A Horse and two Goats

Muni was a very poor shepherd. He lived in a small village in the south of India and he only had two goats. Every day, he took them outside the village to the edge of the main road. He would sit underneath a statue of a horse and a warrior, watching the buses and lorries go past.

One day, Muni was sitting under the statue when a large yellow car stopped near him. A red-faced man got out. 'Excuse me? Is there a gas station near here?'

Then the man suddenly saw the statue of the horse and cried. 'Marvelous!' Muni was afraid. Maybe this man was a police officer. 'Marvelous!' the man said again, looking at the statue. Then he smiled. 'How do you do?'

Muni used the only expressions he knew in English. "Yes, no.' Then he began to speak in Tamil. 'My name is Muni.' The red-faced man offered him a cigarette. Muni accepted. The man said, 'I come from New York.' He took out his

card and presented it to Muni. Muni was worried. Maybe this man was trying to arrest him. 'Before God, sir, I know nothing about any dead body,' he replied in Tamil.

'Please, please. I will speak slowly,' said the red man. 'Can't you speak a word of English? Everyone in this country seems to know some English.' Muni made some sounds and shook his head. Then the man continued, saying every syllable very slowly and carefully. 'Isn't this statue yours? Why don't you sell it to me?' Muni understood the reference to the horse. 'I was very young when my grandfather explained to me about the horse and the ...' The man interrupted him, 'I will offer you a good price for the horse.' He had decided that Muni was the owner of the horse. Muni continued with his memories about the horse and his grandfather. The foreigner listened with fascination.

'I wish I had my tape-recorder here. Your language sounds wonderful. But you don't have to waste time with sales talk.'

Muni went on, 'I never went to school. So I don't know the language you speak.'

The foreigner looked at the statue. 'These colors are lovely.'

'This horse is our guardian, it means death to our enemies. At the end of the world, the horse Kalki will come and kill all bad men.'

'I promise you that the statue will have the best home in the USA. I'll put the statue right in the middle of the living room.'

Muni continued talking about the end of the world. 'Do you know what's going to happen?' he asked. The foreigner understood that this was a question.

'How am I going to carry it? Well, I can put it in the back.'

Muni continued with his memories 'When we were young we used to act out the stories of the Hindu gods.'

'Will you accept a hundred rupees for the horse?'

'We also played Ramayana. Do you know the story of Ramayana?'

'We must talk business. Give me a hand with the horse.'

At this stage the confusion was complete. Muni carried on. 'You are a good man. I normally have nobody to talk to. How many children have you?'

Realizing that a question was being asked, the red man replied, 'I said a hundred rupees.'

'How many of your children are boys and how many girls?' The red man put his hand into his pocket and took out a hundred rupee note.

The old man looked at the note. He had never seen a note so big in his life. He thought the man was asking for change.

Go and ask the village headman. He's always got money. He doesn't like me, because he says my goats eat his vegetables.' He pointed at the goats.

The foreigner decided to show attention to the old man's pets and stroked their backs. Suddenly, Muni realized what was happening. The man wanted to buy his goats! The red man shook his hand and put one hundred rupees in tens into his hand.

‘Are you taking them away in that?' said Muni, pointing to the car.

‘Yes, of course,' said the foreigner.

'This will be their first time in a car. Wait for me to go or they will only follow me.' Soon Muni was out of sight. The red man stopped the first truck that came past. The men helped him take the statue of the horse and put it in his car. He then drove off.

Muni went back home and showed the cash to his wife. 'I have sold our goats to a red man.'

Just at that moment, the goats appeared at the door. 'Where is that man? Why did you come back?' he asked the goats.

His wife was angry. 'If you have stolen something, the police will come and break your bones. Don't involve me. I will go away to my parents ...

Лошадь и два Козы

Муни был очень бедный пастух. Он жил в маленькой деревушке на юге Индии , и у него было только две козы. Каждый день, он взял их за пределы деревни к краю главной дороги. Он будет сидеть под статуей лошади и воина, наблюдая автобусов и грузовиков пройти. В

один прекрасный день, Муни сидел под статуей , когда большой желтый автомобиль остановился рядом с ним. Краснорожий вышел человек. 'Извините? Есть АЗС рядом здесь?

