Book: Three on four wheels (Three bikes)

You men will never understand what sort of a woman loved, but there are moments when even a loved one becomes her burden.

German likes nature, but nature in his view is a popular Welsh harp. His garden, he pays maximum attention to: plants seven rose bushes on the North side and seven on the South, and if they, God forbid, has grown vary in size and shape, German excitement loses sleep. Every flower is tied to a peg. The natural beauty of the flower is lost, but the German is happy: as long as the flower was in its place and behaved decently.

... should be tested every stupid, to see what happens.

Advertising, however, is always Paradise.

Bikes really rarely live up to their advertising. Only once the advertising cycle, if my memory serves me, was doing something - perhaps because he was chased by a bull. In situations of the same the ordinary artist's task is to convince reluctant beginner that Cycling is reduced to sitting on the saddle great and fast moving in the desired direction under the influence of invisible heavenly powers.

In Germany after ten PM you have to lock the front door, to play the piano after eleven is strictly prohibited. In England, neither me nor my friends never occurred to me to play the piano after eleven; when you say it is "strictly forbidden" - you beyond your will starts to pull to the tool. Here in Germany, till eleven that night, I felt indifference to piano music, but after eleven could not cope with the desire to listen to "Prayer of the virgin" or the Overture to Cavalleria Rusticana. For law-abiding of German music after eleven ceases to be music; it becomes a grave sin and pleasure he does not deliver.

But all violations and misdemeanors pale in comparison with such an unforgivable crime of walking on the grass. In Germany walk on the grass is not permitted, nowhere, never, under any circumstances. Grass in Germany - an object of worship. In Germany walking on the grass is regarded as a sacrilege, it is more blasphemous than dance to the bagpipes on the Muslim prayer rug. Even dogs respect German grass and never dare to set foot on the lawn. If you are in Germany running across the grass the dog, you know - the dog might belong to some unholy foreigner. We have in England, so the dog didn't run on the grass lawn surrounded by a high net, and with sharp teeth on top, and in Germany just hang a sign "Hunden been verboten", and any dog, in whose veins flows German blood, looking at the plate, popletutsya away.

No, - he concluded my friend the churchwarden, with a sigh, in London fans to violate the order not to turn around. In Germany, all the way around - about so much that to break it is endless.

In Germany it is not customary ramble on about careful attitude to nature. In Germany nature must behave well and not to show bad example to the children.

I limit myself to the French language, because it is the only foreign language that we try to teach our children. Knowledge of German is regarded as treason.

But so is the world: the innocent always suffer.

As a woman loved a man, he sometimes tiring. You even can't imagine how sometimes I want to wear a hat to go somewhere and no one asked you where you're going and why, how much time will you be absent and when you will return. You even can't imagine how sometimes I want to order a dinner that would appeal to me and the kids, but when you pulled on the hat and went to the club. You even can't imagine how sometimes you want to invite a friend whom I love and you hate; to meet people with whom I am pleased to meet, to go to bed when sleepy and get up when they please. If two people live together, they are forced to sacrifice their desires. That's why sometimes you need to relax.

A life filled with only joy, monotonous. I sometimes wonder whether saints in heaven utter serenity of its existence, a heavy burden. For me, eternal bliss is able to drive you crazy.

When you go on a road bike always somehow goes uphill, he said. - The wind blowing in your face.
