A big dandelion

  

   And this tale is like this: every one always argues in it.

   And more than others argue, certainly, the stubborn Elephant Calf and the funny Bear Cub.

   That is what I want to tell you about.

   Well, listen.

   I can not remember exactly, when it happened - maybe on Saturday, or maybe on Sunday - but, in short, it was a beautiful day.

   And then it was a beautiful evening, and in that very beautiful evening the Bear Cub came to see the Elephant Calf.

  -- Hello, - the Bear Cub smiled. - I have not seen you for a long time. Is it not a beautiful evening?

  -- You think so? - the Elephant Calf said amazed. And added right there:

  -- No, what makes a beautiful evening is that when it rains and you can tramp on puddles. Like this. - And so the Elephant Calf showed the way the puddles should be tramped on.

   Of course, the Bear Cub enjoyed tramping on the puddles himself, but this time he disagreed.

   The evening was beautiful, indeed. The stars sparkled like small distant candles, and moths touched down the Bear Cub's ears. They must have been thinking that there were simply hairy petals.

   And that is why the Bear Cub could not have agreed to the Elephant Calf. He just smoothly took him on the trunk and dragged him out to the garden.

  -- Look, can you not see that these stars and trees are wonderful? You, the stubborn Elephant Calf.

   But the stubborn Elephant Calf said:

  -- And generally speaking, my friend, I am very hardly surprised.

  -- Hardly surprised? All right, then.

   And the Bear Cub took his head in his paws, sat on a stump and started thinking of the ways to surprise the Elephant Calf.

   And what if, per example, he blows a very-very big air-balloon and flies at the Elephant Calf's? Oh, well, it should be certainly all nice, but what if the Elephant Calf suddenly says: "This is not a beautiful air-balloon, but an ordinary thick bubble".

   And what if he shows the Elephant Calf on one of the first lilies of the valley? But the Elephant Calf can easily say: "Oh, my friend, soon they are going to boost in thousands! Ha-ha-ha".

   And the Bear Cub came almost to despair, when all of a sudden he remembered: but how could he possibly have forgotten?! The Elephant Calf is fond of clouds and dandelions...

   Of the clouds because they are like big white elephants. And of the dandelions - they are like small clouds on green stems. The Elephant Calf often smells on them.

   So then the Bear Cub went to the elephant's garden and said to a big poplar softly:

  -- Please, bestrew me with whitey-white fluffy catkins. I want to make the Elephant Calf laugh and to surprise him.

  -- If you please, - the poplar said.

   It shook its branchs, and fluff started falling, and it kept falling, on and on. It looked like an entire sweet-scented snowfall had fallen on the Bear Cub. And soon he was covered so thickly, that the Bear Cub could not have been seen any more, even his small tail was disguised. The Bear Cub closed his eyes and went to sleep in that sweet-scented stack.

   A rooster cried in the morning, the sun rose. And the Elephant Calf went out to the porch. He stretched himself, took a deep breath, looked around... and gasped with surprise: an unexampled big dandelion had grown up in the depth of the garden.

  -- Can such dandelions really exist? - the Elephant Calf said in delight. - But it is marvellous!

   The Elephant Calf even closed his eyes out of joy, and breathed the smell of the dandelion: Oh!

   But when he opened his eyes again, the Bear Cub stood in front of him, and he had whitey-white fluff on his ears and on his small tail. The elephant turned out and was going to say something dull again. But the Bear Cub smiled:

  -- Oh, please, do you not pretend! I heard you saying it was marvellous in my own ears!

  -- Ok, ok,- the Elephant Calf nodded. - And actually, the Bear Cub, I often think of beautiful things, but I'm shy to speak about them.

   Well, this is it.

   I hope you understood what I meant? Not all dull people are, in fact, dull. Maybe they are simply shy. And they need help. Even if it takes becoming a big dandelion for this.
