FROM SKETCHES BY HELEN MAZURENKO The little black statue from Africa looked out of the dustbin in the court yard and waited for the miracle. But how could it happen since it hadn't happened before during all these pears since she had left her native land? She had been a goddess of fertility before. Ugly, she took all the illnesses on herself and left beauty and health to the others. She was adorned with flowers therefore. And what lovely crops of children her tribe had! But with time the strength of the white gods overpowered her. And she was sold and sent to England. She struggled as only she could. She sent malaria, but the whites had some medicine to counteract it. She sent a storm over the boat, but in vain, and the box containing her was opened in the room of an English actress. There were many flowers and the black goddess liked the atmosphere. Guests were polite. She heard "What a wonderful statue! She looks enchanted, and it is uncanny to live in the same flat-" someone whispered. But the actress did not live with the statue. She traveled all her life, till she died, somewhere else. Then the statue found herself in a barn and was frozen to death there together with some antique furniture. The goddess' face took on an expression of patient suffering after long standing without work. And now she is in the courtyard, waiting until the lorry comes and she will be taken on her last journey. But something happened ...... By a coincidence, from the other part of the world, after many inexplicable adventures, there appeared out of the house an old charwoman with a hoover. She looked at the statue and gasped, then she took the statue in her basket to the fourth floor into her unfurnished room. So they met. The old woman, who was at the time a daily help, used to be something else in her own country, and she could not bear to see a creature adorned with flowers and prayers, who took all the ugliness of life on herself to save her people, now so destitute. And the goddess, on her side, could not bear to look at the tired, moaning old creature in the night. So she quietly agreed to keep on her head the lamp, which the old woman put on her. So the goddess stood just opposite to the Greek orthodox icon. After some time, it seemed in the night, when the moon shone through the window, as if some transparent cloud started to stretch from the statue to the icon. Particularly in the night while the tiny old woman peacefully snored. It seemed as if the ugly goddess, on her small feet, was sailing together with her lamp to the ikon and asking herself, what is happening, what will happen next? And the old woman felt uncanny, because of her un usual dreams. Whatever it might be, this was a pagan idol. What would the priest say? Such a black monster opposite the Holy picture? And the old woman painted the statue in gold. The ungainly shape of the body of the goddess became more visible, but she did not mind; she grew to love her hostess with all her eccentricities and her snor ing. But unexpectedly the old woman died and the goddess found herself in the atelier of a painter. She was painted back to her original black and there was no lamp to hold on her head. The goddess felt useless and angry. She sent so much bad luck to the room, that the painter lost his patience and put her into a locker, where she stands probably to this day, waiting to see what will happen next. 22 НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ, КВІТЕНЬ, 1976 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
