Finnish Sauna

I have two brothers. When we were smaller, we use to play one game – the Hamburger. Rules are really simple, you just have to lay down on top of each other. The one who is under, of course, is a loser. I preferreed to be cutlet not bread.

Wise men say – it´s better to stand with bronze not silver medal on the honorary pedestal. Desire for gold is too overwhelming, it´s better to stay as the third one.”


Somu pirts

Man ir divi brāļi. Kad bijām mazāki, mums patika spēle Hamburgeris.

Tās noteikumi ir pavisam vienkārši, trijatā jāuztaisa kārtojums, noguļoties vienam virs otra. Tas, kas apakšā, protams, ir zaudētājs. Šķiet, man labāk patika būt kotletei, nevis maizītei.

Prātīgi cilvēki saka – uz goda pjedestāla labāk stāvēt ar bronzas medaļu, nevis sudraba. Smeldze pēc zelta ir pārāk nomācoša, labāk palikt kā trešajam.


Soome saun

Mul on kaks venda. Kui olime väiksemad, mängisime me üht mängu – Hamburgerit. Reeglid olid väga lihtsad – peab lihtsalt üksteise seljas lamama. See, kes on kõige all, jääb muidugi kaotajaks. Mina tahtsin olla kotlet, mitte sai. Tark ütleb – pjedestaalil on parem olla pronks kui hõbe, kulla ihalus on nagunii liiga suur, parem juba olla kolmas.”
