Sanya Lokhushenko is impressed by Agatha Christie, dressed in a beautiful uniform. A story.
Sanya Lokhushenko loved to listen to detective stories on the radio before going to bed.
Earlier, a young journalist (the "assistant of capital") specialized in investigations. He walks through the capital or rides by the subway and composes. And he reports via the Internet about an unclosed hatch or about garbage not taken out.
Some unpleasant story happened to this journalist. Either he fell into the open hatch, or the garbage after the repair was poured from the high floor, and he passed by at that time.
A lady in a beautiful uniform, the new Agatha Christie, took the place of the "assistant of capital".
In order to gain experience, she took as a basis the story of Karel Čapek "The Poet".
"... at four o'clock in the morning on Zhitnaya street..."
'Wait a moment! - suddenly jumped up the poet. - After all, I wrote poetry about it when I came home ...
Rolling his eyes, he began chanting:
A houses in the ranks were darkening through out an openwork,
Dawn already played a mandoline.
The maiden was reddening.
To distant Singapore
You were flying away in the racing car
A broken tulip is thrown into dust.
Passion has ceased. A lack of will ... Oblivion
O! The neck of a swan!
Oh! The breasts!
Oh drum and these sticks -
a sign of tragedy! "
After reading this story, a lady in a beautiful uniform formulated a mystery:
- In what year was this story written ?!
Sanya did not know this.
He felt sad.
First, the words are very beautiful:
"Broken Tulip" ...
'O! The neck of a swan!
Oh! The breasts!"
Secondly, he, Sanya, is poorly familiar with the world literature.
The lines came from the depth of memory:
"Dusya's beige oilcloth dreamed him,
And cheeky spies in Bangladesh ...
I will live, God's will, with the Romanians -
They say they are from the Volga region, just like us! "
What if Sanya wants to put someone in a sack? And this person will knock by Sanya's kumpol in return?
Sanya quickly wrote a testament to his relatives and buddies:
"Get together and shout loudly "Help us!"".
Sanya put the date and signature on the document and went to bed.
Already falling asleep, he thought that the document should be added: "And drink massandra in memory of me ...".
'Here are the female habits:
She saw off - began to sing,
She ironed the shirts -
It's expensive to watch. "...
'I shouted all the way to the airport.
I went to the gangway, and in the back it was like a barking ... "
An explanation: "Dusya's beige oilcloth dreamed him ['Снились Дусины клеёнки цвета беж']" (and other verses further) - from the song by Vladimir Vysotsky "An instructions before traveling abroad" ('Инструкция перед поездкой за рубеж').
