The Scarlet Sails Again!
You cry? You have been offended?
They do not want to be friends with you?
Do not cry, my little girl!
They are silly, and sometime
They will understand their mistakes.
Years will pass.
One day you will look in a mirror.
And will see the charming girl
with pensive eyes.
from a presentiment of a miracle.
You will dress in your best dress
and will run along the coast
of ocean, the sea, or the big river.
Suddenly the white ship
with huge SCARLET SAILS
will appear on the horizon.
Solemn music will play,
and all command in dress uniform
will gather on the deck.
The crowd of people will gather at the coast.
But you should be near the water.
Soon the landing boat decorated with flowers
will have been lowered down from the surprising white ship
The young sunburnt captain will float in it to the coast, to you.
He will take your hand, will put on your finger the ring,
and will take you with himself in Happiness.
People on coast will cry to you:
«The happy way! Good success!»
And those who offended you,
will be very much surprised and disappointed.
They never heard about the fine book
by Russian writer Alexander Green
« The Scarlet Sails «...
... You do not cry any more, my dear?
You have understood,
what this fairy tale says about you?
But you must,
like the girl Assol in this book,
keep faithful to your dream
and wait for your own ship with SCARLET SAILS.
