Narayoni, 7 months ago Behold! A solvent, disciplined #cat 🤣 A model citizen! I think he would make a very entertaining co - passenger 🤣🤣 Quotations from The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov @bookstodon @reading #themasterandmargarita #mikhailbulgakov #literature #jokes #humor #funny #funnycat #satire #comedy #bookquotes #funnyquotes #reading #books #amreading #russianliterature "Neither the conductress nor the passengers were struck by the essence of the matter: not just that a cat was boarding a tram-car, which would have been good enough, but that he was going to pay! The cat turned out to be not only a solvent but also a disciplined animal. At the very first shout from the conductress, he halted his advance, got off the footboard, and sat down at the stop, rubbing his whiskers with the ten-kopeck piece. But as soon as the conductress yanked the cord and the tram-car started moving off, the cat acted like anyone who has been expelled from a tram-car but still needs a ride. Letting all three cars go by, the cat jumped on to the rear coupling-pin of the last one, wrapped its paws around some hose sticking out of the side, and rode off, thus saving himself ten kopecks.” --A quotation from The Master And Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.
