Sorochinskaya fair

Cherevik looked at the door at that time and, seeing his daughter dancing in front of the mirror, stopped. He looked for a long time, laughing at the unprecedented caprice of a girl who, lost in thought, did not seem to notice anything; but when he heard the familiar sounds of the song, the veins in him began to stir; proudly putting his hands on his hips, he stepped forward and began to squat down, forgetting about all his affairs. The loud laughter of the godfather made both flinch.
- That's good, father and daughter started a wedding here themselves! Go quickly: the groom has come!
At the last word, Paraska flashed brighter than the scarlet ribbon that tied her head, and her reckless father remembered why he had come.
- Well, daughter! let's go soon! Khivrya, with the joy that I sold the mare, ran, - he said, looking around fearfully, - ran to buy for herself chocks and sackcloths of all kinds, so it is necessary to finish everything before her arrival!
Before Paraska had time to cross the threshold of the hut, she felt herself in the arms of a young man in a white scroll, who with a heap of people was waiting for her in the street.
- God bless! - said Cherevik, folding their hands. - Let them live like wreaths!
