The strange world story for children.

 Closer than you think

Mr. Kornél, wait! I would have a question for you! ”They shouted after him from the office, but he pretended not to hear. He grabbed his carbon black briefcase and got into the elevator as fast as he could. He pressed the ground floor button with relief, as no one had been able to run after him until now. He was grumpy and exhausted, but most of all he was fed up with everyone. He felt that if another word was said to him, he would explode along the way.

I'd just be home-sighed. Although it would be so at home! -

a place I could rightly call it

The elevator door opened, he got out and soon found himself on the busy main street of the city. The crowd rippled like murky seawater, barely able to make its way to itself. Once he had to avoid a staring group of tourists, other times he jumped in front of running children.

aside. He began to think they were just there to annoy five.

He walked down the subway with a sour face, staring incessantly at the ground beneath his feet. When he got down, he paused for a moment. Something stopped him, he was forced to notice. He heard a voice, a tormented, tired voice.

Pity good man whispered a crushed beggar woman. He stood crouched against the wall, as if in the shadow of some awesome ghost. He leaned on a crooked stick, his face framed by a black scarf. Kornél hesitantly plowed through his graying mustache, then looked at the barker.

Suddenly he felt even blood frozen in him. The beggar had a wrinkled, aged face, nothing special could be seen at first glance. But Korn did not examine the wrinkles at the edge of his mouth. No, he looked straight into the woman's eyes! They had huge, pale blue eyes, and the passionate fire of youth glowed in them. In the eyes of an elderly man ....

The man was frightenedly familiar by this look, which had once fascinated him in the same way. Yes, a childhood love had exactly such a glamorous look. He felt his hands tremble and breathe faster and faster. He didn't know how long he'd been staring at the woman, but he couldn't walk away. He would have fled, but his legs disobeyed him. She smiled mockingly, her eyes piercing Kornél's eyes even more.

You're here now ... 'he said in a hoarse, tired voice. - I found you and nicely with me

you come

The next few minutes were completely out of the question for Kornél. He only got it once

himself to lie on a hard, cold stone floor and is especially tired. Slightly opened the

eyes, then sat up slowly. It was in an empty, tiny room, lit only by the light filtering through the latticed window. Kornél looked around and was determined to find that there was no door on the wall of the room,

“What the hell?” He ran out of his mouth. He then heard the sound of small footsteps before he shuddered.

"Who are you?" He whispered desperately. The footsteps were heard from behind him, but he did not dare to turn around. It wasn't even necessary, because the owner of the footsteps, a snow-white cat, was soon standing there in front of him. Kornel was relieved for a moment before the animal looked at him. He received the same pale blue look as he had just before.

- It's just a dream, a very strange dream ... There can be no other.

The cat turned its head slightly to the side to hear these words and then began to speak without

that his mouth would have moved.

“Unfortunately, I have to bitter you,” came a velvety female voice from the animal. -You don't dream it, I brought it here. I'll explain why. Kornél turned pale and took a deep breath.

"It would be a little long to tell it all," the cat continued, "because the beginning of the story goes back many, many years." When even I was young myself, I brought a girl here from the world of people, despite the ban. I would add, 6 wanted this too, but after staying here for a couple of weeks, he started to feel homesick. That is, 6 with this word he justified that he wanted to go home.

Kornél watched in amazement at the strange animal, whose mouth remained closed throughout his speech, but he constantly adjusted his expression to what he had to say. It was a particularly frightening, yet wonderful sight.

“The Great Leaders have decided to dispense with all sorts of sanctions if I bring the girl back into the world of people. I recently learned that a person alone cannot go home. You need someone to think lovingly with whom you can cross the gate.

The cat began to lick its soft paws slowly and comatically as he watched Cornelius all the way. The man thought for a moment, then spoke uncertainly.

-So then ... Why am I here? And where am I?

-Yeah, yeah! How stupid! ”He said from the washing animal. "Didn't I tell you everything before?" You are the one with whom she can go back to the world of people. But you have to find the way, I'm done here. Believe me, it took me a long time to find someone who feels this look. And it wasn’t enough that you knew it, you also had to feel love for its owner. But trouble often comes from this feeling!

- Where am I? Kornél repeated the question to which he had not previously received an answer. The cat seemed a little taken aback.

-Maybe you're blind? That's not good, it's going to be hard to get home.

- No. I see perfectly well.

"Then just look around and you can see where you are." And from your buggyuta questions

spare time next time!
