Re: Загадка про...
"Come to see the elephant, farm boy? Found it ain't a pretty sight, haven't you?" A gruff voice behind him made him jump. He turned to find two Confederate soldiers carrying a third in a blanket slung between them. One was taller and had a cut on his cheek, the other shorter with broad shoulders. The soldier in the blanket was thin and pallid. All three were ragged and dirty, their faces smeared with black powder and couldn't be much older than his sister. "This ain't a circus," he said confused by the comment and trying not to throw up in front of them and embarrass himself. He backed a few steps up the lane. The shorter man chuckled derisively. "No it ain't." "See the elephant means see the war, boy," the tall one continued.
