Figure 1.--This is the memorable scene from "Once ...." about the two boys and the tangerine. |
|
A Russian reader tellus us, "This is one of the favorite episodes and the most famous that I know." Scene shows two boys sitting in a school corridor, one of them is a little tubby and slowly eats a tangerine, and the second (thin) watches at him with the envy. At last the sesond boy says "If I had a tangerine, I would share it with you, no doubt!". Then the first boy eats the tangerine segment, and says with a sigh, "Yes ... What a pity, that you have no tangerine!". A British reader writes, "This is Russian humour. Similar to that which is enjoyed in the North of England. What a pity you don't have a tangerine! Classic one liner!"
