НОВОЕ ПЛАТЬЕ ЛУНЫ

 

Молодой Луне пришла в голову прекрасная мысль: “Почему бы мне не сшить себеновое платье? Ямогла бы в нем гулять по небу”, - и она отправилась к портному.

“Не могли бы вы сшитьмне новое платье? – спросила она. – Но оно должно хорошо сидеть”.

“Можете не беспокоиться, - ответил портной. – Оно будетпрекрасно сидеть. Вы такая молодая, такая тоненькая. Позвольте мне снять мерку”.

Когда он снял мерку, Луна спросила: “Когда мне приходитьна примерку?” И он велел ей прийти через неделю.

Однако платье оказалось слишком узким. “Должно быть, я плохо снял мерку, - подумал огорченный портной. – Теперь придется все делать сначала”.

Он опять снял мерку и велел Луне прийти через десять дней.

Платье снова оказалось узким, да и Луна выглядела теперь совсем иначе. “Неужели я опять ошибся?Или, может быть, она так потолстела? – огорчился портной, снимая мерку в третий раз. Ну, теперь все должно быть в порядке”.

Когда Луна пришла опять, это была уже полная Луна. “Это безобразие! – завопил портной. - Надо было предупредить меня,что у вас такая неустойчивая фигура. Не стану я для вас работать!”

Так Луне пришлось обойтись без нового платья.
