Nails, saw, ax. Cereals, flour, salt. Sometimes I bought spices — black pepper peas and cloves.

He never talked about the fact that the Lord gave people car paint of a different color. Nastya told me about the cars and the flowers, which the Lord honored to leave the skete together with the papa that started to hurt with her legs. For the first three times, she accompanied her father as a porter. Then she rode the lisapeda herself.

She managed to score much worse than me, but only she and papa could ride on the two-wheeled gift of the Lord. I could not turn his stirrups. Five times the hem of my skirt stuck in chains. Nastya, the Lord, advised him to take off her skirt and be naked to learn how to ride. And the Lord allowed her to make a whole circle without the help of papa. When I undressed and tried to drive, I immediately crashed the wheel into the deck on which the wood was cut. It is clear that the Lord is preparing me for another field. After that, we stopped trying to teach me to ride on this wonderful mechanism, left by some mushroom picker in the forest before our birth.

I left thoughts of the past. Now we need to take care of the cattle, the bird.

- Nick, Nastya, let's go to the cows, remove their cakes in the sun, let them dry.

During the usual work that we did several times a day, the Lord advised me to ask Nicky:

- Nick, my sister told me that cars drive fast. How much faster is a lisaped or a horse?

- The simplest machine can accelerate to one hundred kilometers per hour. And on the bike the best cyclist will accelerate to thirty, a maximum of fifty ke-mee per hour. It turns out two or three times. But this is if a simple car, not a racing car. Some of them accelerate to three hundred ...

- What does kilometers per hour mean?

- A kilometer is a thousand such distances, called the meter. - Nika showed with hands what the meter means.

I know the number of a thousand, but I can not even imagine what this distance is.

- Yes, how can they not fly over the edge of the earth?

- For what edge? Earth has no edge. There are the shores of the seas, oceans, but the edge, like a precipice into hell, no. The earth is round like ... an apple.

Yes-ah-ah, sinner. The Lord did not give you reason at all. Where are the whales swimming then? Which, according to the words of Father Zechariah, are so great that they will not fit in an ordinary Akean sea Okay, sister Nick, I myself will teach you everything.

- Nastya also told that your cars and houses are painted in different colors. Where does the Lord send you and what berries did you want to gather for bright colors?

- There are entire plants, on which with the help of chemistry various paints are created. And as far as I know, no berries are used. It seems that some substances are extracted from oil, which dissolve various clays and sands.

- Batiushka told us that they take oils from Naphtha to lubricate the trolley wheels, which means that the Lord has advised your people on another use of naphtha.

- Yes. Oil makes a lot of things, but the main fuel is for cars and airplanes.

- Kovrov-planes? - Nastya beat me.

- Just planes. - Nick threw her head to the sky. - Look up. See the white line? It is at an altitude of ten kilometers flying plane. In it, people fly from one city to another. On airplanes you can fly over the ocean.

I first thought that it was people who were involved in the emergence of such bands, which I saw a lot when I was resting on haymaking.

“I’ll show you what kind of planes, rockets and cars are now.” - Nika got some shiny little thing out of her pants. I moved my finger there ... - This is ours with Volvo's dad.

This thing shone bright colors. On it is drawn a large barn.

- Volvo beautiful barn

- This is not a barn. This is our car! Mark its Volvo. - Well, do not barn. Let the car.What is so loud to say? I now carefully look at the car, near which there is a husband. The dark blue color of the car pleased me. But the barn, to which he was attached, did not like, some kind of dirty green color from him.

“Why was he tied to the barn?” Are you afraid of running away?

- But where do you see everything? This is a trailer in which various cargoes are transported. But I'm driving a tractor.

Yes, I recognized Nicky's face right away. She held on to the black wheel and smiled her tender smile.

- This is my own sister Vera. You will meet her later. She with Paul and I clever and beautiful.

In Vera, I liked that she was wearing a smart dress. True, the legs are not closed at all by the hem, but if the Lord has not punished her for this, then it means that it can be worn.

- Faith means older wife Paul? - Asked Nastya.

- If we assume that she is the first to fuck with him, then yes, the eldest. Then I, and after you. And here is the plane. - Nastya several times ran her finger on the glass things. - This is a plane that we, Pope, Vera, and I flew to the Olympics in Sochi this winter.

