SIMPLE Soul.
Praskovju Nikolaevnu have named in honour of grandmother Praskovi. It
Praskovja Nikolaevna almost at all did not remember, but knew the story
About it. As the priest has come to them to the house and served moleben and
Has reached to pominanija members of a family about health and has asked the grandfather: "And
The wife as call? "The grandfather has become puzzled and has cried:" paran, paran,
What is your name? "The grandmother left because of a kitchen curtain and,
Bowing to the father, has told: "paraskovja, the father, paraskovja".
Both the grandmother and the grandfather, and already both the father and mum remembered
Praskovja Nikolaevna about rest. At it was pominalnik -
Small tetradochka. In it to half was "About health", and
After half "About rest". First half all time
Decreased, names in it were deleted and passed in the second
Half. Whom was to remember about health in their dying village,
Reviving only in the summer? Five-six old women. On Sundays they
Were slipped in a log hut to Praskove Nikolaevne and together read
The gospel and Psaltyr, spoke about Divine. Then
Passed to water procedures, drank tea. And again crept away
On log huts, as monks on cells, repeating the old-womanish
Pray: "Thanks God, till an old age have lived, give the God to death
To live ".
And already also did not think more anywhere to leave Praskovja, yes
The grand daughter has extended. With a daughter, great-granddaughter Praskovi, they stayed
In the summer, here so it was pleasant to them, that they in letters said, that
Wait will not wait the next July-August. Praskovja these letters
Put on bozhnichku and diligently responded, that it is glad them
To wait. And and as was not to rejoice to expectation. After all visitors are
Such happiness. For them you prepare, and something you sing. And for
And to prepare itself the reluctance. Both a cat is more cheerful, and the doggie. With them
The great-granddaughter communicated more than with the great-grandmother. Perhaps I such
Terrible, thought Praskovja. Perhaps the great-granddaughter has taken offence, when
In the first day has seen a horse, vsplesnula hands and
Has exclaimed: "What big sobacha!" Praskovja, of course,
Has laughed. And that was to laugh, well the girl of a horse did not see,
In a city now only dogs.
And so. The grand daughter has arrived to their regional city in
Business trip, has jumped out to the grandmother, ordered to be going to and...
Has taken away. Itself has brought from a shed of fire wood in a shade, has run to
To the neigbour, has asked to heat though occasionally the furnace, here and take it
For a penny. Any objections to listen has not wanted. By the bus
Have arrived to a regional city, by the evening have got on a train, and in the morning already
Were at the Yaroslavl station already in the Moscow.
And there was a Sunday in the next afternoon. They sat on kitchen,
Drank tea with rural jam, here the great-granddaughter was
komandirshej, learnt the great-grandmother there are any not clear flat
Crackers, told about intrigues in senior detsadovskoj
To group. The peal suddenly was heard. Praskovja
Has started:
- Oh, what is it? Oh, My God, it is church?
- Yes, nearby, - the grand daughter responded. - to it recently sponsors
Bells have presented. We too shuddered in the beginning, now
Have got used, now even it is pleasant. Yes, Svetulja, it is pleasant?
- So it is necessary to go, - the old woman has jumped. - as, same to
To service as we sit, teas we drink.
But the old woman one has gone to church. And to what in church was
It is pleasant, to what it is sweet. In all days, how much there lived the old woman,
It did not pass any service. Also would live in Moscow the whole
Eternity already only that it is possible to go to the Divine temple.
Yes as it so, potrjasenno the old woman as it is bells thought
Rattle, call, and people go by, and? Directly so for a hand and
Wore out.
It is interesting, that it once and has arrived. She has called
To come into a temple the woman, is younger it dressed expensively, but crying.
- Let's come, the sister, - began to call the old woman, - in house Bozhiem
You will be consoled.
And the woman, and the woman has cursed the old woman and has waved away.
In the beginning of the Great post, on reading pokajannogo of a canon
The old woman has appeared jostled and pressed to a wall. It it is bad
Distinguished a readable Canon. The old priest in the high read
Headdress. It has replaced young, loud, reading
It is legible and is accurate. Then again read the old.
Leaving after the service termination, Praskovja has shared the
Supervision with other old woman, city.
- I think, that this old man tormented. Would read young,
As it is loud, already in ears it is given. And this, even it is a pity, whispers.
- Yes you that, - began to shame her the city old woman, - yes
After all it is the metropolitan, after all it is such honour to you has got,
Service mitropolichja, and you discuss.
- The metropolitan? - Has become puzzled Praskovja. But has there and then solved: -
And it is good, that the metropolitan. Here also would stand, observed, or
Also has sat down even, and would read the young.
The old woman has waved away from it and has gone. Praskovja, having seen it
For the next day, asked from it pardon and has learnt a name. It in general
Tried to remember names of all whom met.
On molebne with vodosvjatiem it again oprostovolosilas. Again
It began to share the impression already with this acquaintance
Galina also spoke:
- They, fathers, very young regret these. These very young
Will smear any cosmetics, the father it understand and on them
Slightly also will scatter what droplet that beauty not to hurt.
And I that, I the old woman that me to regret, it and all have poured over me. Yes
Has thought, can, a little, moreover time has scooped all brush yes
Again on me. Redeemed as, already a coat wet.
