Indiscreet

George Dometi
Do you have cheese? Yes, but it's Turda cheese. Do you want some? Is it good? Of course. Do you want some? Is it made from organic cows' milk? Yes, it is. Do you want some? Do you feed them fodder? Yes, of course. Do you want some? Do you also give them pumpkins? Of course. Do you want some? Green grass, dry hay. Yes. Do you want some cheese? Do you milk them by hand? By hand. Do you want some? Do you use curd? Yes. Do you want some? How long do you boil the whey? As much as necessary. Do you want some? Do they mate? Of course. Do you want some? I have one last question. When was the last time they gave birth? This year. Do you want some? First calving? Yes. So, do you want some cheese? No, I was just asking.

In a village, a donkey decided he didn't like the color of the sky and went to the waterhole to ask for a greenish tint. On the way, he met a sheep who told him that the sky is a lace hat. Inspired, the donkey began to crochet a cloud from her wool. A young ram approached her and politely asked her how old she was. From a spectacle case, the mice gathered at the conference on galactic politics shouted to the ram: You are indiscreet. She feels like she's one year old. The sheep, blushing, disappeared in a snowflake.

Bucovina is beautiful, more than beautiful in fact, beacause after you pass Câmpulung it starts to smell of wealth, that's why we stayed at Perla Rarăului hotel. Even if we are poor, we said to be like the bourgeois. They welcomed us with smiles, blueberry brandy, pie, wine, bellows cheese. I asked how much it costs, they told me not to worry. They gave me stew, I asked again how much it costs, they said again not to worry. Copious dessert, I was curious about the price, they told me to relax. I asked for a menu, they didn't have one, but that's no problem. In the end they asked me for 800 lei, yes Bucovina is beautiful, indeed.
