Nikola Tesla: Moeto detstvo
Mojot najdobar drugar vo detstvoto be{e mojot ma~or, najgolem i
najubav vo svetot. Toj me slede{e na sekoj ~ekor. Me saka{e i se
gri`e{e za mene. Koga mu se ~ine{e deka sum vo opasnost, se e`e{e,
go svitkuva{e grbot i stanuva{e pogolem i postra{en!
Od nego begaa site, i lu|eto i `ivotnite!
Moeto ubavo detstvo }e be{e u{te posre}no ako nemav i neprijatel,
silen, nemilosrden i nepomirliv. Toa be{e na{iot gusok, golem i
grd, so vrat na noj, so krokodilska usta i so umni i itri o~i. Toj sé
znae{e i razbira{e kako ~ovek. Toj mi stana ve~en neprijatel zatoa
{to nekolku pati frlav po nego so kam~iwa. [tom }e se pojavev vo
dvorot kaj ̀ ivinata, gusokot me brka{e, me fa}a{e za pantolonite,
me trga{e.
Koga }e me izbrka{e od dvorot, toj pobedni~ki mafta{e so kriljata
i graka{e so seta sila, na radost na drugite guski.
Majka mi mí vele{e: „Zapamti, ako gi navredi{ petelot i gusokot,
tie }e pametat i nema da ti prostat.‟
(Del od pismoto koe Nikola Tesla mu go ispratil na edno 12-godi{no
devoj~e, Poli, kako odgovor na nejzinoto pismo da í raska`e za
negovoto detstvo.)
