Kolobok
Once upon a time there lived a guy, called Kolobok. He had been unlucky since childhood - he was an orphan and lived only with his grandparents. They were very poor, because Kolobok's grandma and grandpa were alcoholics and gradually they had sold everything they owned. Even to make some soup grandma had to scratch the shelves and to sweep the table in the kitchen for a long time - from what she had scratched she made some soup.
That's how difficult the life of Kolobok was! In such conditions it was easy to loose the right way and it was exactly what had happened to him.
Everything began from the episode when the drunken grandma and grandpa had beaten Kolobok, and also they had sold his only pair of jeans. Kolobok put on his shorts and left his home forever.
He lived in the garrets and basements, until once he got acquainted with a strange man, wearing everything white, who was called Rabbit. He appeared to be an interesting interlocutor and Kolobok was carried away by the talk about the Bright End of Days. Kolobok didn't even notice how they came to a strange cave and a group of people in white gathered around him.
Suddenly he was seized, tied and the members of the White Sect (and it were they exactly) pulled him to their bloody altar!
What could he do? And at this fatal moment Kolobok's old guitar saved him (you know, he never parted with his guitar). Kolobok tore the guitar away from his shoulder and started to sing his favourite song about his hard life.
The members of the sect seemed to be hypnotized by the melody and Kolobok was lucky to find the exit.
But it was not his last misadventure. Next day he met the Bear and the Wolf - two smart guys, who said that they had lost the key from their car. They asked Kolobok to try to open the car with the help of a piece of wire. Kolobok was successful in opening the door of a car soon: the Wolf and the Bear thanked him, climbed into the car and left, leaving Kolobok in a fine company of the police, that arrived in time.
The inspector in the police office was very strict and the only thing that Kolobok could do was to take the guitar in his hands again and tell the police staff about his destiny. The inspector wept listening to his song and proclaimed Kolobok non guilty.
And again Kolobok lived in the garrets and basements until he met Her... She had long red hair, large green eyes, she was slim and gracious. Her name was Fox.
Kolobok fell in love with her at first sight and that is why his heart was broken when he found Fox a week later with someone else.
He decided to make her come back by all means, so he used his old trick - he sang his sad song and played the guitar.
But how cruel a women's heart is! The song that moved to pity the police inspector and the terrible sect, didn't touch the heart of Fox. She rejected Kolobok. Next day Kolobok hanged himself... Alas...
He was buried with his old guitar - so, he had really never parted with it!
