both snack, and fat, and even onions. Only forgot about bread, I do not know what now to do.
           Germans helped out: replaced loaf for one pack of cigarettes. But, nevertheless, calm did not come  there will be

           One more trouble  buttons for braces, and trousers wide tore, slip considerably from top to bottom. How will I
