Lázár Ervin - The holey sock
Once there was a holey sock. In its early age it wasn't just any sock, because it was made from a refined fabric, and cavalier blue patterns embellished it. But now it has aged. So as I said, there was a hole on it. It was a bloated, jagged edged. They lived in a ramshackle wardrobe most tumble-down drawer's very bottom.
- I'm still prettier than you - said the hole to the stock.
- What - astonished the stock - that you are prettier?! Why would you be prettier?
- Because they can see through me - answered the hole.
- Oh please - instructed the stock - I'm pretty because I'm not transparent, and look how beautiful my blue patterns are.
- And you are dirty - continued the hole, not caring about the teaching - I on the other hand never get dirty.
The stock thought about it for a moment.
- You see! - the hole said loudly - You've admitted too. It's not even fair that I'm this small and you're that big.
The hole got itself, and grew. Now there was hardly anything from the sock. The hole was bigger than the remaining sock.
- You completely ruin me! - weep the sock.
- You should be happy you can live with such a beautiful hole - said the hole high-handed and grew even bigger.
- Oh, you are killing me! - shouted the sock, and the hole grew so huge that nothing remained from the sock. But as the sock disappeared, disappeared the hole as well. Because if there's no sock, there's no hole either.
So now the non existing hole can cry after the non existing sock.
Elisabeth put down the book and looked at her best friend. Felix was clearly confused.
- This is a really strange one. It's a sad story but I don't feel so sorry for them as I did the last time.
- That's alright. - smiled the brunette.
- Is it? - Felix was still confused. - Anyway it was much better than the other. It wasn't that dark. But could you please tell me a really nice and happy one? I'm sure you have one, you just don't want to admit. - he was clearly mocking her.
- I wouldn't be so sure, but you know... I will search one just for you.
- Love you, baby girl! - Felix hug his best friend with a huge smile on his face.
- Love you too, pony star! - Elisabeth laughed. - Are you hungry?
- I thought that was you...
- Watch your tongue, it would be really bad if you had fallen down from the stairs. - an evil grin was on her face.
- Of course it would be! Who would listen to your fairy tails the whole day then? - but the guy was just laughing.
A.N:
So another one of Lázár Ervin's tales. It's not that dark, but not that happy either. I will search for a happier, that's a promise. Sorry for the strange word using, I tried to translate it as I could, it won't be perfect. Hope you liked it, I chose this one because it was really short, and I'm too lazy.
And my next idea would include other writers tales as well, but it will be only in December or even later. If you fell like you have anything to say about this, feel free to write a review. I would be really happy :)
