“An Indisputable Advantage” (Love Stories)

Yes, it is great to be a girl. Girls can have their hair long unlike boys, who always have short and tousled hair. Girls can wear whatever they want, boys can only wear trousers. Girls are free to wear ear-rings and necklaces. A girl’s work is easier than that of a boy’s. When we went swimming, my brother was always faster than me. He used to jeer at me because of this. My brother told Gor that boys actually swim faster than girls. Whenever there is a difficult job to do, it is left for the boys. Girls are too delicate for that.
Now, you see how nice it is...to be a girl, while you used to say that...

“If I didn't exist...” (If I didn't exist...)

If I didn't exist, Gor would have been the eldest in our house. And there wouldn't be a birthday in our house in March. Noone other than me would have learned my lessons and swimming. Noone other than me would have often written for 'Khabarbzik'.

“You to Me, Me to You” (Funny Stories)

One day my mother, my two brothers & I went to the Zoo. Although we had come to see the tigers & the lions, we could only see lots of bees round us. When we were about to leave the Zoo, my mother noted:
"It's good that the bees didn't sting us."
She was just finishing her sentence, when we heard Stepanik's cries:
"Akh!!!"
A bee fell to the ground out of Stepanik's hand.
"Look, the bee is dead," we said in a way to calm my brother.
"It stung me, so I paid it back."