The mechanism reminded me of a row roll, which we folded to take to the market. Wings are attached to the scroll, but not like a bird, but like paws of pines and cedars. And again the colors make me happy. There is even my favorite - kumachy.

This color is in ruby ​​on the staff of Father Zechariah. Forest raspberry berries of the same color. I even tried to paint in rows with raspberries; it turned gray a few days after wearing clothes.

- But this is a rocket. Such people fly outside the atmosphere into space.

- Where? - Only now I realized what a lie it is.

Okay, they fly through the holes in the dome. Incredible, but possible. But they will burn there! But everyone knows that in summer, the hole which the Lord named as the Sun, approaches the surface of the Earth, and the cosmic heat reaches the ground. So sometimes the Lord is close to close the hole, that even at night the inferno does not cool. And then a rocket, yes into space? Bullshit! And what are they breathing there?

And then she showed it! I immediately understood! Yes, this is the God-men-sinners depict any devilry, and backward sinners believe them. On a dark blue background figurines. And so like angels! Without wings FALL!

Likov is not visible, because the Bogomaz depicted them with halos. Nymbas are not bright as the faces on our icons, but black ones. Dressed those people do not understand what, which Nika named as ... spacesuit. Bright points are also visible. Nick said it was a star. Generally a fairy tale. Why should the Lord create two domes? It's expensive! It's like building another hut over another!

And then I remembered that we undertook to work, and not to listen to fairy tales.

- Sisters, we need to finish with the cakes and take up the spinning flax. The Lord does not love their idle slaves.

- Yes. Stop looking, and then the battery is discharged. - Nick said some devilry. One can see cow dung on her badly acting. But nothing sister, the Lord will help me put you on the right path.

Nick can't spin! She said that she would cook an evening meal, referred to as dinner. Nastya showed where we have the iron, grip, other utensils. This is what Nika is doing. Soon the fragrant smells of fried potatoes with onions spread in the hut.

When, having prayed with Nastya, we broke into the meal, Nick said that it would be tasty if the potatoes had pickles, bacon or sausage. I remembered that there are salty tomatoes in our glacier. She took a bowl, went to the cellar. And it really did taste better. She named fat from pigs, especially salted with pepper and aromatic herbs. Even the drooling flowed in three of us, as she was interesting to tell about the salting of lard.

I played it out, said that the loaf of bread can be imagined as a layer of lard, sprinkled it with salt, dill. Laughing, we ate two pieces of such "bacon".

When we sat down to spin on, sister Nick washed the dishes. She said that she would look at other houses of the monastery.

Nastya and I discussed her lies about space. Then we prayed to the Lord that he would give reason to Nike. Such a pleasant and cheerful maiden. She came back to us and said that some things needed to be transferred to the house of prayer.Because the monastery will remain unattended and may descend ... thieves, to pull away our dowry.

Glass lamps from each house and bath. Spinning wheels for flax. Copper samovar. Faces of the saints from each house, Nick ordered to wrap a row. Caring, knows that you need to take care of icons. In-line rolls prepared for sale. Koda flax Nika ordered to cram into bags. She wants to learn to spin. It turned out five bags tightly packed with fiber.

It's time to milk the cows. Morning milk has already settled, you can beat the butter. Behind such worries they did not notice how the sun disappeared behind the forest. But even at dusk it was easy to work, especially with the help of Niki.

And then the sounds of angels sounded. Nastya and I froze, listening to where they come from. Nicka again got the little thing she calls ... a smartphone. And I heard my husband's voice. I hear a voice, but I don’t see myself.

And Nika talks to him, listens to what he says, broadcasts to him about us. And when Paul called us, I was delighted with this — as if the Lord had led me in my hand. But I didn’t know what to answer right away, said a simple “Yes”.

It was Sister Anne’s responsibility to chop a bird’s head, who read a prayer before beheading God's creation. And since Nick does not know a single prayer, I had to. Asking the Lord for a blessing, she cut off the head of the kure. Nastya kept the carcass upside down, and I began to read a prayer for blessing on the cabin of the next chapter.

We should not disobey our husband, so only two birds we cut off the heads, pluck, gut, and burn down in the furnace. Under the Lord's blessing we carry the carcasses to the glacier, to the very heaps of ice. It is already dark around us, we and the sisters fit in the house with Nastya and me, where papa identified us, when he ordered mothers to call us sisters. Nastya and I sat on my bed, and Nick went to bed with Nastya.
