Book: A wonderful bet

The closer the New year, the faster time flies. It seems not so long ago it was warm and Sunny summers and very very recently, the autumn rain, dressed in gold, the trees, the soft rustle of the falling leaves. But did not and look - the leaves dropped off, the day became shorter and there was a dark gloomy November. But soon, imperceptibly, quietly, gradually it was replaced by the Dec and started faster and faster to count their short days... And even though December is not less gloomy and dark than November, but since his arrival things have changed, Shine, sparkle, gleamed in the early twilight, shimmering magic glitter is shimmering in shop Windows, in the Windows of restaurants, squares and intersections of multi-colored Christmas tree. And suddenly the mood changed, despite the gloom and bad weather, on a shower became as-that joyful and festive, and the air smelled of tangerines, pine needles and still something elusive, most likely, the long-awaited New year.
