"Самое главное - сказку не спугнуть."Нагретые солнцем камни густо отдавали тепло. Он лежал и радовался. И было чему: молодое, упругое, сильное тело так и блестело на солнце. Хотелось борьбы и свершений. Хотелось подвигов. Хотелось испытать себя в деле. Но о нем забыли, Забыли напрочь. Он потихоньку закипал.
Warm from sun stones left intensive warmth. He was lying and was happy because his young and strong body was shining under the sun. He liked a fight and was trying to do something. But he was forgotten, absolutly. He was boiling.
The sun was going down. It was cloudy and the stones cooled down.
Why isn`t anybody looking for me? Why is nobody interested in me?
Suddenly someone touched him. It was hot. One great force lifted him into the air. It thundered:
"You are here, I need this." A man lifted the nail into the air once more and put it into his pocket.
