122 за радостью горе по пятам ходит
посл.О том, что я именинник, он [приказчик] не знал... Когда кончилась церемония поздравлений в мастерской, я переоделся, убежал на двор и залез на крышу сарая сбрасывать плотный, тяжёлый снег, обильный в эту зиму... деревянная лопата с трудом брала его, железной не было, и я сломал лопату как раз в тот момент, когда в калитке появился приказчик; оправдалась русская пословица - "За радостью горе по пятам ходит". (М. Горький, В людях) — The assistant had not known that it was my name day... When congratulations were over in the workshop I changed my clothes, ran out into the yard, and climbed up on the roof of the barn to shovel off the snow that had fallen in such quantities that winter... The wooden shovel I used, there being no metal one, broke under its weight. Just at that moment the shop assistant appeared in the gateway, conforming the Russian saying: 'Joy is always trailed by sorrow.'
