Nikola Tesla: Moeto detstvo

Mojot najdobar drugar vo detstvoto be{e mojot ma~or, najgolem i

najubav vo svetot. Toj me slede{e na sekoj ~ekor. Me saka{e i se

griè{e za mene. Koga mu se ~ine{e deka sum vo opasnost, se eè{e,

go svitkuva{e grbot i stanuva{e pogolem i postra{en!

Od nego begaa site, i lu|eto i ìvotnite!

Moeto ubavo detstvo }e be{e u{te posre}no ako nemav i neprijatel,

silen, nemilosrden i nepomirliv. Toa be{e na{iot gusok, golem i

grd, so vrat na noj, so krokodilska usta i so umni i itri o~i. Toj sé

znae{e i razbira{e kako ~ovek. Toj mi stana ve~en neprijatel zatoa

{to nekolku pati frlav po nego so kam~iwa. [tom }e se pojavev vo

dvorot kaj ̀ ivinata, gusokot me brka{e, me fa}a{e za pantolonite,

me trga{e.

Koga }e me izbrka{e od dvorot, toj pobedni~ki mafta{e so kriljata

i graka{e so seta sila, na radost na drugite guski.

Majka mi mí vele{e: „Zapamti, ako gi navredi{ petelot i gusokot,

tie }e pametat i nema da ti prostat.‟

(Del od pismoto koe Nikola Tesla mu go ispratil na edno 12-godi{no

devoj~e, Poli, kako odgovor na nejzinoto pismo da í raskaè za

negovoto detstvo.)
