I once bought an aquarium.
With fish.
I sit...
I dine...
I study them...
for a day...
for two days...
for a week...
The water in the aquarium
is dirty...
It ought to be...
changed.
But I'm too lazy
to get up.
Go away.
Or I'll have to smack you...
Thank you, Vasya.
You're a true friend.
I see...
another fish has appeared.
I think... maybe it
should be separated?
But I don't want... to stand up.
It's grown completely beastly.
Poor Vasya.
My only friend.
I ought to help him.
Anyway... it's too late
already.
Poor... Vasya.
What's the meaning of this?
By what right?
I will prot-
I will compla-
Or maybe... I should try to
reach an understanding with it?
Or it could get angry...
and completely stop feeding me.
Not bad...
I think... gills have grown...
I should... protest...
But how?
My brain has become
the brain of a fish...
It's in no state
to think of anything...
But maybe... I don't
need to think of anything?
Why disturb the water?
I've already gotten used...
to the aquarium...
This place is also liveable.
Quiet...
Cozy...
I can adapt to anything.
As long as...
nobody touches me...
As long as...
they give me worms...
The End
