    A train slowly pulled out of Berlin, filled with women and children, barely a sturdy man in sight. In one of the carriages, a gray-haired veteran of the wartime reservists sat a frail and sickly old woman. Apparently she was meditating alone, and the travelers heard her counting at the rock

    One, two, three......The sound drowned out the "click" of the wheels. After a pause, she repeated the count from time to time. When the two little girls saw this strange move, they pointed their fingers and laughed without thinking.

    An old man glanced at them fiercely, and then the carriage fell silent.

    One, two, three......The delirious old woman repeated. The two little girls snickered again. At this time, the gray-haired reserve veteran straightened up and spoke.

    Mademoiselle," he said, "you probably won't laugh any more when I tell you that this poor lady is my wife." We just lost three sons who died in the war. Now it's my turn to go to the front myself.

    Before I can go, I'm going to have to put their mother in Arkham Asylum. ”

    There was a terrible silence in the carriage.

    Note: "In Berlin" is a miniature ** written by American writer Olell. It reflects the harm that war has brought to the people and the author's disgust with war and his desire for peace.
