Short story about purchasing
ART
(Russian traditional)
Father
and daughter decided to bye a painting for Mom at her birthday.
They went to the
shop and asked, if they have any paintings for sale. No,
sorry, sold out. They went to the next art gallery. -Any art
for sale? - No, sorry. In the third gallery - the
same.
They were really
upset, and were already on the way home, but the salesman said
- Hold on! I have one painting for myself, but if you like it,
you can have it. Father with daughter liked the piece of art a
lot and purchased it.
They mounted
the painting in the bedroom and were happy about it. But the
same night, mother woke up because someone's hands were
touching her. She started to scream and realized, that the
hands belong to painting. Father took his knife and cut couple
fingers, and the hands let mom go.
Next day they took
the painting to the salesman back. He said, I ll return the
money! But he had two fingers cut off!
Our family called
the police with a handy and weirdo was arrested!
What happened with
a painting - we do not know.
