Heart
The maiden is being tortured by a Cossack at the fence:
- When will you, Oksana, love me?
I'll get it with my saber for stealing
And light sequins, and ringing rubles! –
The girl responded, braiding her hair:
- That’s what the fortune teller told me about in the forest.
She prophesies: I will love the one
Who will bring my mother's heart as a gift?
No need for sequins, no need for rubles,
Give me the heart of your old mother.
I will infuse its ashes into hops,
I’ll get drunk and I’ll love you! –
From that day on, the Cossack became silent and frowned
I didn’t slurp borscht, I didn’t eat salamata.
He cut his mother's chest with a blade
And with the treasured burden he set off on his journey.
He puts her heart on a colored towel
Kohankoy brings it in his shaggy hand.
On the way, his vision grew dim,
As he was going up the porch, the Cossack tripped.
And the mother’s heart, falling on the threshold,
She asked him: “Are you hurt, son?”

Mother's heart
Vladimir Shebzukhov

I'll sing an old song...
About the heart of a mother - my voice...
How a boy betrayed his mother,
It will tell a sad story...

The young man was captivated by Beauty,
But unrequited love
I was only able to reward with melancholy,
To suffer, forcing again and again...

I asked her to take her life,
The answer was short: “What do I need in it?!”
Now, if only for his mother,
You were able to bring me a heart -
Perhaps I would become yours!..”

The moon hid behind the clouds,
But the darkness of the night does not frighten me,
As long as there is light there is only one beauty
And the shine of the fatal dagger...

Here is a mother's heart in blood
He holds in his trembling hands...
Already rushing with him to his love,
So without understanding - Where is reality?! Where is the dream?!..

I suddenly stumbled, unable to feel my feet
And as if from oblivion -

“Are you hurt, son?
It would be better if I tripped!”

How often do people judge something hastily, without knowing all the reasons for what is happening! AND
How bitter it is later when you realize that you were mistaken! And what gratitude
life, the Universe, God (you can call it whatever word you want, it doesn’t change the essence)
happens when you come to realize something that you had not seen or realized before...

The story of the one-eyed woman

"There was one little boy. He went to school, and his mother worked in the same
school in the kitchen. This woman only had one eye.
While the boy was little, he took it calmly. But when I grew up, others
the children began to tease him:

Hey, look how ugly your mom is. What an ugly face she has!

It was unpleasant and offensive for him to listen to this every time. And one day he said to his mother:

When I'm with my friends, don't come near me. They tease me, they say
that my mother is so scary and I hate to listen to it.

The woman did not fully understand these words and continued to come. Next time
her son scolded her very strongly:

Didn't you understand what I told you? Don't come over at all when I'm with friends.
This makes me feel bad!

The boy was very capable. With each class he studied better and better and,
Over time, he developed a reputation as a good student. Mom once said it herself
to him:

I won't come to you, let everything be fine with you. Only you please
come sometimes so I can see you.

Time passed. The son grew up and got married. Once again he sternly warned his mother:

Please don't ever come to my house. I don't want my wife and children
They saw that my mother had such a face. I have a good reputation now and I don't
I want everyone to know that I have such an ugly mother.

The woman, hearing such words from her son, began to cry and left.

After some time, this man had children. His mother also found out about the birth
grandchildren and really wanted to see them. But every time this desire arose,
she recalled her son’s reproachful look and his words:<<Никогда не приходи! Я
I don't want my wife or children to see your face>>.
After these words, the woman decided:<<Хорошо, я не буду приходить, если моему сыну
this may interfere>>. But one day she still could not contain her feelings.
She found out that her son’s whole family was walking in the park.<<Я просто так пройду мимо, чтобы
at least to see my grandchildren from afar>>, the woman thought. -<<Никто не заметит меня.
I will not approach them and say that I am his mother>>. A woman walked through the park
and none of the passersby paid attention to her. But when the grandchildren saw her, then
they began to spit and say:

Some scary old lady came! How ugly she is! She's probably crazy
grandmother.

The son silently watched what was happening. But he was the only one who knew who this woman was.
But he didn't even try to stop his children and protect his mother.
Having fulfilled her wish - to see her grandchildren - the woman returned home. Her son is not only
did not protect the mother, but also confirmed to his children that this was really some kind of
the madwoman passed by without saying a word that this woman was his mother.
His pride increased so much -<<большим>> became a man.
Several more years passed. One day, at the school where this man had previously studied, there was
holiday and he was among those invited. On this day he was alone, without family. All
During his life, he hid what his mother was doing, considering this activity low and dirty.
And all these years she still worked in the school kitchen.
When the festive ceremony ended and almost everyone had left, he said to those remaining:
<<Не ждите меня, я чуть-чуть ещё задержусь>>For one minute it occurred to him
the thought of going to the dining room and seeing how his mother is doing: she’s probably still here
works. Finally he thought about her:<<Пойду быстренько посмотрю как она, и сразу
I’ll go home>>.
In the kitchen he saw several women. They cried bitterly: his mother died.

Are you her son? - asked one of them.
- Yes, I am her son. I wanted to see how she was.

Having learned that she was no longer alive, he wanted to leave immediately, but one of the women called out
his:

Wait! Take this letter, she left it for you.

<<Сынок! Когда ты родился, у тебя не было одного глаза, и мне очень больно было
to see you like this. I really wanted you to grow up to be a handsome boy and be able to
see with both eyes, and I donated my eye to you1>>.

She never mentioned it once in her life, even when she had to
grandchildren to hear that she is crazy.

<<Боже мой, как мог я так жить? Как мог так жестоко поступать с ней?>>Very
He felt bitter and painful.<<Никогда не смогу я простить себе этого>>.
There are people who have no desire for anyone to know about their help. When
such a person loves, can give and do everything, but never wants
the one he loved knew about this. Love is a very deep, very sublime feeling,
and when a person loves, he doesn’t even want to talk about it."

organs from one person to another.

The story is taken from the site.

A very touching story about a one-eyed cat who found a home and became a family favorite.

“In 2013, on one of the terribly cold days of December, my mother met a gray cat on the way home,” says a girl with the nickname Miauhaupl

“The kitten, about three months old, was very thin, dirty, with a torn ear and, worst of all, with a frightening eye that he clearly couldn’t see.”

“The cat, to my mother’s surprise, was not afraid and approached her without fear, asking for affection.”

“Since our family loves animals very much, my mother simply could not pass by and not help the poor thing. The kitten was taken to the veterinary clinic"

“The doctor examined the stray cat and said that she was in bad condition, but the doctor decided to try to save and cure her.”

“The biggest problem was that the animal’s eye was badly damaged, so the decision was made to remove it.”

“But the kitten was so weak that he might not survive the operation, so we left him in the hospital to gain strength.”

“We visited the cat every day and after a while we realized that the kitten was older than we thought”

“He was about 2 years old and was not gray, but white with tiger stripes.”

“When he gained weight, the damaged eye was removed. After this operation, we could finally take the cat home."

“We named him Pirate and surrounded him with love and care.”

“He is the most wonderful cat in the world. He loves to talk, purr, cuddle and play with his ball."

“He sleeps on my pillow. We know he is grateful that his life was saved, but we are even more grateful that he came into ours."

This is what the Pirate was like when he was found and what he became

My mother only had one eye. I hated her. Because her condition made me feel ashamed.

In order to earn a piece of bread for the family, she worked as a cook at school.

One day when I was in elementary school, my mother came to visit me.
The floor disappeared from under my feet. How could she do this? I felt so ashamed...

I pretended that I didn't see her. I looked at her with hatred and ran away from there.
