TWO BROTHERS

There lived two brothers - Nikita and Mitya.

Nikita was not quite big yet, but not small either. He read adventure books.

When he read these adventure books, he would sit under the table, curl his legs in Turkish style, and plug his ears with his index fingers. Or he climbed into other places where the average person would not like reading adventure books.

He found it more convenient for him.

Sometimes he collected matchboxes and made cars and boats out of them. Unfortunately, these boats soon became limp in the water, and this was the main drawback of matchbox boats.

Sometimes he ran terribly fast down the corridor, probably forty-five kilometers per hour. Sometimes the cook was carrying a dish with cutlets, suddenly something flies past her like the wind. The cook won't have time to blink, ah, ah! - and the dish and cutlets fly to the floor.

Nikita was often and loudly scolded for running down the corridor.

But since his head was full of read adventures, he did not take offense at trifles, speaking terribly quickly:

I'm sorry, I'm sorry mommy, I won't.

And he continued to run at a speed of forty-five kilometers per hour.

Nikita had pea-colored eyebrows and eyelashes, a cropped head and ears are so thin that after washing them hot water for some time they hung like rags.

The second brother, Mitya, was still a toddler and a toddler.

He also lived an independent life, no matter what they say about him.

When he was thirsty, he said:

Dign, dign.

The spiders that got into the apartment along with the firewood, he called:

This did not mean that he could not speak. He spoke very, very well. But only a wooden horse was called "vevit", a dog "avava", and a teddy bear - "patapum".

So Mitya understood better, and the horse, dog, bear, spiders understood better.

Mitya was very hard-working. He always did something. Either silently and diligently smeared blueberry jelly on his face, or smeared it with milk froth.

Or, taking a chair, he drove it around all the rooms, which made a terrible noise. But Mitya did not pay attention to the suffering of adults.

He liked to sweep the floor with a broom. Or in the kitchen he would take a cutlet mallet and beat it into a copper basin, which also made a lot of noise.

He was very fond of drawing, and he had an undeniable talent for painting.

He drew guesswork and straight forward. These were very interesting things. For example:

It was a guess.

straight.

They were drawn in different places on a piece of paper. But if you quickly look at the guess, and then quickly look directly at it, you get an ordinary person:

Nikita and Mitya were very fond of each other and often fiddled like puppies on the floor among the toys.

FATHER AND MOTHER

Nikita and Mitya's father went to work every day. Mother also often left on business. The stature of the father and mother were from the sideboard, and because they both grew so tall, many interesting things passed by their noses.

How many times have they been asked to lie on the floor and look under the closet.

The fact is that under the closet lived: a booger with specks, two wood lice and a hungry spider Nose - a boring animal.

Temporarily under the closet appeared: a black cockroach and a cheerful mouse, which gnawed sugar and rolled chess.

There were also: an ordinary cork, dead flies, dust that looked like cotton wool, and a tin soldier who could not be reached from there.

When asked to lie on the floor and look at these beautiful things, the mother answered with annoyance:

Leave me alone, please, with your closet, my hands are falling off anyway.

Mitya, hearing these words, was frightened and followed his mother for a long time, waiting for her hands to begin to fall off.

Nikita and Mitya gave up on father for a long time. My father was a kind person, but he did not know how to play anything. Will he put Mitya on his knee:

Well, come on, kid, let's go. Hop, hop ...

Mitya was shaking on a stiff knee. That and look you fall, and does not look like a horse at all.

And if you play for real: Nikita on a brush, Mitka on a broom, galloping down the corridor, and around the table, and kicking, neighing, screaming "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Father will throw the newspaper, cover his ears, twirl his head:

Spare my ears, I will leave this house ...

In their free time from the service, the parents were engaged in upbringing.

During lunch, the same thing was said every time:

Nikita, if you please have noodles, otherwise you will go into a dark room!

Mitya, stop banging your spoon on your plate!

Children, do not chomp, you are not pigs!

Children, stop puffing up with water when there is milk on the table!

Nikita made an old face because the noodles would not fit into his stomach. He was not afraid of a dark room - it was not even in the apartment. But try not to eat noodles when two people, each the size of a buffet, look into your mouth and repeat:

Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat!

At this time, Mitka suddenly grabbed a jug with a spoon so that his father and mother jumped up.

Mitya was immediately spanked on the hands. He puffed, was silent. And Nikita, as if having finished the noodles, ran with a plate into the kitchen at a speed of forty-five kilometers per hour.

Once Nikita got really bad.

He read the adventures of Max and Moritz. He knew immediately that it was a wonderful book. He told Mitka about this book. Mitya listened, sniffed and agreed to everything. Early in the morning Nikita poured water into all the galoshes. He smeared himself with soot and smeared Mitka. They ran on all fours to the kitchen and terribly frightened the cook.

They put ropes across the corridor to make everyone stumble. They put potato skins into the kettle, which was already on the samovar. They did a lot of amazing pranks this morning ...

Yes, yes, Mitka was punished more easily, Nikita was punished more seriously, as the instigator. Yes, yes, both got it this morning. After both mother and father had gone to work, Nikita said to Mitya:

Don't count on your parents too much, Mitka: you have to educate yourself.

BROTHERS GO

MEETING DANGERS AND ADVENTURE

Tell me, baby and toddler ...

So Nikita once said, throwing an adventure book on the floor. He put his hands in his pockets. He narrowed his eyes, which is absolutely necessary when a person decides on any brave act ...

Tell me, is it necessary to highlight the expression "as if nothing had happened"? The girl, as if nothing had happened, smiles broadly.

Combination as if nothing had happened does not require pegging: The girl, as if nothing had happened, smiles broadly.
