TRANSLATE INTO ROMANIAN

1. The dwarf strode forward through the deserted streets, trying as hard as he could to

he remembers his childhood misfortunes. His stepfather, a meat man, wandering

night after night, bringing home drunks he found sleeping on

benches through the park. They all entered, staggering to their feet in the dwarf's room, to look

at him.

2. "It's impossible to be your child," one exclaimed.

"Yes, it's mine, of course it's mine," replied the stepfather. I adopted him.
"But his real father was just a dwarf," the first insisted.

"It doesn't have to be that way," thought the stepfather.

3. It happens like that every night. When they came out of the room in an Indian line with a grin

on

their faces barked, the dwarf got out of bed, and began to get dressed. He was putting on his

clothes

his shabby print, then, on top of the best clothes, then a vindiac, scarf,

thick gloves with a finger and patent leather shoes. He usually wore cuffed pants with

straps and belt with buckle, a sleeveless shirt, striped, tight, bow tie, a

long-sleeved red T-shirt and sleeve, but when he was agitated, he grabbed and pulled on

any clothes fell into his hand.

4. Once, when he was fifteen years old, he became so angry with his father that he became

dressed like a girl. He sneaked into his freckled sister's room, and found stockings there

sweaters, a nightgown, a sarafan imported from Switzerland and a pleated skirt,

discolored. If his sister hadn't been so tall and obese, he would have dressed them, and

broke her out of the room, imagining that she would be able to travel all over the city with

speed as it was, nothing happened. A mischievous policeman may have spotted the dwarf as he

slipped against the walls of a house.

slapped him and said to him:

5. "I wish I hadn't looked at you in my life." I wish I was safe at home.

Why should I come across individuals like you? About turn! If I look at you again,

I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my life

6. But this did not happen. It just wasn't to be. Not even the cops

they cared about the dwarf. The dwarf had started robbing banks so that they would notice him,
but he had only succeeded in becoming a millionaire.

7. "He couldn't make that much money unless he was a genius," they said

people. He is precisely one of those who know everything.

8. When he became rich, his misfortunes ended. His sister with limp ears

she suggested she get married, and, as he heard it, she erased it. He left his parents' house so that
he would not be forced

to marry a woman who plays on his fingers.

9. He began a new life, turning his back on close relatives. Success had succeeded

head. By the time he turned thirty, he had set his mind on becoming President

island. He advertised in the newspapers that he was looking for help, and hired all sorts of people

of former prisoners on the roads: individuals with beveled foreheads, jugs, baskets, pits in

cheeks or bulging eyes.

10. Have the tailor turn the clothes of those individuals upside down so that they are not
recognized

by the bank officials they had robbed. Frightened by the dwarf's plans, in

the decisive night some of them had erased. The remaining ones received instructions as to a

moment to turn his glasses upside down, and start screaming in voices

tickled to drive the cops away.

11. It is strange that the dwarf's plan succeeded in a country where everyone earns money
honestly,

and no one is cowardly. What is certain is that once the dwarf became the president of the island,
no one

she no longer thought of quarreling with him. They have longed for a change.

12. The dwarf had a faithful associate, a hunchback with a goiter, whom he loved as if

he would have been his good brother. The hunchback traveled a lot, made mysterious roads, and
when he did
when he returned, he looked as if he had been handed over to the police and released countless
times.

The dwarf insisted that the hunchback should not get into those awful messes.

13. He often told her:

"At least if you did everything in his time!" At least if you wouldn't let it

spread the word about your misfortunes! At least you wouldn't do it forever

your! I'd rather my partner never get there, because he's driving me crazy

to run after you all over the city. If they come across you before me!

14. The rooster was approaching fifty years of age, and he was overly stubborn.

He had left a pregnant woman with a heavy hand, and she was holding him briefly.

15. "You didn't have to marry her," the dwarf scolded him when he found out. It is accurate

the kind of woman who always cracks her fingers, and talks with her hands on her hips.

You started life on the left, but after all, what do I care?

16. The hunchback reproaches him:

"I know we think we can starve to death."

"All you had to do was invite me to the wedding if I wanted to care."

"There was no wedding," protested the hunchback, stroking his fist

dwarf. She was in a bad mood, so we missed the ceremony.

17. "Perhaps I could have stopped her if she had called me," the dwarf continued, stabbing

with his thumb on the hunchback's chest.

18. Eventually, the dwarf managed to control himself, although he was unhappy that friend

his buckle had hurt her, at least in terms of marriage. Knowing that it is possible
he put it under anyone's skin, he hoped he would force the hunchback's wife to behave

properly. He was, in fact, sure he would be able to climb the table, pull her

buttonhole, and command him:

-Valley!

19. What really happened was that the hunchback's slippers were given to him first

to grab his friend to help him.

"It's beyond me how you can be so naughty," the woman had told him, "think you don't

I can take the thought from you.

20. The woman even wanted to party with him. But the dwarf and the hunchback escaped

clean headscarf: they remained bachelors, living in peace and luxury, going to bed at eight
o'clock

night after night, and dreaming of being the kings of the world. And they lived happily ever after
