Wendy: - When my friends visited your country last time, they saw some very strange things. You, Russians, have got such peculiar and creepy holidays. Especially, Maslenitza. This festival is weird.

Varvara: - Really? Why do you call it weird?

Wendy: - Listen, it shocks me when people make an awful doll, decorate it with ribbons, sing songs and finally burn it eating pancakes and drinking some tasteless coke. Then, during a whole week you try to avoid eating any kind of meat but you do eat a lot of butter, sour cream, cheese, lots of pancakes. And, moreover, people of all ages jump over the bonfire. This is ridiculous!
