My Short Story

                My name is Sasha, and I live in Moscow and I have a little problem. My friend, Sashkin, gave me a Candelabra for my birthday and I don’t quite like it. It’s a really gaudy piece of work. But I was still very grateful for the present and for the fact that Sashkin got me a gift. But I decided to give it to my other friend, Uhov, who likes eccentric things like that. But the ironic part is that Uhov didn’t like it either, he thought it was too boring. So he decided to give it to hisDoctor, who he needed to buy a gift for anyway, but the doctor didn’t like it either. And the doctor, didn’t know that I had that candelabra first, gave it to me, because he thought I would like it. Which I found quite embarrassing
