untitled (Scary Stories)

We were playing with a ball in the yard. I kicked it and it rolled down to the basement. I entered. The other boys were there long ago. I was looking for the ball; I rolled a foil even...
One of the boys whose names Hayk and who’s known to be crazy approached me and cried out a scary “boo”. I had my heart in my mouth from unexpectedness. I could hardly regain consciousness. Later I learnt they had long ago found the ball.

“Love Declaration” (Love Stories)

I really love our neighbor’s daughter Alla. She has such a tender voice that I willy-nilly want to embrace and kiss her all the time. I have made a habit of kissing her curly hair every time she comes to our place. I quit doing my lessons and approach her. She pulls her head back and says.
“Don’t do it!”
No matter how much she resists, she always gives up in the end. I like her innocent look; her clever little eyes most of all. Her smile makes her so beautiful that she resembles an angel come down from the heaven.
It’s two days since they have left and I miss her already. Today is Alla’s second anniversary, but, alas, I can’t even congratulate her on it.

“The Old Acquaintance” (Funny Stories)

We had a neighbor. Her name was Peacock. My younger brother, Haik, loved Grandmother Peacock and embraced her every time he saw her.
Once we went to the zoo with my mother. When we were at the bird cage, my mother pointed to something.
“Haik, look at the peacock.”
Haik looked at my mother in surprise and exclaimed:
“Why have they put Grandmother Peacock in the cage?”
