The Valley of Dream

The bright and warm beam of the sun has shined a valley and has filled in with light city. Inhabitants have quickly borrowed in the affairs: old women occupied benches and discussed already existing gossips or invented new; magicians assiduously collected grasses and filled up stocks for the winter. People restored houses or were engaged in housekeeping, children carefree ran at a marge of a wood, and the youth sat at a fountain or chose a new place - the altar now was very popular and was maintained for a card play.

Especially beautifully on the sun the Valley which is being between two cities looked, its inhabitants have named the Valley of Dream. About fifty years ago the Valley did not divide city, and was its center. The city was divided into two about ten years ago, but officially this fact has not been registered anywhere.

The window had a seventeen-year-old girl and considered an opening kind: happy inhabitants and serene day. At a door has knocked, and the female voice has chilly said:
- For you wait.
- Already … So it is fast? - The girl was surprised.
- Yes, - the same voice has sharply and insensitively told.

The girl was developed and has brushed away from a cheek involuntarily appeared tear, but on its place has appeared following. The step of the little girl was slow, uncertain as though it tried to delay time, to slow down. It has stood пред the closed door of a hall for negotiations, has wiped tears, has sighed and has opened a door:
- Excuse, misters, - the voice of the girl became assured and rigid.
- We shall start, - has told the man and has stretched parchment.
- It agrees only with these conditions? - The little girl has again asked again.
- Yes, - has coldly answered the man and has submitted to it a feather. - Otherwise war is inevitable.

Has signed. Now the city is officially divided. Now it queen of city but why so it is bad in a shower?

This document has brought for the signature to the guy in the evening. It has word for word repeated questions of the girl and has received the same answers. Now it king. Omnipotent, omnipotent and almighty king. Then, what not so?

The city is halved. The valley … to divide the Valley did not become. It is forbidden to inhabitants of both cities to visit the Valley. Therefore, in day of signing of the document inhabitants of two cities have named the Valley - the Valley of Dream.
