SYMBOL OF ETERNITY

Hope G. monotonous sleepy, sleepy voice some of their concerns gray eyes slowly taught grammar. So much so that it looked like a fly in our class when flying from the board to the window is not reached, and falls asleep to the voice chat in flight.

I fell on my hands, I fell asleep. Got a burning pain, some violently, dragged me by the hair.

When I finally came to his senses and jumped to his feet, to somehow ease the sharp pain, and I had not seen in a gray mist, steel and teachers look hard to keep my fingers through the hair on his head. In the class of dead silence. Children with curiously watched this scene inquisitorial executions. My head by the hair, like a pendulum clock from the floor, with metallic overtones in his 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.
