and the poison is already working, – wiping his nose, said Zyuzya.
«So it’s an allergy,» I said, laughing at the brownie.
– That’s what you think. But we know what it is. As for their escape to your world, it was they who chose it. Perhaps to fulfill their plans.
– That’s the story you told me, how am I going to live now?
– There are still six stories left, do not forget about our agreement with you, – said Zyuzya and immediately disappeared.
And instead of him, my Timosha appeared on the sofa with his paws spread out impressively.
– Why do you want to take over our world, you cunning man? I asked him.
Timosha curled up into a ball as if nothing had happened and fell asleep.
THE SECOND STORY
– And so the peasants got ready for one, two, three drove, – a familiar voice was heard from the room.
Something hit the floor again, it looks like a flower fell from the windowsill.
I was in the kitchen at that time, preparing dinner. Natasha was supposed to come home from work soon.
– I guess whose fault the pot of flowers broke, – I said loudly, wiping my hands on a waffle towel, went into the living room to scold the brownie.
But when I entered the room, a strange picture appeared in front of me, which I definitely did not expect to see.
There were as many as three brownies hanging on the curtain and they were all completely different. Zyuzya was in charge and commanded them.
– Is that what you arranged at my house? I said loudly.
– Don’t swear, Vasily. It’s me and my brothers competing. We are supposed to arrange competitions like this in Nabyland sometimes. We especially love to hold these events in your world.
– No, I am against such competitions, you have already dropped a pot with a flower on the floor, and it broke.
«Then give me my shoe, and I promise I won’t show up at your house ever.»
– No, I told you, when you tell seven stories, then I will return your thing to you. I don’t wear your shoe, it doesn’t fit me.
– If you don’t want it in a good way, now you’ll see it in a bad way. Don’t you know who brownies are?
– No, I don’t read fairy tales, – I answered with a smile, looking at Zyuzya.
– What would you understand, we are obstinate spirits. And if we are very angry, we can be very angry. Come on, guys, stare at him with your evil eyes.
And the two brownies who were standing next to Zyuzya flashed their eyes at me.
I was really getting uneasy by the minute.
– And now let’s give Vaska the heat, – shouted Zyuzya.
And the three brownies began to race around the room at high speed and throw things off the shelves.
Suddenly the bell rang, I wanted to go open the door. But Zyuzya blocked my way.
– Listen, give me my shoe! – he said plaintively.
«If you tell me six more stories, then I’ll give them to you,» I replied in a calm voice.
– What kind of person are you, nothing will scare you. This was the second story, there are still five left,» Zyuzya said and disappeared, followed by the others.
And in the room, all the things were back in their places.
THE THIRD STORY
– Vasenka, have you and Natasha got another cat? – Tamara Georgievna asked, she was a grandmother, she looked about seventy years old.
– Mom, where did you get this from? I asked in surprise.
– I thought there was a cat in the living room. After all, I let Timoshka out for a walk in the morning. But my eyes don’t see well, and I didn’t see who was running around the room.
– Mom, well, you go lie down and rest, and I’ll take a look… maybe the neighbor’s cat really ran into us by mistake, – I said.
And he went into the living room and immediately closed the door so that she could not hear anything.
– Come out, they’ve already snitched on you,» I said quietly.
Zyuzya got out from under the sofa and chattered quickly.
– And you know how it was. I walk down the curtain from the Non-Land, and with my fifth point I feel that someone is looking at her, I realized that it was an old woman and slipped under the sofa so as not to get slippers.
– Nothing, Mom was without glasses.
– Do you want me to tell you a story about an interesting world that I sometimes go to with friends through the cube center.
– Of course I want to, I’m generally interested in how everything is arranged there and what worlds exist.
– In your World of Flesh, you are not supposed to know about all the worlds and about their structure, – said Zyuzya seriously.
– Well, at least tell me something about them, – I asked.
– Okay, I’ll tell you a little. You have already heard about one world, this is our world of brownies, which is called Non-Land, there is also a World of Shadows where evil ghosts and spirits live, The World of Oblivion is a mirror world, you can’t stay there for a long time, otherwise you will forget everything and even your name, The World of Radiance is not a world for everyone, it is high frequency and pure energy, if a simple creature gets into it, it can simply dissolve or disappear forever. There is also my most favorite World of Imagination in which you can invent whatever you want, but the most important thing is not to overdo it.
– Great. Have you told me about all the worlds just now?
– No, of course not…
I scratched my head thoughtfully and thought.
– Why is our World of Flesh so limited in possibilities. The roads to other worlds are closed to us.
– Well, Vasya, I need to get home now, – Zyuzya interrupted my thoughts and prepared to climb up the curtain.
– Wait, but you didn’t tell me about the interesting world that you and your friends sometimes visit.
– Oh, I didn’t tell you, but I don’t have time for that anymore. I’ll tell you next time then. Four stories left. Don’t forget, four!
The brownie climbed up to the ceiling on the curtain and immediately disappeared.
THE FOURTH STORY
The night turned out to be stellar today, the stars poured out in the sky in a fine scattering and brightly twinkling lights winked at each other. The moon was full and shone through my open window, so bright that I couldn’t sleep.
«Summer, what a wonderful time of the year, and summer nights can’t be compared to anything at all,» so I lay and thought without closing my eyes, and the time was already two o’clock in the morning.
And then I realized that if I continue to lie there and do nothing, I can spend this night completely without sleep.
So I decided to go to the balcony and breathe fresh air into my lungs, and then fill them with cigarette smoke.
Well, I smoke, I smoke, what can you do with me now.
Very quietly, I got out of bed so as not to wake Natasha, put on my slippers and went as quietly as possible to the balcony,
