Here opened Puppet Show
For fun and nice children,
Looking girl and boy
to give, kings and demons.
And this infernal music sounds,
Howling dull bow.
Scary devil grabbed beetles,
And dripping cranberry juice.
BOY
He shall be saved from wrath black
White wave of the hand.
Look: lights
approach to the left…
see torches? see the smoke?
it, right, the Queen…
GIRL
Brother, not, why are you teasing me?
This is - a hell of a suite…
Queen - she walks in broad daylight,
All Garland roses intertwined,
And it is a loop, swords clanking,
Knights sighs suite.
Suddenly, a clown leaned over the rail
And shouts: "Help!
I expires cranberry juice!
bandaged rag!
On my head - a cardboard helmet!
And in his hand - a wooden sword!»
Cried the girl and the boy,
And close cheerful Balaganchik.
July 1905
