Ostrovsky. Apple orchard.

Summer, August, evening. After the daytime exhausting heat came the long-awaited coolness. The sweet and intoxicating aroma of blooming apple trees spreads through the air.

Is there a better time and place for a date of love? And the fact that the meeting secretly adds ostriches and courage to the newly enamored.

She is a very enviable bride. And the grooms already wore a general. Only you can not order your heart.

The young clerk, first, young, and, secondly, good-looking. He though poor, but very honest and reliable.

But my grandmother was very cool. The son is a drunkard and has been eating, only waiting for an opportunity to draw out more money from her. There is no hope for him.

Therefore, the happiness of her granddaughter meets her own head. And he does not want to see anyone else, except the general, in his sons-in-law.

Granddaughter does not lag behind. She is all in the grandmother. But neither the beat of the plates, nor the slamming of the doors, nor the cries will be in sight.

Before the swearing, when everyone around is in love?

The happiness of the young rescues suddenly appeared decrepit old-looking. Terrible, with military bearing, came to work as a watchman.

Yes, only long ago he has his place right in the grandmother's heart. True love is not forgotten. The icy heart here melts.

Happiness is better. The best thing.
