An old Aesop story about two mice living very different lives.
One values excitement, the other values peace.
Sometimes friendships fade not because anyone is wrong, but because happiness means different things to different people.

The never-ending fairy tales land🧚🏻‍♂️

Swan lake ( Chapter 4)

“这倒叫我有点紧张…我打不出哈欠来了…”小王子红着脸说。
"That frightens me... I cannot, any more..." murmured the little prince, now completely abashed.
“嗯！嗯！”国王回答道：“那么我…命令你忽而打哈欠，忽而…”
"Hum! Hum!" replied the king. "Then I – I order you sometimes to yawn and sometimes to–"
他嘟嘟囔囔，显出有点恼怒。
He sputtered a little, and seemed vexed.
因为国王所要求的主要是保持他的威严受到尊敬。
For what the king fundamentally insisted upon was that his authority should be respected.
他不能容忍不听他的命令。
He tolerated no disobedience.
他是一位绝对的君主。
He was an absolute monarch.
可是，他却很善良，他下的命令都是有理智的。

But, because he was a very good man, he made his orders reasonable.
“如果我命令一个将军,”他会说,举个例子,“如果我命令一个将军改变自己变成一个海鸟,”
"If I ordered a general," he would say, by way of example, "if I ordered a general to change himself into a sea bird,"
而这位将军不服从我的命令，那么这就不是将军的过错，而是我的过错。”
and if the general did not obey me, that would not be the fault of the general. It would be my fault.
小王子腼腆地试探道：“我可以坐下吗？”
"May I sit down?" came now a timid inquiry from the little prince.
“我命令你坐下。”国王一边回答，一边庄重地把他那白底黑花皮袍大襟挪动了一下。
"I order you to do so," the king answered him, and majestically gathered in a fold of his ermine mantle.
可是小王子感到很奇怪。
But the little prince was wondering...
这么小的行星，国王他对什么进行统治呢？
The planet was tiny. Over what could this king really rule?
他对国王说：“陛下…请原谅，我想问您…”
"Sire," he said to him, "I beg that you will excuse my asking you a question..."
国王急忙抢着说道：“我命令你问我。”
"I order you to ask me a question," the king hastened to assure him.
陛下…你统治什么呢？
Sire–over what do you rule?
国王非常简单明了地说：“我统治一切。”
"Over everything," said the king, with magnificent simplicity.
一切？
Over everything?
国王轻轻地用手指着他的行星和其他的行星，以及所有的星星。
The king made a gesture, which took in his planet, the other planets, and all the stars.
小王子说：“统治这一切？”
"Over all that?" asked the little prince.
“统治这一切。”国王回答。
"Over all that," the king answered.
原来他不仅是一个绝对的君主，而且是整个宇宙的君主。
For his rule was not only absolute: it was also universal.
那么，星星都服从您吗？
And the stars obey you?
“那当然！”国王对他说，“它们立即就得服从。我是不允许无纪律的。”

Business (and everyday!) common idioms series: Episode 3

Привет, друзья! Это мой подкаст «По-русски легко»! Поговорим о различиях в социальном взаимодействии русских и французов.
Когда я изучала французский язык и готовилась к экзамену DELF B2, то мой преподаватель сказал, что я грубый человек. Он сказал, что я не соблюдаю правила вежливости. И не использую французские формулы вежливости (Je n'utilise pas les formules de politesse françaises). Почему? Потому что мы, русские, не говорим так много длинных вежливых фраз, как французы. Чтобы поблагодарить, мы говорим: «Спасибо!» или «Большое спасибо!». И этого достаточно. Если мы хотим выразить недовольство качеством услуг или написать претензию, то мы никогда не благодарим контрагента за хорошую работу. И это логично. Если мы недовольны тем, как работает контрагент, почему мы должны говорить «спасибо»?
В обычной жизни, когда мы выражаем отказ, то тоже не говорим много вежливых слов. Но поверьте, этого достаточно, чтобы быть вежливым в России.
Например, мы можем сказать: СпасИ́бо, не нУ́жно (Spasybo, nie noujno). Merci, pas besoin.
СпасИ́бо, нет. (Spasybo, niet). Merci, non.
ИзвинИ́, сейчА́с я не могУ́. (Yzvyny, ya seytchas nie mogou).  Désolé, je ne peux pas en ce moment.
Мне жА́ль, но Э́то невозмО́жно.  (Mnie jal, no eto nievozmojno). Désolé, mais ce n’est pas possible. 
Я устА́л. Может, потО́м? (Ya oustal. Mojet, potom?). Je suis fatigué. Peut-être plus tard?
ИзвинИ́, но я сейчА́с О́чень зА́нят. (Yzvyny, no ya seytchas otchen zanyat). Désolé, mais je suis très occupé.
Надеюсь, вам было интересно немного узнать о русской вежливости. Желаю вам успехов в изучении русского языка!
