Rotten apple injures its neighbors.

From a black sheep, at least a tuft of wool.

A black sheep out of the flock.

Proverbs

- I'm a lousy jackal ... I took money from children.

He robbed a kindergarten. - What kind of cultural was found, huh? ..

And when you have donkey gasoline at your dispenser

urine diluted, was not lousy? - Either gasoline, or children ...

K-F "Gentlemen of Fortune"

Lousy as a personality trait - a tendency to infect other people with their worst qualities; to show himself as a worthless, nasty, disgusting, bad and trashy person.

Roadside cafe. A truck driver comes in and orders meat. Then three bikers tumble into the cafe and take the trucker's order. The trucker pays the waitress and leaves. The waitress approaches the bikers, and one of them says to her: - Goat! He can't even take care of himself! Waitress: - Yes, he also drives lousy! I just drove out of the parking lot - crushed three motorcycles ...

A lousy person is a lousy person. Like a mishandled Cossack, he can as soon as possible spoil and decompose the healthiest team. Hence the proverb about the black sheep, which can spoil the whole flock. Mangy - literally, "with a scab, mangy", that is, covered with purulent scabs, from which other sheep become infected. From a black sheep you can take only a shred. Klok - a piece, a bunch of something. Meaning: take at least what you can take if you can not get more. They speak with disrespect about those from whom they do not expect to receive anything worthy. An example from the literature: “After two and a half months, Vladimir Ilyich arrived at the place of exile, in the village of Shushenskoye, received a notice from the Yenisei governor that he would be given eight rubles a month for maintenance, clothes and an apartment (“even a tuft of wool from a black sheep” , - said Vladimir Ilyich), and sat down to work (N. Virta, “Evening Bells”).

Scab is terrible because it is contagious, that it is instantly transmitted, the whole team becomes infected: from the cleaning lady to the boss. For example, a toady and a slanderer come into the team in one person. In an instant, he becomes a favorite with the boss, who, as practice has shown, likes to be flattered and flattered in front of him. And now, in the team, whispering, slandering, intrigue, persuasion and slander are already in favor. People seem to have changed. Nobody trusts anyone. Confidence in the relationship disappeared, as if someone had thrown it into the trash at once. Everyone on their own. Everyone is tense, embittered and secretive. A few months, and the collective is doomed if the black sheep is not removed from it.

A black sheep will appear in a decent class, you look, by the end of the seventh grade there is not a single virgin or virgin, everyone smokes and drinks, and some of the "leaders" are already drug addicts.

A lousy person is the owner of a lousy character. Exact composition negative traits no one will give a lousy character. In each case, this manifests itself individually. It happens that scab is based on deceit, slander, betrayal and treachery. It happens - on deceit, meanness and insignificance. It happens - on flattery, servility, vileness and groveling. In other words, every time is different. One thing is important, to know the qualitative feature of lousyness: something terribly trashy and negative in a person is transmitted to others with the speed of an epidemic.

How should you live so that scab does not become a member of your family? Philosopher Oleg Torsunov argues that we find in a spouse, out of stupidity, not the best, but the lousiest. We think that we can find good things for ourselves. We do not find. Then we don't know how to get rid of it. How to determine whether a person has found a person for himself or fate gave him? Fate always gives the best. And a person finds for himself the most disgusting, the most lousy.

In one ancient scripture it is said: "Restless jackalis prowl in the spring in search of a male, ready to copulate with the most lousy and wounded, so women, deprived of paternal or male guardianship, destroy themselves in casual relationships."

When a woman finds a man for herself, he is usually married, and he begins to torment her, not to let go. Fate punishes: you don’t have to look for anyone, you need to become a woman who is worthy of a man, and he will be found himself. Because the Higher powers are watching our every step. They know what we need to give. And when it's time for us to give, they know. Something valuable in life is hard to come by. And if you want faster, please, no problem. Everything is cheap, it is correspondingly lousy. You can't buy good stuff cheaply. It will be fake. Family life the same. Therefore, by drawing the image of a future husband, his design, you are building an illusion that will never come true because, truly, a person must build a design within himself. And then everything outside will reflect your life. If you want to look at your destiny, look around you at those people who are very close to you, and you will see your destiny. If you are surrounded by people who deceive you, get angry at you, swear, then you are who you are.

