own hair and pulled with all my might I pulled and we rose over the sedge! I will sign, I will! Why invite trouble. Since nobody needs an extra Spring day Iet's forget it. On such a day it is hard to live but easy to die. In five minutes, dear friends, Baron Munchhausen will be no more. Baron, my dear, there is a bright side to everything! At least the town will cease laughing at you. A pity! I was not afraid to seem funny. Not every one can afford it. Before we part I have one more idea. You will all laugh. Karl. Please, Karl. Karl! - Don't! - Karl! Baron! - I beg you, Karl! - Baron! Baron! END OF EPISODE ONE No one in the world will ever be able to fill the gaping abyss left by the departure of such a man. But it is our duty to try to make up for our loss. Every one shall try to do so to the best of his ability. So, gentlemen, that is almost all. Three years have passed since the day The heart of baron Munchhausen Stopped beating. Throughout the three years the famous hero has been living in the hearts of his noble countrymen. And let this monument that we are unveiling in his honour become the symbol... - The symbol is too inexpressive a word. - OK, let it become not merely a symbol. - That's better. Let it become not merely a symbol of selfless love of this town for one of its townsfolk It will be better to say "for its great son". That is better. Let it become a source of courage, bravery, a spring if optimism which will never cease to well out... - Rather to spurt. But a spring usually wells out. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it spurts. In this case it is better to say "spurt". Good. It is not merely good. It is noble. Is it? lf I were dead he wouldn't say the same about me. I wonder what will people be saying about me at my funeral? Let's wait and see. Well, today is better. What time is it, Thomas? The clock struck 3, the baron fell - 2. That makes one. What nonsense! You must add. 3 plus 2. We were to add then, but now it is better to subtract. - Your highness, you are sure to remember this story. - I do. In the heat of the battle the baron did not notice that his horse had been cut in two. The one with the cherry tree on its forehead? Yes, only it was a deer and a different story. Hold on. And in this story the baron rode ahead on the front half of the horse and he discovered it only at the watering-place. The horse could not drink enough. It drank but the water spilled out. It drank and the water spilled out. Freely. - And the back half? - What about the back half? - What was the back half doing? - Grazing nearby. To what half shall we make a monument? We had the first half in mind. - It will be a funny monument, your highness. - A symbol, in a way. - I would put it differently: a joke. - A metaphor. With the words "Let it flow in the soul of every German" water shall start flowing from the horse. This way, gentlemen! Please. Please have a look at the model. Although water flows here at the scale 1 to 10. - Funny. - Yes, yes. - On the whole, gentlemen, I like it. - Very good, very. - An expressive design. - Yes, yes. It's a pity that it is only one half. And what if we take the liberty Of eliminating - Or bringing closer? - Putting together. So... It looks even funnier. A lot. And the water will start flowing at once. Where shall the water flow? From what place? Water will not flow from Munchhausen, gentlemen. No need. He is dear to us simply as Munchhausen, as Karl Friedrich Hieronymus And whether his horse drinks water or doesn't drink water that is none of our business. It is not a desert. Gentlemen, as you know our beloved baron Munchhausen left his mark in the heart of every citizen of Hanover! He did not forget about our cowgirls either. Our dear little Bertha will share her memories of the deceased with us! Let us wish her success! I was a simple cowgirl, I ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Вкус зелёного чая после риса на английском - текст Мой научный проект на английском - текст Хищник на английском - текст Родня на английском - текст Жидкое небо на английском |
