I hold my breath and sain myself. What I am sharing now is Absolute Ammunition targeted to win a Russian Woman’s heart. I hope it never gets into evil hands and would be only used for peaceful purpose. )
This fantasy tale by a XX-century Russian author is a quintessence of understanding Russian Ladies’ inmost nature.
Mothers would have shot him down for letting their daughters wait for the Prince Destiny instead of marrying some tolerable guy just not to stay single, and “regular men” would sneer at the naivity of dreams they just won’t bother making true. Young girls would assume a cynical air just to protect their hearts from injury and to prevent disappointment by refusing to hope. But listen to the charming melody of this narration and you will see,
how fair flowers survive in the dirt,
how you can watch your dreams come true if you keep faith to them and let them known,
and how all miracles are wrought by our own hands.
