Malaya Sadovaya is a street of small wonders. It is the shortest street in St. Petersburg. High in a corner of the exterior of the Elisseeff Emporium, sits a small bronze cat named Elisey. He watches indifferently as pedestrians stroll past, many of whom are blissfully unaware of his presence. But for those who stop and honor him by tossing a coin up onto the small white ledge upon which he sits, legend has it he will grant you a wish. Students come here before exams to wish for good grades. Lovers, hands clasped tightly together, toss a kopek and wish for a happy future. Across the street on an adjacent ledge, is Vasilisa, another bronzed feline. While 2 Elisey sits, Vasilisa stands, perhaps curious, perhaps slightly jealous of the attention that Elisey seems to garner. The cautious dreamer will throw coins to both.