If you become a pure, elevated person, people change, their attitude towards you changes, everything becomes different next to you. It means you have changed. It is very easy to understand who you are by who surrounds you. If you want something else to surround you, it is not artificially created. We can try to do it, but it doesn't work. We find a person for ourselves, first a honeymoon goes with this person, everything is cool, and then the clouds gather, the situation is even worse than it was before. It's terrible to change someone in life, to try to change in order to become happier. Meeting a lousy person then leads to big problems in life, terrible unpredictable situations.

The lousy hare fell in love with all the animals in the forest. The animals decided to take revenge on him. They gathered, surrounded him ... The hare had nowhere to go, and he climbed into the hole. Animals surrounded the hole. - Oblique, get out! “I won’t get out, you will beat me!” - Of course we will! - And you are not ashamed? You are all so big... And I am so small! And all for one? The animals looked at each other, and they really felt ashamed. There are many of them, and some lousy hare is trembling in the hole ... - Okay, hare, get out, we won't touch you. - I won't get out. There is a lion among you, he will eat me! - Don't be afraid, don't eat it! - No, eat! If you want me to get out, tie the lion tightly, and hide yourself away ... - Well, okay, hare, be your way ... The animals tied the lion tightly, and went home. As soon as the last animal disappeared in the distance, the hare crawled out of the hole and, trembling all over, approached the lion. Leo: What, you bastard, you're trembling! Scary? Well no! For the first time in his life, the lousy bunny will fuck the king of beasts! I'm trembling with excitement!

Prologue

About black sheep a lot
I heard stories and parables, -
You can’t take meat from them and fat, -
Is it possible to cut a piece of wool.

And the good herd spoils
Only one bad sheep -
In a barrel of honey like a fly in the ointment,
Like a rotten porch step.

From one small infection
There may be a strong pestilence, -
Get rid of this immediately
It has been accepted so far...

If a few evils shine upon us,
You can choose one of two -
Only will anyone be in the answer,
If the shepherd becomes lousy?

It just so happened that sheep live in vast and lush meadows. Not by themselves, of course, they had a master, but above the master - another master, and above that - another, the most Chief. The owners sheared the sheep, and let the fattest ones go for meat. But the sheep did not notice this, because they were always busy discussing rumors and looking for more "sweet" meadows, and in place of the "departed", new ones appeared all the time.

In one of these meadows, in the Golden Valley of the Southern Urals, our the protagonist. On the whole, he lived well, he always got tasty varieties of vegetation in a place convenient for devouring, and he considered himself an authority, even “bleated” sometimes according to concepts, although he himself had never been in the “thieves” herd.

Over the past 20 years, many shepherds have changed in the herd, but for our hero this was imperceptible and not even important, since he believed that he was the most beloved and most authoritative sheep of the Owner. In fact, this was far from the case, but he thought so ...

As time went on, the Owner changed shepherds, some for theft, some for killing cows from a neighboring village, some for incompetence and distrust, and some left of their own free will. Along with this, our hero continued to exist comfortably, but somehow quietly without much publicity. Although he really wanted to be known about him and, which is characteristically respected as himself, by the Master of the herd. Therefore, he often took part in the change of shepherds, substituting them before the Master.

But the Master, as required by life and the law, before approaching a close distance to his sheep, always vaccinated them before that. There is a special agency federal Service safety for domestic and wild animals.

If with wild animals the issue of this department was solved quite simply, then with domestic animals, to which our main character belongs, everything is much more complicated. Such an agency has a long individual work in order to prevent the Master from being infected with some kind of filth, but it was always a pity to let such a sheep under the knife.

