Because everyone else was so busy. .:Diary of the Ukrainian doll. entry one:.

"I woke up so early. My eyes felt heavy, like new twigs trembling beneath the first birds of spring.

I looked up through the flowers, pretty and blue. I felt like alice, down the rabbit hole, looking upwards through too-big flowers at the too-blue sky. There's a sense of wonder there.

And yet, when I stood, I found I was larger than them, like I always am.

I was careful not to trample on them.

This whole forest is like a dream, it's so nice.

But, it can be so very lonely, when I try to play, the big stags and does ignore me, did I do something wrong? Have I offended them somehow? I merely wanted to play...
And when I try to rest near them as well, they leave, even though I am so still and so quiet, I do not get in the way at all.

One of them, he reared at me, I am sorry I bothered him, I did not mean to upset him, I do not know what I did, I wish I knew, so that I could not do it in the future...

There was a nice deer, he was small too, he played with me. Maybe the big deer won't play because I'm small?

He had this nice blue fur, and a birdlike mask. Thank you for playing with me!

We went to sleep, and when I woke up, he was gone, I must have been asleep for a long time...

The little stone statue makes wonderful company, he has been seperated from the bigger ones, maybe they are ignoring him? we can keep eachother company.

Because I guess...everyone else was, just too busy to notice a little deer like me...
