She is Louise - стр. 14
When Galina approached the house, she found the girl sitting on the doorstep with her arms around her knees. "Isn't she crying? I don't remember my Louise ever crying at all".
– Is everything all right?" the old woman asked timidly, stroking the girl's back.
– Yes, it's just…" she mumbled. – Galya, this is love…
– What? What are you talking about, honey? " Galina didn't understand. Louise is only twelve, and the time is definitely not yet right.
– The time has come, " Louise objected in response to these thoughts. – But there are no wings. That doesn't matter, though.
– Louise, wings have nothing to do with love. Nor with first love. Tell me, who is he?
– I don't know it myself, Mother. Our eyes met for only a few tiny moments. But I am different now.
– You've met a real human boy?
– He's Niels. That's his name.
– And do you need him?
– I need him badly.
– Do you? Well, I can't help you now. But here's what you're gonna do: Go to the border and cross the border into the City. There's a lot of streets – find a store on any of them and buy a newspaper. Bring it to me.
– Are you, uh… seriously? " the girl couldn't believe her ears. – I'm going to the City? To the people? That's unbelievable!
– Yes. Here, take five coins to pay for the paper. Go on, go on.
– I… of course I'm going!
There was no trace of her former sadness. The girl threw on her polka-dot jacket (it was already evening, and the cool breeze was making itself felt) and ran down the path again. To think that for so many years she had dreamed of going to the City! There are many, many people there: men, women, schoolchildren, old people and babies. Louise would see a new, vast world. And in it, that's where Niels lives.
– Roxy, are you sure you want to do this? " Evie asked her friend. They were on their way home.
– Of course I am. I want to be consul or minister of the City. I want to rule for real.
– What if they don't believe us? Or it turns out there's really no one abroad? What then?
– But we've seen it all ourselves! Yes?
Thea just nodded, and the boy shrugged. Sure, Roxy wasn't a bad girl, but power games were a risky business…
No one knew there were two different worlds.
Niels slept and saw Louise's eyes, while Louise herself ran to the border. Some paths seemed to lead them to each other. This is how marvelous stories are supposed to begin.
After the entertaining scene, the Tree said to its butterfly helper "Thank you". It respected its world. It is only a pity that the play about salvation did not make a proper impression on the frightened schoolchildren. They did not realize that good and evil do not exist. They are one. And the world of people and nature should also become the same.
