.
