The Asparagus and The Bear
Once upon a time everything in Nature had a voice, and when Man was first created Nature spoke with him and taught him. Man grew wise from Nature’s instruction, and as time passed Man came to know and understand Nature and her inhabitants, and together they built a monument as a covenant between them. But slowly Man forgot his agreement with Nature, and the inventions He designed to assist Nature, became devices to subdue Her. Slowly Man and Nature grew apart and Man stopped listening to Nature and stopped hearing the voices of the animals, and the whispering of trees, and music of the rivers. Nature grew angry and Man grew fearful, and in the forests where the Men of old once walked and spoke with Nature, silence grew complete.

The sleepwaker
My husband is an idle person. I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite, working hard all day long. I am a lawyer by profession. However, it is not accurate to say that my husband is idle. Yes, my husband does nothing, but he is not idle, but busy all day long, he is one of the least idle men I know. What is he busy with? Damn it! He spends all his energy on countless other affairs. In a word, cheating on me. Does it mean that to have fun, and to have fun with many women in turn - I counted the eighth one not long ago - is to be idle? Whoever says so, he doesn't know what pleasure is all about. My husband spends all his time, idle or not, even in his dreams, not for anything else but to think up tricks to hide from me and cheat on every woman he gets his hands on.
