Peter nodded. There were... «Глаза дракона»
JulieLukianets23 декабря 2021Peter nodded. There were only a few words that he could read, although he knew most of the Great Letters. This happened to be one of the words. “It says god.”
“Yes that’s right. Now write it backward and see what you find.”
“Backward?” Peter said doubtfully.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Peter did so, his letters staggering childishly across the slate below his mother’s neat printing. He was astounded to find another of the few words he could read.
DOG! Mamma! It says DOG!”
“Yes. It says dog.” The sadness in her voice quenched Peter’s excitement at once. His mother pointed from GOD to DOG. “These are the two natures of man,” she said. “Never forget them, because someday you will be King and Kings grow to be great and tall-as great and tall as dragons in their ninth moltings.”
