You will see a poor trembling creature, until depressed by homesickness that even offer a in abundance of milk comforts him. Huddled, sitting the unfortunate prisoner under a warm blanket on a straw bed and closed his eyes to sleep dying to sleep. What dreams the old man - this, of course, impossible to guess, but judging by the dreary sighs, clearly before the mind his eyes flashed something that is extremely tempting and expensive.

One says too little freedom allowed, the other too much; one murmurs on that the authorities do nothing, the other that the power too is valid enough; some find that we have overcome the stupidity of others - that we are too smart steel; others, finally, involved in all the dirty tricks and laughing, saying: well, where have you seen this mess?! Even the looters of government property - and those dissatisfied with what soon will be nothing to plunder.

After all, look how clean - nowhere to spit!

However, and the man is not forgotten; I sent him a glass but nickle silver: rejoice, man!
