Poslušajte! Ved', esli zvezdy zažigajut - značit - ėto komu-nibud' nužno? Značit - kto-to chočet, čtoby oni byli? Značit - kto-to nazyvaet ėti plevočki žemčužinoj? I, nadryvajas' v meteljach poludennoj pyli, vryvaetsja k bogu, boitsja, čto opozdal, plačet, celuet emu žilistuju ruku, prosit - čtob objazatel'no byla zvezda! - kljanetsja - ne pereneset ėtu bezzvezdnuju muku! A posle chodit trevožnyj, no spokojnyj naružno. Govorit komu-to: ъVed' teper' tebe ničego? Ne strašno? Da?!ъ Poslušajte! Ved', esli zvezdy zažigajut - značit - ėto komu-nibud' nužno? Značit - ėto neobchodimo, čtoby každyj večer nad kryšami zagoralas' chot' odna zvezda?!
