Fablewriter Wings and Firefighters

Fable painter Krylov loved to look at the fire. Literally. And when a fire broke out in the city, he was one of the first to come there, often ahead of the firefighters themselves. Having found a secluded place, he looked at this eternal struggle between good and evil, in which sometimes good triumphed, but most often evil triumphed.

One knowledgeable person said that the idea of the fable “Swan, Cancer and Pike” came to mind to Ivan Andreevich at the moment when he watched the scene of the struggle of three marauders for a suitcase that they managed to take out of the burning house, even before the arrival of Krylov. They pulled him in different directions and no one wanted to give up. Out of it fell dishes, some trinkets, and at the very end, like the captain of a sinking ship, a volume of Krylov himself fell out of the suitcase.

But the suitcase didn't give up either. He creaked, swelled and stretched, but gave no one a drop of superiority. And who knows how this story would have ended if it had not been for the policeman and the car with the brave firefighters.

The owner of the apartment, where Krylov I.A. lived, was very worried about the passion of his tenant. He was worried not for the writer himself, but for the living space where our hero lived. I don't think he can think of anything. So I decided to make a deal with him. If he decides to burn her, he will be obliged to pay 60,000 rubles. Ivan Andreyevich got acquainted with the text, added a couple of zeros to the sum and signed the papers extensively. Then he said he didn’t have any money either. And you, dear owner, will be more pleasant and calm.

The moral of this fable is this: Suitcases used to do well, not like now.
