Ivan.Ivanych.Rapkin, a pleasant young man, and Anna.Semyonovna.Zambritskaya, a young girl with an upturned nose, walked down the steep bank together and sat down on a bench.The bench stands by the water and is hidden in the dense willow bushes.What a wonderful place!If you sit here, you will be isolated from the world, and the only people who can see you are the fish and the water spiders running around like lightning on the water.The young couple carried fishing rods, dip nets, small jars for earthworms and other fishing gear with them.After sitting down, they immediately started fishing. I'm so glad we are alone at last, began Lupkin, looking around, I have a lot to tell you, Anna.Semyonovna said many, many words When I saw you for the first time, the fish bit your hook, I immediately understood: why I am alive, where is my idol, to whom should I sacrifice my innocence? A hard-working life that bites the hook may be a big fish After I saw you, I fell in love with someone for the first time, and I was crazy in love!Tell me, my dear, I swear to you, can I count on it, I don't count on mutual love, no!I don't deserve this, I don't even dare to think that I can count on you to pull the pole!

Anna.Semyonovna lifted the fishing rod she was holding, pulled it hard, and screamed, and a small silver-green fish shone in the air. OMG, a bass!Heh, heh quick!It's time to unhook! The perch broke free from the hook, jumped on the grass, and instinctively fled towards its satisfactory home, and then fell into the water with a plop! Lapkin hurried to catch the fish, missed the fish and caught Anna somehow by accident.Semyonovna's hand, inadvertently brought it to her lips, but it was too late: their mouths were inadvertently pressed together, and they kissed.This was a bit of a surprise.After the kiss, there was still a kiss, and after that, it was a vow of eternal love, and it was a happy moment to confide in my heart!But, then again, there is no absolute happiness in this worldly life.Happiness itself contains poison, or is poisoned by foreign things.This time too.When the two young men were kissing passionately, there was a sudden burst of laughter. They looked at the river, and both were shocked: a naked boy stood waist-high in the water.His name is Kolya, a high school student, Anna.Semyonovna's younger brother.He stood in the river, looked at the two young men, and smiled strangely.

Oops!Where are you kissing?He said, yes!I told mom to go. I hope, you, as a decent man, Rupkin blushed and began to mutter, peeking at other people's behavior is despicable, and snitching is even more obscene, abominable, odious, I thought, a decent and noble person like you Give me a ruble and I won't talk!The noble man replied, otherwise, I will tell my mother to go. Rapkin took a ruble from his pocket and handed it to Kolya.The opponent pinched the ruble in his wet palm, whistled, and swam away.The next couple of lovers don't want to kiss anymore. The next day Rapkin brought Kolya paints and a ball from the city.My sister first gave him all her pill boxes and then had to give him some buttons with the dog's face on them.The bad boy, obviously liked the set, and started spying on them in order to get more presents.He followed Lapkin and Anna wherever they went, and did not leave them alone for a minute.

Badass!Lapkin gritted his teeth and said, at such a young age, he is already so bad!What will he be when he grows up? ! Throughout June Kolya denied the poor lovers a single day of life.He threatened to tell the truth, kept following him, and begged for all kinds of gifts.He always felt that the gifts were too light, so he always picked up his pocket watch in the end.Oh, what can I do?I had to agree to give him a piece. Once, when they were having lunch, Kolya burst into laughter when the servants brought out the waffles, and with one eye winked, he asked Rapkin: say?ah? Rapp, red all over, chewed his napkin like a waffle.Anna jumped up from behind the desk and ran into another room.

In this situation the young couple remained until the end of August, until the day when Rapkin finally proposed to Anna.Ah, what a happy day it is!Rapkin had talked to Anna's parents, and after obtaining their consent, the first thing he did was to run into the garden to find Kolya.After finding him, Rapkin was so happy that he almost burst into tears.He grabbed the bad boy by the ear.Anna.Semyonovna also ran to Kolya and grabbed his other ear.Now it was Kolya's turn to cry and beg them: Dear, good man, loved one, I will never do it again!Ouch, ouch, spare me! At this time, the smug expressions on the faces of a pair of lovers are really worth seeing.

The young couple later confessed that, throughout their courtship, they had never experienced such bliss, such intoxicating ecstasy, that they had felt when they grabbed the bad boy by the ear.
