Nina Dashevskaya “Ladybugs”
“Stories on teabags”
- Musya, what is your favorite animal?
- Ladybug, of course! Don’t you see?
Of course everybody sees this! Even on Musya’s bathing suit there are ladybugs, twelve of them. Musya came with her mom and dad to the sea, to teach her ladybugs to swim. At first, they were scared of the waves, and it didn’t work out for them. By then they learned, all twelve. And after a week you couldn’t take them out of the water, and Musya too.
But here was time to leave. Musya was packing up her baggage, and then she noticed: the ladybugs disappeared! All twelve! The bathing suit was there, but the ladybugs weren’t!
- Oh, - said mom, - indeed I washed it so unlucky?!
Musya thought differently. That why she didn’t cry.
Long time they sat in the airport; the airplane was coming late. Musya pushed her nose to the window and saw, why. Through the aerodrome crawled a small orange snake, and all the airplanes let it through. The snake crawled closer, and then you could see that it was twelve little ladybugs crawling one-by-one. They busily crawled over the aerodrome and cut up with Musya’s family on the airplane steps. Musya opened her baggage and the ladybugs happily hopped in.
At home all twelve of ladybugs were on Musya’s bathing suit. But their look was a little bit guilty. Because they really wanted to swim for the last time before they flew away, that they almost were late on the plane!
- Fine, - said Musya, - OK. I would have to sign up with you to a swimming pool!
