Swan. Swan clumsy on land, he walks, swaying from side to side, as if he had to run, then help themselves wings, so that almost flying. But no one in the water graceful and beautiful swan: his movements are free, elegant, relaxed. Legend attributes this gift to sing unusual bird mellifluous song-swan song, but only once in my life - before death. But Swan did not sing either during life or of death, but only shouts unpleasant voice. His song is like a creaking carts nemazanoy. Swan is very strong, ipopytka attack him or his cubs - employment is not secure.

-Я звонил тебе в полдень. Почему ты не подходил к телефону? 
-Я смотрел за младшей сестрой. Мы вместе играли в кубики и раскрашивали картинки.Но потом ей стало грустно и она начала плакать, потому что соскучилась по маме. Она еще очень маленькая, и ей нужно постоянно чем-то заниматься. Ей станет скучно, если она останется одна. Мама была на работе, и попросила меня с ней посидеть. Нам было очень весело, потому что мы занимались чем-то вместе. Когда мама пришла и увидела как много красивых картинок мы ей нарисовали - она очень обрадовалась, потому что мы сдружились с моей сестренкой. Я постараюсь проводить с ней больше времени.

- I called you at noon. Why you didn't approach phone? - I looked for younger sister. We together played cubes and painted pictures. But then it it became sad and she started crying because missed mother. It still very small, and she needs to be engaged in something constantly. It will become boring for it if it remains one. Mother was at work, and asked me to sit with it. To us it was very cheerful because we were engaged in something together. When mother came and saw as many beautiful pictures we drew with her - she very much was delighted because we became friends with my little sister. I will try to spend with it more time
