Still quite a bit - and the stars, and comes a month and will float, swaying, on the quiet autumn fields. Then a month drop in the forest, stand up a little, reached the top of the highest tree, and then it will see the Hedgehog with a Bear.
"Look, " says the Hedgehog.
"Yeah, " says Bear. And a month will rise even higher and in its cold, gloomy light of all the earth.
So was every evening in the clear cold autumn. And every evening the Hedgehog with a Bear going to have a Hedgehog, the Bear and something said. Here and today the Hedgehog said to the Bear:
"It's very good that we are from each other there! The bear nodded.
"Just imagine: there is no me, you're one to talk not with whom.
- And where are you?
- But I do not.
- It does not happen, " said the Bear.
"I think so too, " said the Hedgehog. "But suddenly here - I was not. You're the one. Well what are you going to do?
"I will go to you.
- Where?
- As - where? Home. Come and say: «Well you didn't come, Hedgehog?» And you tell me...
"That's stupid! What do I tell if I am not there?
"If there is no home, so, you came to me. Rush home. Oh, you're here! And I'll start...
"What?"
- Scold!
- For what?
"As for what? For what did not, as we agreed.
"What was agreed upon?
"How should I know? But you must be or me, or at home.
"I am not at all. Do you understand?
"So that's why you're sitting!
- This I now sit, and if I would not, where will I be?
- Or me, or at home.
- This is, if I am.
"Well, Yes, " said the Bear.
"And if I did not?
"Then you sit down on the river and look for a month.
- And on the river there.
"Then you went somewhere and had not yet returned. I will run, обшарю the whole forest and find you!
"You all have already searched, " said the Hedgehog. - And not found.
- Run the nearby forest!
"And there is no.
- Turn everything upside down, and you
- There is no me. Nowhere is there.
"Then, then... Then I go out in the field, " said the Bear. - And scream: «e-e-E-Zhi-and-and-by!», and you will hear and scream: «..» Here.
"No, " said the Hedgehog. "I didn't. Do you understand?
"What you see is bothering me? - angry Bear. - If there is no you, then there is no me. Understood?
- No, you are there; and that's me - not. Bear paused and frowned.
"Well, Little Bear!.. Bear is not answered.
He watched the month, rising high above the forest, pouring on them with a crew cut its cold light
