Chichikov and the Indian rooster. A literary brief writing.
Sergei Sergeevich was reading the Nikolai Gogol's poem "Dead Souls." ["Dead Souls", 1842]
"Having dressed, he went to the mirror and sneezed again so loudly that an Indian rooster who came to the window - the window was very close to the ground - started to chatter to him (suddenly and very soon) in his strange language, probably " I wish you a good health, " - to which words Chichikov told him a fool."
About two years ago, Sergei Sergeevich thought about his manner of sneezing. The reason for this thoughtfulness was the cat. After a loud sound (sneezing), the cat was telling Sergei Sergeevich something reproachful (reproof) (in her, cat's, language) and ran away to hide.
The sound was - clearly - too loud.
And Sergei Sergeevich gradually prepared to start working on himself: the sneezing should be cultured [cultural habit], and a pleasant thing for others.
Sergei Sergeevich continued to sneeze, and the cat continued to upbringing him.
A couple of times Sergei Sergeevich sneezed quietly enough, without awakening the cat up to educational measures.
The cat, as it turned out, can become a kind of psychological trainer: she can teach a patience and a good manners.
Sergei Sergeevich continued to lead the right lifestyle: he was walking in the fresh air, was sleeping, was reading the classics (Nikolai Gogol).
And now he draws attention to Chichikov and the Indian rooster. Sergei Sergeevich recalls the upbringing on the part of the cat. She was directing him towards the good manners! She was persuading him (in her, cat's, language).
Sergei Sergeevich remembered his recent walk. Nothing special! Just a few thousand steps and ... a fresh air.
In Sochi (in the Botanical Garden) it would be more interesting. But Sergei Sergeevich looks at the beautiful flowers growing on the lawns.
Yes! By the way! The right lifestyle has yielded a good results! Sergei Sergeevich stopped sneezing!
And the cat stopped worrying...
Sergei Sergeevich continues to read Nikolai Gogol. In the old times, wealthy people carried snuffboxes with them and liked to sneeze loudly.
