The Moral Principle and the Material Interest .. A Moral Principle met a Material Interest on a bridge wide enough for but one.
— Пади ниц, презренная! — рявкнул Моральный Принцип, — и я пройду по тебе.. На мостике, по которому мог пройти только кто-нибудь один, Моральный Принцип повстречался с Материальной Выгодой.
“Down, you base thing!”. thundered the Moral Principle, “and let me pass over you!”.
— Пади ниц, презренная! — рявкнул Моральный Принцип, — и я пройду по тебе.
The Material Interest merely looked in the other’s eyes without saying anything.
Материальная Выгода посмотрела ему прямо в глаза и ничего не сказала.
“Ah”, said the Moral Principle, hesitatingly, “let us draw lots to see which shall retire till the other has crossed”.
— Гм! давай... — с запинкой проговорил Моральный Принцип, — ...давай бросим жребий, кому податься назад, пока другой не перейдет.
The Material Interest maintained an unbroken silence and an unwavering stare.
Материальная Выгода все так же безмолвствовала, вперяясь в него взглядом.
“In order to avoid a conflict”, the Moral Principle resumed, somewhat uneasily, “I shall myself lie down and let you walk over me”.
— Во избежание ссоры, — отчасти даже с волнением продолжал Моральный Принцип, — я, пожалуй, лягу, а ты пройдешь по мне.
Then the Material Interest found a tongue, and by a strange coincidence it was its own tongue.
И вот тогда у Материальной Выгоды отверзлись уста.
“I don’t think you are very good walking”, it said.
— Вряд ли по тебе приятно будет ступать, — сказала она.
“I am a little particular about what I have underfoot.
— Мне далеко не безразлично, что у меня под ногами. Я на этот счет малость привередлива.
Suppose you get off into the water”.
Прыгай-ка ты в воду.
It occurred that way.
Тем дело и кончилось.