Тогда человек вдруг увидел статую лошади и плакали. "Замечательное!" Муни боялся. Может быть , этот человек был офицером полиции. "Замечательное!" человек снова сказал, глядя на статую. Потом он улыбнулся. "Как вы это делаете?»

Муни использовал выражения только он знал , на английском языке. "Да нет.' Потом он начал говорить на тамильском языке. "Меня зовут Муни. Краснолицый мужчина предложил ему сигарету. Муни принял. Человек сказал: «Я родом из Нью - Йорка. Он вынул

карточку и вручил его Муни. Муни был обеспокоен. Может быть , этот человек пытался арестовать его. "Перед Богом, сэр, я ничего не знаю о каком - либо мертвом теле," ответил он на тамильском языке.

"Пожалуйста, пожалуйста. Я будет говорить медленно, сказал красный человек. "ты не можешь говорить слово английского языка? Каждый человек в этой стране , кажется, знает некоторый английский. Муни сделал некоторые звуки и покачал головой. Тогда человек продолжал, говоря , каждый слог очень медленно и осторожно. "Разве это не статуя твой? Почему бы вам не продать его мне? Муни понял ссылку на лошади. "Я был очень молод , когда мой дед объяснил мне про лошадь и ..." Человек прервал его: «Я буду предлагать вам хорошую цену для лошади. Он решил , что Муни был владельцем лошади. Муни продолжал со своими воспоминаниями о лошади и его дед. Иностранец слушал с увлечением.

"Я хотел бы я имел мой магнитофон здесь. Ваш язык звучит замечательно. Но вы не ' т придется тратить время с продаж говорить.

Муни продолжал: "Я никогда не ходил в школу. Так что я не знаю языка вы говорите."

иностранец посмотрел на статую. Эти цвета прекрасны. '

' Эта лошадь наш хранитель, это означает смерть нашим врагам. в конце мира, лошадь Калки придет и убить всех плохих людей. '

' Я обещаю вам , что статуя будет иметь лучший дом в США. Я поставлю статуя прямо в центре гостиной.

Муни продолжал говорить о конце света ". вы знаете , что произойдет? спросил он. Иностранец понял , что это был вопрос.

"Как я буду носить его? Ну, я могу поставить его в спину."

Муни продолжал со своими воспоминаниями : «Когда мы были молоды мы использовали , чтобы разыгрывать истории индусские боги.

"Примете ли вы сто рупий за лошадь?

" Мы также играли Рамаяна. вы знаете историю Рамаяны? '

' Мы должны поговорить о делах. Дайте мне руку с лошадью.

на этом этапе путаница была завершена. Муни продолжал. "Ты хороший человек. Я обычно не с кем поговорить. Сколько у вас детей?

Понимая , что вопрос спрашивают, красный человек ответил:" Я сказал , сто рупий . '

' сколько ваших детей мальчиков и сколько девочек? Красный человек сунул руку в карман и вынул сто рупий.

Старик посмотрел на записку. Он никогда не видел записку настолько большой в его жизни. Он считал , что человек просит перемен.

Иди и спроси староста деревни. он всегда получал деньги. он не любит меня, потому что он говорит , что мои козы едят его овощи. Он указал на коз.

Иностранец решил показать внимание к домашним животным старика и погладил спиной. Внезапно, Муни понял , что происходит. Человек хотел купить его козы! Красный человек пожал ему руку и положил сто рупий в десятки в руки его.

"вы лишаете в этом?" сказал Муни, указывая на машину.

"Да, конечно, сказал иностранец.

" Это будет их первый раз в машине. Подождите меня , чтобы пойти или они будут следовать только меня. Вскоре Муни был вне поля зрения. Красный человек остановил первый грузовик , который пришел мимо. Мужчины помогли ему взять статую коня и положил его в машину. Затем он уехал.

Муни вернулся домой и показал наличные деньги , чтобы его жена. Я продал наши козы до красного человека ". как

раз в тот момент, козы появились у дверей." Где этот человек? Почему ты вернулся? он спросил коз.

Его жена была сердита. Если вы что - то украли, полиция придет и ломать кости. Не надо меня впутывать. Я уйду к моим родителям ...
