'Pop
Tilică, tell me, please, how can one recognize a poisonous serpent?... '
Scratching his
nape and giving it a little thought, our friend answered:
'Well,
dear child, to give you a simple answer: if a serpent bites you and you live
longer than 30 minutes, than it wasn’t poisonous! If not, then you can no
longer find out, and frankly, there’s no reason to it... Do you understand?'
Tiddlekin Babacu
nodded somewhat satisfied. Then, in a bout of curiosity, Pop Tilică asked
Babane, the eldest of the Ostrogoths:
'And
what are you studying in school these days?'
'Physics,
Chemistry, Maths, Foreign Languages, French, English, and now Advanced Algebra...
'
Amazed by the
many things that Babane was studying, Pop Tilică exclaimed:
'Good for
you! And how do you say 'good afternoon' in that algebra?... '
