Maxim Gorky

"Im going to ask Grandma where the bandits hide out, so i can run away and join then, then you'll all be sorry. Will you come with me?"
I couldn't go with him, as i had my own ambition - to be an officer with a large, shinning beard, and for this it was necessary to go to school. When i told this plan to my cousin he agreed with me, after a moments reflection:
"Nothing wrong with that. When your an officer, i shall be a robber chief, and you'll have to capture me, and one of us will have to kill the other, or else take him prisoner. But i would'nt kill you........'
"i wouldn't kill you either."
And so it was all decided.
