So we ve lived up to this

The sun means joy and laughter! Clouds mean happiness and love! A rain stands for friendship and hugs. Snow – for smiles and kisses. Only Uncle Henry began licking the earth.
What’s the matter? A thunderstorm is a sign of declaration of love. A hurricane means a coming wedding. A volcano’s eruption predicts much wealth. But Uncle Henry crawls on the ground the whole day and licks the earth.
Stop that! Uncle Henry, you’ve been crawling and licking the earth for so long, that your nose has rubbed away!
Indeed, his nose has rubbed away completely. Perhaps, he’s licked his own nose from the ground, too.
I’m not kidding. Come with us and drink a glass, Uncle Henry! We’ll make you a new nose. You’re gonna be a new man! Just stop licking the earth!
Happiness, joy, laughter, smile, friendship, love – here we’ve got everything! What have you found on this damned earth? But Uncle Henry, noseless, keeps on licking it.
Once we entered the barn where Uncle Henry spent nights, and we found him sleeping on a pile of cellophane films. Above the sleeping there was a dead horse hung to the ceiling. It was terribly stinking. Worms from the dead horse were dropping onto Uncle Henry, and some of them got into the two holes which earlier had been his nose. But he doesn’t care at all!
Weird you are, Uncle Henry! We have universal happiness, but you lick the earth, have no nose and sleep under a dead horse. But we love you anyway!
We drew Uncle Henry out of his barn and threw him into the sea. Maybe, he wouldn’t be licking the earth there?
We threw him down, and everything went okay again. Nobody licked the earth anymore. That’s fine! Now we are in absolute Paradise and we’re going to live forever!
Poor Uncle Henry! Why have we lived up to this?
