Extreme Forever 2. Mountaineering. Poem by Konstantin Ananin

Some information. The snow leopard is an endangered
animal that lives high in the mountains of Asia.

- Why haven’t you held out
Your hand?
___________- I was about
To do but…
___________- Five minutes ago
You gave me this strange rope
And held over to give your hand,
I can hold on no more, my friend!
- Please! Hold on if you don’t want
The snow leopard to eat me.
________________________- What?
- It isn’t a rope! It’s the leopard’s tail!
- Leopard’s! Don’t think I haven’t turned pale.
You’ve given welcome news. Take the gun,
I gave you, and shoot to make it run
If you want not to be eaten
And this story to be written.