So our hero has been vaccinated several times. The result, however, was the same, it is IMPOSSIBLE to allow him close to the Master, well, not at all. A sheep should not be allowed near the Master if it is lousy. Lousy according to the results of vaccination, but very necessary for the herd. In fact, the owner was an intelligent person and treated this issue philosophically: both the sheep are safe and the wolves are full.

In the meantime, the Owner began to separate other sheep from the herd, creating competition in the herd, and they passed the test for vaccination in the supervisory department with "excellent". This, of course, did not suit the black sheep, primarily in moral terms, she could not come to terms with this. But as they say, trouble does not come alone. Global warming has also begun to make itself felt. Meadows began to dwindle, rivers to dry up - in a word, a crisis has come.

The owner was not worried about this - he believed that he had enough food supplies, and so that the herd would not bleat and the food would not be stolen, he decided to replace all the problematic shepherds in his area. The shepherd in the herd of our protagonist also turned out to be problematic. Too many sheep bleated at him. And as soon as he thought about replacing the shepherd in this herd, the shepherd himself wrote a letter of resignation, saying that with such sheep the place is not in the meadow, but in the circus, and he is not a clown, but a professional certified shepherd.

The owner began to think about replacing the shepherd. If earlier he himself changed shepherds, then here the shepherd had to be chosen by the sheep themselves. While the Boss was thinking, our main character met a black crow, who was eating on the farm at the Boss, and actually spread all the rumors about the herd, but he did it so competently that none of the sheep even suspected him. Raven began to hang out often next to the Black Sheep. It was rumored that they even built a small joint hut near the pond in the meadow and made great friends. The rest of the sheep were jealous of the Black Sheep, because she was friends with the black raven, and one could expect all sorts of "tricks" from him.

A rumor spread through the flock that the Black Sheep will now decide for itself who will be their shepherd. Many believed this and began to grovel before her: there were 9 such heads in the herd, and 5 more heads of doubters.

And then a new energetic shepherd came to the herd, with a desire to benefit the herd and the entire livestock complex. He had no experience in grazing sheep, since he had previously been engaged in a completely different business, but he knew the topic of animal husbandry quite well.

At first, the sheep thought that since the shepherd was inexperienced, they would live a free life, without bearing any responsibility, enter the neighboring FOREIGN fields, eat other people's food, trample other people's meadows. However, this did not happen, since the shepherd did not begin to use the methods of his former predecessors, but undertook to graze the sheep strictly according to the instructions, the application of which many shepherds forgot, and at the same time he brought a shepherd dog with him, who was able to put the sheep in their place and protect them from enemies .

Our Black Sheep was indignant, went into a rage, turned to the raven for help, the herd created is scattered, they don’t know how to live on, they are spinning. And they came up with black damage, launched their rumor through the living complex that the Shepherd listens to the “ball” in everything, although the name (nickname) is quite good, but in fact the deeds are painfully daring. They reported this to the province, but the Master was not touched, the authorities must be guarded by dogs, even if they are not purebred. For the Owner, the most important thing is that there should be order in the complex, and high performance to collect meat and wool, and this new shepherd guaranteed.

Meanwhile, the grass was becoming less and less, and the Boss began to take anti-crisis measures. He gathered all the shepherds, including ours. He thanked for the fruitful 2016 and said that now, in the conditions of the crisis, it is necessary to choose only the most elite sheep in order to preserve the breed, and let the rest go for meat in order to speed up this process.

Our shepherd was going to sort his sheep whom - where: whom - for meat, whom - for wool, it was clear with everyone, except for the Black Sheep, since neither wool nor meat could be taken from it. The meat was contagious, but the sheep did not want to be treated. Yes, and it was impossible to agree with her about this.

I had to turn to the shepherd to the owner. He, without hesitation for a long time, ordered his department for trapping domestic and wild animals to catch this ram-like individual, with her friend a black crow, to place in a special institution, from which they almost never return ...
