Umbrella and Squid
At the bottom of the ocean, where sun doesn't shine,
There lived strange and mysterious Squid.
He longingly thought about the sun's rays,
Which were not available to him.
Once the bottom current brought Umbrella,
Simple and ordinary, no one regretted its loss.
Squid, seeing Umbrella, decided to use this chance
For just one look at the sunlight.

He tightly grasped Umbrella with tentacles,
And together they began to float to the surface.
Squid was weak, but brave and purposeful,
He was determined to see the sun.
Fish passing by, and water snakes, and even plankton
Shouted to Squid that this is a total scam,
That fishermen will catch him and cook it in a pan,
But he did not believe the pessimists and envious persons.
Together with Umbrella, Squid continued to rise,
Until he saw the light playing on the surface of the water.
Waves splashed peacefully, rays were reflected, as in mirrors,
This sight was truly mesmerizing.
Having admired the light enough, Squid set off on his way back.
He plunged to his native bottom, and sat down in a chair,
Then poured a glass of wine and remembered sight of the sun.
Umbrella lay beside in case it needed again.
Here begins the most important place in our fable,
You need to concentrate.
Most readers are disappointed by such ending.
If no one has betrayed, killed or deceived anyone,
The fable becomes uninteresting.
But why?
Do we really enjoy only other people's suffering and nothing else?
Think about it.
As for Squid, he is still doing well.
He successfully married a young beauty and had many children,
Now he rises to the sun with the big family.
I repeat: Squid's life is great, don't expect a twist.
Control shot: his grandfather recently died in Switzerland
And left inheritance of five million dollars. Or even ten.
How do you like this, huh?
The original text was written by me in Russian. I haven't studied English systematically so the translation may not be ideal. The main work was done by Google Translate, I just corrected obvious absurdities, where I noticed them and where I did not confuse them with brilliant insights.
