The viscountess began to clap her hands and chirped:

  - That's so much better! You really can sing well my boy!

  Gulliver bowed and replied:

  - Yes! I love the Most High God Jesus Christ, and of course the Most Holy Theotokos!

  The girl nodded with a smile.

  - It's lovely! Here, please sing about the Most Holy Theotokos, so that everything is bright and beautiful!

  The boy stamped, barefoot, a child's foot and sang;

  Holy, Blessed Virgin Mary

  She gave birth to the Savior, gave us light.

  But your children are barefoot in winter -

  And in dirty basements we meet a hungry dawn!

  After all, how did it happen that the world is tormented by evil,

  That there are more poor people than in the grassy fields of locusts.

  That even plants freeze from the cold in May,

  What is the most common answer - if you are poor, then dance!

  It's a pity to give a copper penny to the rich,

  Although their mammon swollen to the limits of decency ...

  Their main mentor over us is an oak stick -

  But it will be a roar when the cock crows!

  The Lord commanded you to share the rich -

  So that there are no dead and crying does not torment God's Hearing.

  Help who is weak - kind faces speak from the icons,

  If you are merciful - the lighthouse on the path to paradise has not gone out!

  But many mamons and souls and salvation are more precious,

  They say that gold will buy saints!

  A vile face swam from the fat of the usurer -

  And a heart without peace is cold granite!

  What is your pain to us - meager people?

  In palaces, we don"t even hear moans!

  Do you want shelter? Yes, you will have a shelter

  Under the prison roof in hard labor!

  Why give it to you, to us

  What have we successfully taken by force?

  You were nothing and forever nothing

  Not for you the sky was given!

  But death suddenly came to them,

  As the Almighty Creator taught!

  Now they're where Satan burns

  Where the traitor creaks and roars from suffering!

  So you decided the Almighty was joking -

  Saying, the generous will be exalted?

  And that Jesus himself the Creator incarnate,

  Was it not right to say that they would eat the belongings of evil mice?

  Repent, reading the prayer of Mary,

  And falling to his knees and repenting - groaning!

  When a child cries before you,

  And the barefoot girl is shaking from the cold!

  Take your tight and mean purse

  Yes, they sleep off the money with a smile.

  Then Jesus God of Love will guide

  And will not let you fall down the unsteady path!

  The girl clapped her pretty, very graceful hands, exclaiming:

  - Bravo! It is wonderful!

  Gulliver, this eternal child asked:

  - Can you sing too?

  The viscountess nodded her bright head like a spring dandelion and sang:

  You only see what you want to see.

  But how can life be the way you imagine it to be?

  Your heart is an ice block, and for me it is closed.
