Armenian parable Man and snow fraternized. One day a man says to the snow:
- Before you come, warn me.
Winter began to approach. The man did not take care of himself, did not stock up on firewood, flour - in a word, did not prepare for winter. He thought like this: “If my brother wants to come, he will inform me. Then I’ll get ready for winter.”
One night the peasant woke up and was amazed: white snow covered the mountains and gorges, the whole world was covered as if with a carpet. The man stood up, opened the door and said:
- And this is our brotherhood, white dev?
Snow replied:
- What could I do? When I sat on the top of Mount Mravan, I was visible from all sides. Didn't you see me when I went down and sat on the top of Mount Kursin? Haven't you seen this too?
