Geografichka looking east

< Yulia Mironenko



Once there was a Miss Mary, geografichka,
Secular girl with a dreamy kind little face.
Mary did not set twos, the children loved it
Mary has always tried to be cute.
One fifth graders at
lesson Mary dictates: "The sun rises in the east ..»
"How? I have seen - the sun rises from behind the town hall »
! "No, because the field of sunflowers!»
"There is, straight from the sea!»
Class started up with joy, began to argue.
"And where are you" east "saw this explain?
This object, Miss Mary, and not at all! »
Mary took was a compass, but suddenly paused, - whether, geographic thinking thin filaments
slipped away from her,
whether, tired of every scientist to believe - but our Mary she decided to find the answer

. And, stamping his foot, he jumped over the planet
to a height of about one hundred kilometers.
Above it floated in the rarefied air
rocket, stellar dust and, apparently, even the angels,
her clothes torn ruthless winds,
stabbed her right in the heart of gray given,
but soon it all stopped.

And that's what I saw above the clouds Mary:
the sun, it really does not go anywhere,
and not from him comes the light,
planet does not rotate,
nothing, no time, no place to measure - and therefore, the East with the West simply no
. Mary so incredibly surprised,
it is not even noticed as landed.

In the capital's cafes have learned to cook
delicious coffee,
is back fashion to shave their beards;
Friend Mary beckoning on Latte cup discuss,
whether there is truth in the intricacies of philosophy,
as the Hadron Collider affects the climate,
whether the young ladies who are over thirty,
put your age in open public profile - in vain tout, Mary passes;
Mary returned to school, the children learn.
Children look inquisitively at her in class,
dalyam and gray in their eyes smiling Mary:
"The sun - so write in the textbooks - rises in the east
. But I advise you to check it yourself. "
