Pen - "What is needed to read Stump?"

      Let us ask ourselves a rhetorical question:
 grew up: "What is needed to read Stump?"

             A cup of hot coffee;         
             Warm and fluffy blanket;

      While the communities were small and
 socialized, the borders of the tribe seemed human-
 where the limit of the world, customs and prohibitions were
 still absolute: there was nothing to compare with
 vat. Isolated attempts to break the routine
 life was accompanied by cruel spiritual
 suture breaks; their echo was felt
 even in ancient tragedies.

 that the customs of other nations differ from theirs

 I'm breathing. Now I'll stay on dry land.

      Now he moves a stone, another stone
 less, more than mine, smoother with one
 sides.  There's more space underneath, more
 coolness. He moves the stone towards mine and
 crawls under it, hides from the sun.
 He looks at me for a long time.                   
                                I'm angry.
