How Rabbit dreamed of Hedgehog and Bear-cub.
Rabbit run to Bear-cub through the first snow. -Bear-cub! I know now you are the best of the best! shouted Rabbit. -And what about Hedgehog? -He is good too, but you are the best! -What happened to you, Rabbit? You better sit down and relax. What are you jumping? -I woke up this morning...and I got it! Said Rabbit.That there is no one in the whole world better than you! Entered Hedgehog. -Hi, Bear-cub! He said. Hi, Rabbit! What are you doing indoors when its snowing outside! -I was going to visit you, told Bear-cub, When he came and started to tell me I was the best. -Right, Hedgehog said. Didn’t you know it before? -He is truly the best, isn’t he? Rabbit said. -I'll say! Hedgehog smiled to Bear-cub and set down to the table. Lets have some tea! ..and they had some tea. -You know I had a dream today, Rabbit told. Like I was the only one left in the whole forest,like there was nobody, nobody at all - no birds, no squirrels, no rabbits, - no one! “ What should I do now?” I thought to myself in the dream, and walked in the forest. -The forest was all covered by snow, and there was absolutely - no one! I went here and there, I walked around the forest three times! There was absolutely no one, not a sole! Can you believe it? -Sounds scary, Hedgehog said. -Oh, yea, Bear-cub said. -And no traces ether. Rabbit said. The sky was a cotton wool . -What? Cotton wool? Hedgehog asked. -That’s right! quilted, heavy sky. Dead. Dead and deaf, like it feels under the quilt. -How would you know, it was deaf? Bear-cub asked. -Because I shouted. I would shout and listen...Deaf. -Well,well,well.. Hedgehog said. -And then, then ..! -What? -And then..can you imagine? from under the old stub that is on the edge of a forest... -Do you mean the one on the other side of the hill? -No, the river-one. Somebody got out from under that old stub that is on the edge of the forest, by the river. - What? Who? Bear-cub said. -You! Rabbit said. Bear-cub,it was you! -What would I do there under the stub? -You better ask me what you did when you got out! -What did I do? -You got out and quietly said “ Don’t be sad, Rabbit, we all are – alone”.You stepped up to me, hugged me and put your head next to mine....I felt so good, I burst in tears. -Me too? Bear-cub said. -You too, Rabbit said. We just stood there and cried. -What about me? Hedgehog asked. -You wasn’t there, Rabbit told. There was nobody else. Imagine! Rabbit turned to Bear-cub. The forest is empty, the sky is like a quilt, no-one-else! And we are standing, crying. -No, it can’t be! Hedgehog told. I would certainly be there too! -Its just a dream! Bear-cub said. -So what? You were crying and you haven’t notice me when I got out of the bush. I got out, saw you crying; well, I thought to mself, you should have your reason...so I decided not to interrupt. -No, You wasn’t there! Rabbit said. -Yes, I was! -No, you wasn’t! -I told you I was! Hedgehog sad. I just didn’t want to interrupt you while you were crying. -Why of course he was there! Bear-cub said. I saw him ! -Why didn’t you tell me? Rabbit said. -Because I saw you were lost, so I thought to calm you down first, and then to tell.And then,what is there to tell? Don't you know that Hedgehog, he is always with me? -Anyway, I’m still thinking we were alone, Rabbit said. -It just seemed to you, Hedgehog said. -Right, just seemed,said Bear-cub. -Well, and If so, did I have something with me? -Yes. -A rucksack, Hedgehog said. -With the carrots, added Bear-cub. -Right! Rabbit said. Then do you know, who you are for me? You are the best of the best of the best on this earth, in the whole world!
