Falling old ladies

Nov 29, 2009 18:59

Because of her excessive curiosity, an old lady fell out of the window and smashed into the ground. Another old lady looked out of the window, staring down at the one who was smashed, but out of her excessive curiosity she also fell out of the window and smashed into the ground. Then the third old lady fell out of the window, then the fourth did, then the fifth.

When the sixth old lady fell out of the window, I got bored of watching them and went to Maltsev market where, they say, someone gave a woven shawl to a blind man.
