Translation from Bulgarian

1. Valkadin speaks to God

When he wanted to recollect how misfortunes had arrived and how misfortunes started piling up in his house, Valkadin also thought of that evening in August, when, after they had blown threshed it off, a great heap of wheat remained shining like gold in the stack-yard, and in the east the moon showed itself, red, through the floating dust. A big slog stayed on also after sunset. He was working alone, with his daughters-in-law and children, because his sons were still at war. While they were bringing the wheat into the barn, while they were unloading the wagons with the sheaves and putting away this and that, the moon jumped up, turned white, and when they sat down to dinner, it was as clear as day. Then he said:

"Just take a little longer while we finish the threshing." And when your husbands come, I shall distribute it to you. I shall give you everything, I want nothing for myself. It is enough for me, as long as I live, to come visit you from time to time.

IDLE IDEAS in 1905, J. K. Jerome - BG ТРЯБВА ЛИ ДА КАЗВАМЕ КАКВОТО МИСЛИМ, ИЛИ ДА МИСЛИМ КАКВОТО КАЗВАМЕ

 

Превод от английски

ТРЯБВА ЛИ ДА КАЗВАМЕ КАКВОТО МИСЛИМ, ИЛИ ДА МИСЛИМ КАКВОТО КАЗВАМЕ?

Един мой налудничав приятел смята, че Преструвката е характеристика на епохата. Той твърди, че всяко социално общуване се основава на преструвка. Влиза слуга и казва, че господин и госпожа Скука са в гостната.

"По дяволите!", казва мъжът.

"Тихо!", казва жената. — Затвори вратата, Сюзън. Колко често трябва да ти казвам никога да не оставяш вратата отворена?

Мъжът се промъква по стълбата на пръсти и се затваря в кабинета си. Жената прави своите неща пред огледалото, изчаква, докато почувства, че е достатъчно господарка на себе си, та да не покаже чувствата си, и след това влиза в гостната с протегнати ръце и с вида на човек, който приветства посещението на ангел. Тя казва колко е щастлива да види Скуките – и колко е хубаво от тяхна страна да дойдат. Защо не донесоха повече Скуки със себе си? Къде е палавият Скука младши? Защо вече никога не идва да я види? Ще трябва истински да му се ядоса. А сладката малка Пухкава Скука? Твърде млада да се отбие! Глупости. Не си струва да се прекара ден "у дома", когато не всички Скуки са там.
