This is a story about little girl Mila, who lived with her granny many years ago. They had a garden with vegetables and fruits, berries, and another things to eat. They hadn't got a fridge, cause it was nearly 100 years ago. But they had a special dark and cold room to save food fresh for a long time. Mila didn't go to this room till she was 10. That is a main idea of the story. One day, granny McDuddle asked:"Mila, please, couldn't you go to cold room to bring me a strawberry jam? I'll cook some pancakes, as you like." Mila loved pancakes. So, she said:"yes, granny" and ran to the room. But only when she came in, she understood how was it frightening, to go deeper into room in darkness. She knew, that there can be bats. She 
really afraided of bats. But she loved pancakes more, so she continued her journey. And, suddenly, she hard a squeak. "Pee-pee-pee", she heard. "Oh, no! It is bat!",- Mila thought. She went closer to noise and saw a small creature, that couldn't fly. It had broken wing. It was scrawling by round. "Oh my God! It is injured!".-Mila said. She toke small bat with two handkerchiefs not to be bitten by frightened animal. She brought bat to her granny, and then to local vet. Since that moment Mila didn't afraid of bats. "The devil isn't so black, how he is drawn",- said granny McDuddle to Mila.

In "War and Peace", a decisive moment in the explanation of Prince Andrew and his father of Natasha, Natasha, only one worried about, "Mom, it's not a shame that he is a widower?" - "Come, Natasha. Pray to God. Les mariages se font dans les cieux »(« Marriages are made in heaven "). So it and eventually leaves. Only it turns out that the heavens are not accomplished the marriage, and the other.Who first said, «Les mariages se font dans les cieux»? One of the first - Queen Margaret of Navarre (1492-1549), in the novel "On the two lovers" from the collection "Heptaméron". And then he added: "... but this does not apply to forced marriages," - then they were commonplace.In 1572, Princess Margaret of Valois was married to Henry de Bourbon, the future King Henry IV. The bride and groom were completely indifferent to each other, and their marriage ended in St. Bartholomew's night. Ten years later, Queen Margot wrote to one of his lovers, "Let no one tell me that marriages are made in heaven - heaven is not capable of such a terrible injustice."But the wisdom of the marriage and the sky is much older and Marguerite de Valois and Marguerite de Navarre. It appeared in the Midrash - Jewish interpretation of the Bible. The first treatise Midrash "Bereshit Rabbah" (interpretation of the book of Genesis) was compiled, probably in the V century BC It says: "Couples are selected in Heaven" (or, in another translation: "The couple is given to man from God"). Having said that the meeting of Rebecca and Isaac, her intended husband.You will also find an interesting story about the rabbi Ios bin Halafta, who lived in the middle of the II. BC A certain Roman matron asked him: "What does the Lord after created the world" - "Combines couples," - said the rabbi. "And this is his occupation? Yes it is, and I could have. " - "Do you think it's easy, but it is not easier for God than to push the water of the Red Sea." Matrona went home, put in a number of servants and a thousand thousand servants, and said, "So-and marry such and such and such and such will marry such and such." The next morning they were all battered and bruised - did not agree, so to speak, the characters.According to the treatise "Bereshit Rabbah", "in three different places of the Holy Scriptures stated that Heaven intend women to men." Proverbs: "House and wealth - inherited from parents, but a prudent wife - from the Lord." In Genesis, the marriage of Isaac with Rebekah, "From the Lord came this business." In the Book of Judges, Samson's marriage with the "woman of Timnath":. "This is from the Lord" However, Isaac, Rebekah lived with happily and family life Samson only as a disaster can not be called. Could Gd have been so wrong?And then it turns out that heaven arranging marriages have in mind their own objectives, which coincide with our not always. Isaac was to be the ancestor of the Jewish people, and Samson - to punish the Philistines. Thus the heavens and gave him a wife-Philistine that managed this week to quarrel with their relatives of the hero-warrior.In England and France, saying "Marriages are made in heaven," is already in the XVI century, it was supplemented by the words: "... and executed on the ground." (Variant of our contemporary Gennady Malkin: "... and executed at the place of residence"). Formula "Marriages are made in heaven, and are executed on the ground" even entered the collection of legal norms published in France in 1608. The same, in other words a little, Francoise Sagan said: "All marriages are successful. The difficulty begins after marriage. " And before that - Austrian writer Marie Ebner von Eschenbach (1830-1916): "Marriages are made in heaven, but they do not care that they are successful."Now, when the number of divorces and weddings almost equal, the idea of ​​indissoluble marriage made in heaven, it seems archaic. It may be objected quote from the American writer Virgil Peterson (1904-1966): "Although many marriages fail, they are indissoluble. This divorce, divorce, hearts, nerves and feelings can not be - it is impossible to divorce his memory. "
