The Adventures of Dennis [antikvár]

THINGS I LIKE I like to lie on my stomach, slung over Daddy's knee, with my arms and legs dangling like wash on a line. I like to play chess, checkers and dominoes, but only if I win. If I don't, I don't. I like to listen to a beetle scratching inside a box. And on Sundays I like to crawl into bed beside Daddy so we can talk about our dog. As soon as we move to a bigger apartment we're going to buy a dog and train it, and feed it, and it'll be a very intelligent and bouncy dog, and it'll steal lump sugar, and I'll wipe up all its puddles, and it'll follow me around like a devoted dog. I also like to watch TV, no matter what the program's about. I like to breathe into Mommy's ear. But most of all I like to sing, and I always sing very loudly. I love stories about Red Army cavalrymen who always win their battles. I like to stand in front of the mirror and make faces like a Punch and Judy show. I also like sardines. I like to read stories about Kanchil. Kanchil is a small, smart, naughty gazelle with quick eyes and tiny horns, and shiny pink hooves. When we move to a bigger apartment we'll buy a gazelle, and it'll live in the bathroom.
