The Fairy Tale of the Beginning of Winter or about Diogenes, Greta Thunberg and Snow Dance
A worrying information about the activity of Greta Thunberg began to reach Diogenes.
“She travels around the world, and I'm sitting in a barrel!”
Diogenes took the lantern, lit it, and went along the seashore.
At last he reached the Kaliningrad oblast.
Someone is sitting on the beach and reading something.
“This is a Stoic philosopher,” - Diogenes decided, - “He reads Plato.”
- “Plato’s dialogues?” - Diogenes asked kindly, passing nearby.
The personality with the magazine was distracted from reading, looked at Diogenes and was surprised: “It's strange! Why a lantern is needed during the day time?”
- “I'm reading an interview. A human named Snow Dance claims that if tomorrow he finds himself in a Diogenes' barrel, then he will not be surprised at all.”
At this moment, a yacht under sail appeared within sight.
“It's probably Greta Thunberg,” - Diogenes suggested.
- “They are demanding ...,” - the personality obscurely told.
- “Where is she going? To where is she sailing now?”
- “Maybe to Diogenes?”
Diogenes started to worry - earlier his barrel nobody was interested. His compatriots preferred a more comfortable life. Now a new situation ... Will the barrel be free?
Diogenes, without delay, headed back. He came to his barrel, settled in it and set the lantern aside.
Diogenes continued to live in his barrel, asking visitors not to do an obstacles for sunlight, Greta Thunberg continued a traveling and an environmental activities, and magazines continued to write about Snow Dance.
