You know about that; I have them!

The dried tree stood silently.
No one cuts, no one bothered.
During his lifetime, he gave a lot.
The time has come for the peace of the frozen.
Once saw a thief this tree at night.
No police silhouette there.
The tree was still standing silently.
The thief was frightened, his trail was cold.
The lover walked all in dreams of his beloved.
Seeing in the twilight, he said, "She!"
I didn't wait, he thought shamefully.
I accelerated my step, because I was standing... "one"...
More than once the tree smiled so much to passers-by.
But the sadness of the dried up was still there.
With his care, past the tree, too.
In the evening, the mother with the child went.
The kid has already listened to terrible fairy tales.
The ghost was able to appear nearby.
Mom saw her eyes crying.
I was in a hurry to calm the baby...
But the tree stands, gaining patience.
We would only have time to understand in time,
That the world around us is a reflection of ourselves.
Perhaps there is nothing more to say here...

On Jewish folklore
"Goat laughter from the front,
The horse, however, is behind!"
Not arrogance for the sake of,
And, to be believed,
There will be a moment to say a Jew,
Finishing with "Az oh-n-wei!"
In the dogonchnochka he will add -
"And fools - from all sides!"

On the bench comfortably old woman sat.
No, no, yes it will feed the pigeons.
And, at least to rest, squatting, I wanted,
However, to feed - for her pleasure!
A boy sat down next to him to get drunk with juice.
Looking at him, she smiled.
He decided to share his cake.
I thought, old woman, go hungry!
And she smiled again, accepting the treat.
The kid is fascinated, but he knew why.
He offered his juice to her, having gained patience,
To make her smile at him again.
And for some reason, the kid was smiling.
And it was light and easy on the soul.
He waited for the old woman's smile again.
It's time to come home already...
"Where have you been for so long?" my mother is excited.
"I spent half a day with God - an unexpected answer -
I'll call His smile the best!
There is no such smile in the world anymore!"
I returned home, rested a little.
Met the old woman a large family.
"Today on the bench I ate with God.
But he was younger than I thought!"

When the Tenno nun studied Zen at Bucca of Engaku, it is a long time could not enjoy the fruits of meditation.
Finally, one moonlit night she was carrying water in an old pail bound with bamboo. The bamboo broke, and the bottom of the bucket fell off, and in this moment the Tenno was free!
In memory she wrote about this poem:
And so, and syak, I tried to save the old pail,
While bamboo rope is not weakened and not torn,
Until finally the bottom is not taken off.
No more water in the bucket!
No more moon in the water!

And flew away with the Sultan guest leaving the castle his cane.

I'm perfect and better than you! How you gonna beat me? As you swam to the rock in the middle of those awful waves?". A simple and imperfect brother replied, "I just don't save your strength for the way back!".
