EP 42. MUCHO VS MUY

Человека, который поздно ложиться спать, называют совой, потому что сова - это ночная птица, то есть она не спит ночью. Её дом - лес. У неё круглая голова и большие глаза. 
Человека, который не любит вставать поздно, называют жаворонком. Жаворонок - это маленькая птичка, громкое и мелодичное пение которой можно услышать  рано утром. 
К какому типу людей относитесь вы? Любите просыпаться ближе к середине дня или предпочитаете ранние подъёмы? 

Ты со мной? 

Сова и жаворонок

The story continues in its weird and wonderful way as Mary reads about Dr Landey's plan for her husband's brain!

Will and Mary Part 4

Мой старый друг, мой верный Дьявол,
Пропел мне песенку одну:
— Всю ночь моряк в пучине плавал,
А на заре пошёл ко дну.

Кругом вставали волны-стены,
Спадали, вспенивались вновь,
Пред ним неслась, белее пены,
Его великая любовь.

Он слышал зов, когда он плавал:
«О, верь мне, я не обману»…
Но помни, — молвил умный Дьявол, —
Он на заре пошёл ко дну. —

1906 г.
