Veter zaletel v otkrytoe okno, podkhvatil yarkuyu shelestyashchuyu bumazhku i zakruzhil eye po komnate. - Yavilsya, - burknul kotyenok. Ya zhdu, Lena zhdyet novuyu istoriyu, chitateli zhdut, a on brodit neizvestno gde. I ostav´ moyu igrushku v pokoe. Eto moy fantik. - A ya ne s pustymi kryl´yami, - proshelestel veter, vz"eroshivaya polosatuyu shyerstku kotyenka. Segodnya budet osobaya istoriya. Ya mogu rasskazat´ o Bol´shoy cherepakhe, kotoraya plavaet mezh zvyezdami. Ili o krylatoy dushe goroda. Ili o drakone i rusalke, i o tom kak mnogo znachit, umenie vyslushat´. Ty kakuyu zhelaesh´ uslyshat´? - Vse! kotyenok dazhe zamurlykal ot izbytka chuvstv. A ya prigotovilas´ zapisyvat´ udivitel´nye istorii, chtoby povedat´ ikh vam. - Slushayte .