- Oh, Panja, - Galina spoke, - you or pretend to be, or
Still that. Same the Divine good fortune on you, would rejoice, more
All sacred water has got in healing.
- Oh, - sighed Praskovja, - that from the rural silly woman
You will take. And on a confession I as was dishonoured. He asks:
You repent? I speak, dak as I do not repent, if I have come, not
Under a gun me have resulted. I repent, I speak, as I do not repent. - in
Than you repent? - And in everything, I speak. - namely? - I
Thought-thought, I feel, the turn props up, and has understood, that
Very much I on character opposite, all am necessary to me, that all was
In my opinion, yes I am sick all I learn old women. The bore, I speak,
The father, here who I. He of anything, speaks: kiss the Cross,
The gospel. Certainly, you here, Galja, city, to you of that not to live.
At us be, both snow on a roof will sweep up, and snow not
You will rake, on snow plyvom we float. Good, in an underground a potato
And a beet, yes fire wood in sarajke.
- So after all, Panja, and at us one beet yes a potato, -
The city old woman responded. - you here in an underground took and
slazila, and in shop it is necessary to me, for nothing nobody will give to me.
- So all the summer long you are clapped on a kitchen garden, here it and not for
Money.
They started to speak the old-womanish conversations on illnesses.
Galina named sophisticated medicines, to take which Praskove
Absolutely there was no place.
- Also I will not remember even, - spoke Praskovja. - And
Better I will learn you to a medicine for all illnesses. I it
Has deduced. Here me has pressed with a waist...
- Oh, do not speak, oh do not speak, - Galina picked up. -
Recommend a belt from the dog wool, yes after all roads.
- That it is roads, - minded Praskovja, - however at you
Dogs all runs also almost lohmaty. Catch, yes wash up, yes
ostrigi, delov! But is better arrive so: here me has pressed with
Waist, I differently turn, directly cuts half-and-half, to creep
And that is heavy. At last, all was exhausted, I speak to the illness:
Well, you me have moved, you drive me to a tomb so I will take and
I will die, and what? And whom you, illness, will torment? Dead men
With radiculitis are not ill, we do not remember dead men about health.
Also what you, Galja, think? Illness was frightened and has jumped aside. So
Arrive with any illness and will be always healthy.
Praskovja called Galina to itself, in village.
- You there the earth will force to dig me, - resisted
Galina.
- Yes you only arrive, yes you only see, how all from the earth
Creeps and begins to blossom, yes you from a furrow you will not pull out.
Precisely.
- On what I will go?
- And at these give we will ask. - they went by the expensive
Restaurant. Foreign cars, from them with squeal approached on it
Maidens in unbuttoned fur coats, and under fur coats were rolled out like
Even without anything. Following left full, similar on moustached
Cats of the man, cigarettes under feet of the door-keeper threw and disappeared
Inside.
- Oh, - Galina has told, - and as they guzzle!
- And I to you in a simple way will tell, Galja, - have laughed suddenly
Praskovja. - they after such meal brilliants, whether that,
drishchut? Is not present, same production, as at all.
Pustynniki on stu years lived on one bread and water. And these in
Forty all overwound.
- And main our enemy, - Galina has told, is a TV.
All in him, all hitch, both debauchery, and all dirty trick.
- The enemy? - Has asked again Praskovja.
- Yes, the first.
- Dak it that, with a teeth, whether that? It that, will bite you, if
You on a dustbin will throw out it, and?
Galina, having kept silent, somehow zakrjahtela also has told:
- Well weather generally all the same pass.
- And weather what to pass? Has woken up, left on a porch,
Here to you and weather. Oh, Galja, I sometimes will leave at night, I look on
The sky also I think: after all and the sky of it will not be, in a roll will be twisted,
The earth as a paper will burn. As we with old women sing
Spiritual verse: "And all will shudder has grown terrestrial before
Terrible throne of the Judge... ". What to speak - live will be
Dead to envy.
They sighed and dispersed to the following service.
But as it was good in Moscow as held its grand daughter with
The great-granddaughter, and home it was necessary. And as there without it it
Old women.
And they and really it is strong without it longed. Well and
Stories was at the old woman.
- It is necessary know as to stand on the Canon, - the old woman spoke, -
Here is how city, - stand with the book and on it watch. And if at
The metropolitan the voice is weak, all the same all is clear. To you here
It was felt, what I remember you, and? - Strictly asked
Praskovja.
All whom met also whom has remembered on the trip, whom
Remembered, it has brought in first half pominalnika, and from above
Has entered the metropolitan. And daily, in a lap, all remembered and
Especially that woman. And spoke:
- Remember, My God and excuse the woman, which me
obmaterila, excuse to it, do not make to it a sin, rescue it.
Approached to a calendar. Here it is already fast, thanks God, Easter, and
There May, kitchen gardens, there summer, berries, there the grand daughter with the great-granddaughter,
Thanks God. And in the winter the old woman again hoped to go to a city. And
In the thoughts stood in Bozhiem a temple near with the great-granddaughter, and
Both of them read pokajannyj a canon. And the great-granddaughter drove a finger
On book lines, and Praskovja read through strong points:
"To a shower washing, to a shower washing, vosstani, that write off: the end
Comes nearer, vosprjani ubo, yes the Christ the God "will spare tja.
