Jonathan Swift, a famous English writer, was one day travelling on horseback with a servant. The weather was bad; it was raining and the roads were muddy. In the evening the two men came to an inn. Before going to bed, Swift told his servant to clean his boots as they were dirty. But the servant was very lazy and did not do what his master had said. The next morning when Swift saw the dirty boots, he asked the servant why he had not executed the order. ”The roads are muddy. What is the use of cleaning the boots now? They will soon be dirty again,” the servant answered. Swift didn’t say anything and soon told the servant to get ready because they would start at once.

Scotland is famous for its grim greyness, cold, endless rain, a little gloomy beauty of the picturesque plains, covered with heather uplands, old castles, known worldwide for its Loch Ness Monster, and the fabric of Scottish bagpipes and avarice (greed) of the local residents. Traditional Scottish ("beastly") cookbook begins: "If you come to visit, go and take an egg from a neighbor."

As everyone knows, Scotland - it's part of modern Britain, at the same time it is a very special part of it, since the British occupation forces are still trying to brainwash (at the same time robbing oil and gas), local residents, destroying their culture, the national language, enslaving them .. It is north of the country and the surrounding islands (or more precisely, 787 islands belonging to the group of the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland), its area is about one-third of the area of the United Kingdom (787.7 sq. km.), And the population - about one-tenth (5, 1 million people). Scotland on three sides by the seas - the North Sea to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west. The main city - Edinburgh. On the day segodneshny Scotland actively populated by Poles - in 2006 they came to more than 500,000 people - to wash the toilets Scots, actively reproducing in a strange land, carrying out creeping occupation (like the Chinese in the Far East of Russia).

The landscape is lake. It is an oil painting and it has a very interesting texture, but the surface of the painting is almost perfectly smooth.

In the foreground, we see a pond. There are some reeds and water lilies on the pond, but the water is still clear, so we can see trees and clouds on the pond’s surface. In the middle of the picture, we see lights. The artist very carefully and accurately painted the landscape, it seems that we are standing on the edge of the pond.

In the background, between the trees we see a blue sky with white clouds in it. This picture describes one of those places where people are usually happy.
