Stocks

This mystical history has occured in France. The incomplete family has moved to small small town Tizi of district under name Bozhole to northwest from Lyons: lady of average years by name Andjuz and two its children boy Zhansju of twelve years and girl Albi of fourteen accordingly. Where there was a father of children or that has occured to it, nobody knew.

They have brought with themselves a small grapevine. Here and without that there were many vineyards, but they have planted this rod on, apparently, lifeless ground which to them was given by city authorities. On right leg Andjuz carried a copper bracelet, the same bracelet was at Zhansju and Albi, but they carried them on the left leg. The family has seemed to the townspeople strange, and them bypassed, in the answer poselentsy did not favour the attention and associates. The city did not know, that else will pay for the nasty ground, allocated to family Andjuz.

Facilities on manufacture of wine of district Bozhole at that time already could have own stocks. Stocks of the best facilities were in demand in Lyons, and they were bought only by rich people. Later twenty years when children Andjuz have matured, have grown also its vineyards from that rod which they have brought with themselves. But nobody could understand, that there is a direct communication between growth of vineyards Andjuz and withering of other vineyards. As this process went long, neighbours what did not guess. Vineyards Andjuz year after year grew, the rod grew stronger, and from berries excellent wine turned out. Facilities Andjuz had own stocks, and they steadily grew in the price. At the same time stocks of others facilities on manufacture of wine also steadily in the price of drop.

From what gibli vineyards of neighbours, knew only Andjuz, Zhansju and Albi. Every month during the full moon they turned to black wolves with the huge white canines which are terribly sticking out of a mouth. The Trinity of black wolves ran up after district and got into neighbour's vineyards. There they gnawed through the powerful canines a grapevine at the roots and vineyards perished. Wolves were found in those places and when at night in the distance in the street someone noticed terrible silhouettes nobody was surprised to it. And the more so nobody guessed that it for wolves.

But somehow time a moonlight night on a track at the house old enologist Marshan has met black wolves too close. The moonlight has run on copper bracelets of wolves. Wolves of it have not noticed, and Marshan has hardened for fear. Wolves have quickly disappeared in night, not guessing, that their ominous secret is opened. At next night the moon was still full, but to people of wolves to catch it was not possible. In two weeks when force of the moon became weak, in house Andjuz from Lyons there has arrived group of policemen. At midday all family has been arrested, and this very day all their stocks facilities on manufacture of wine have depreciated.

People could not understand, what for it was required to family Andjuz to destroy neighbour's vineyards. And in two weeks under a cover of night during the next full moon family Andjuz has disappeared from a police station. Lattices in a room for arrested persons were gnawed. But it were not those traces of canines as on grapevines, it was larger animal. And who now knows, where in the strange image someone's stocks fall?(RUS)
