КОГДА ТЫ ПРЯЧЕШЬ СОЛНЦЕ, МНЕ ГРУСТНО Над горой...

WHEN YOU ARE HIDDING THE SUN, I AM SAD. Fog and pinkish-orange reflections over the mountain. It rained all day, then stopped, the sun came out, went down the mountain, and now there was such a mountain. It was very beautiful, so beautiful that the Hedgehog and Teddy Bear just looked and did not say anything to each other. And the mountain kept changing: orange moved to the left, pink moved to the right, and blue turned gray-blue and remained at the top. Hedgehog and Teddy Bear have long loved this game: close your eyes, and when you open it - everything is different. “Open soon,” whispered the Hedgehog. - Very well! Now orange flowed in a narrow border across the mountain, and pink and blue disappeared. The fog was higher there, and the mountain itself was as if surrounded by an orange ribbon. They closed their eyes again, and when they opened it a moment later, everything changed again. Orange flashed in some places on the left and right, pink suddenly appeared on the right, pink-blue disappeared, and the whole mountain became so dark, solemn that it simply could not be averted from it, the Hedgehog and the Bear cub closed again and opened their eyes: the mountain was calm, foggy, with a slight pinkish reflection on the right, but they did not have time to close their eyes again, as this reflection disappeared. A foggy, very beautiful mountain was looking at a Hedgehog with a Teddy Bear. And suddenly, or it seemed to the Hedgehog and Teddy Bear, someone spoke: - Do you like to look at me? “Yes,” said the Hedgehog. - Who? Who is talking? - Teddy bear asked in a whisper. - I am beautifull? “Yes,” said the Hedgehog. - And when do you like me better - in the morning or in the evening? Then the Little Bear realized that the mountain was speaking. “To me in the morning,” said Little Bear. - And why? - Then the whole day is ahead and ... - And you, Hedgehog? “When you hide the sun, I'm sad,” said the Hedgehog. “But I like to look at you in the evening more.” - And why? - When you look in the evening, as if you are standing there, on top, and far, far away you can see. “What did you see today, Hedgehog?” - asked the mountain. - Today the sun was hiding so much, and someone didn’t let it go so much that I didn’t think about anything, I just looked. - And I ... We ... Then we open our eyes, then we close. We play like that, ”said Little Bear. The twilight quickly thickened. And when it got almost completely dark, the blue-green sky suddenly broke away from the mountain, and all of it became sharply visible, blackening on the pale blue strip separating it from the dark sky.
