I want to live in a spacious two-story house with large windows with carved platbands. On the roof there must be bright red tiles, and on the ridge, as in Pushkin's fairy tales, I will plant a rooster, which I myself will cut and decorate in the most incredible, bright colors. Around the house I will definitely plant, birch, spruce and chestnut. And in front of the house I will have a large front garden, not only for me and my family, but also for bees. In the house, on the ground floor, I will have a spacious kitchen equipped with modern appliances, a hall where there will be a fireplace and the whole family will bask near it on cold evenings. Nearby there will be a library room, and in it are books, a computer and a set-top box.
