[Alexandr Korol]

And then, yesterday he already said that I am, so to speak, on earth. Well, partially there, but more on earth. Well, of course, I descended to the earth, but I am the one who describes it and controls it. And as he skillfully said, that if I will be there, people will not understand me, and this world, just as me, does not understand the world of heaven — this is the world of mythical beings. And there are moments when a person either falls in love, or just walks near some fountain, and in the moment when, as I call it, the mind turns off, suddenly he may touch this world of heaven, and some miracle may happen — and this is all the world of heaven. Well, all right, let us go further, let us return to our friend the leprechaun. “Appearance of the leprechaun.

And I imagined that, you know, these magical beings that one may encounter — so that you understand how they may truly appear if suddenly it happens, you do not need to seek them out on purpose, of course — it could be a man who owns a toy shop, but also himself works in that shop as the salesman, as in the film “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”. Fix that too: this is a film of the world of heaven — “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium” and the soundtracks from it. And it could be some attendant at a gas station, or a car washer. Some man who for many years has always worked in the same place, through which a great stream of people passes. And he must be poor, simple,
