HOW THEY HAPPENED

LULLA-LULLABY. Verotchka’s one little eye is sleeping, the other little eye is still open. Verotchka’s one little ear is sleeping, the other little ear is still listening. Sleep, Verotchka, sleep, my pretty one, and father will tell you these stories. I think they are all here. The Siberian cat, Vasca; the shaggy village dog, Postoika; the gray mousie-gnawers; the cricket behind the stove; the iridescent starling in the cage; and the cock, the bully.

Sleep, Verotchka, the story begins. The full moon in the heaven looks into the window. The cock-eyed rabbit hops on his haunches and the wolf’s eyes flash yellow fire lights. The bear, Mishka, is sucking his paw, and the old sparrow flies up to the window, pecks the pane with his bill, and asks, “How soon, now?”

I think they’re all here now, waiting for Verotchka’s Tale.

Verotchka’s  one  little  eye  is  asleep , the other little eye is still open. Verotchka’s one little ear is asleep, the other little ear is still listening. Lulla-Lullaby.
