Glass and Iron (fable)

Glass and Iron

Glass and Iron met one day,
Among the mountains and cities they went.
Fate brought them together in the middle of life,
And they became friends for a long time.

Glass told about its bright life,
Iron spoke of its strength and hardness.
They read poetry and listened music,
They exchanged opinions about interesting films.

Once at a halt, when the fish in the pot was almost cooked,
Glass suddenly bent to Iron and hissed:
"Don't turn around! A man is hiding behind that tree,
This is damned author of our fable!"

"So what?" - Iron asked innocently. -
"Let's invite him to dinner, he came up with a good world for us!"

"Don't move!" - Glass repeated. -
"Author waiting for us to quarrel, there is no plot without conflict.
He will turn any occasion into such a scandal,
That our friendship will come to an end!
So now we have to climb into the tent
And moan loudly, as if we were in love.
Author will understand that his expectations in vain,
And he will finally stop haunting us."

Iron agreed with these arguments,
Although did not see any "author" around.
Perhaps this man was hiding behind another tree,
Perhaps he didn't exist at all.

Anyway, Iron didn't have time to philosophize,
It was necessary to rather jump into the tent
In order to maintain friendship.



The original text was written by me in Russian. I haven't studied English systematically so the translation may not be ideal. The main work was done by Google Translate, I just corrected obvious absurdities, where I noticed them and where I did not confuse them with brilliant insights.
