The story-teller has put a mug of beer on one of tables, has added to vodka some beer, has transferred a bottle with the remained vodka to the listeners standing nearby, and has begun the story.
"There is one author , very initiative, down the street and thinks: "When I will make my creative capital?"
He saw: a beer hall. Has dawned on him: "Here - about what it is necessary to write!"
He entered the beer hall. There's company. "Who are you, friends?" "We are people of a hard profession! We were in high esteem. And now we are not needed. We came to the big city to see significant people and talk about our interests and problems." "Guys! I looked for you!"
The author, very initiative, bought a bottle of vodka and joined the company.
Beer, vodka...
After a visit to the beer hall, he wrote a literary work: "The Hundred minutes before the fall down."
This topic aroused interest. The creator of the literary work enters the Internet and sees targeted advertising. A writers' Association offers various literary awards. Medals, for example. The author writes a letter to the writers ' Association: "It was not so difficult to write, as - to gain experience for writing literary work." "I respect your medals very much, but I would like to get a honored title, so that my the abilities of actor are reflected in it." "It so happened my life that the visit to the beer hall, the spending time with these courageous men, with the using of vodka and beer, was for me the psychologically difficult action." "I acted according to the Stanislavsky's system."
From the writers 'Association he was answered: "We have a friendly relations with the Association of theatrical profile. At our request, you are awarded the title of "Big actor"."
The story, probably, has come to the end.
The story-teller has drunk up a mug with mix of beer and vodka and pushed the mug away from himself.
The audience looked upon the narrator with an uncertain expression.
First of all, he already bought vodka to them. Second, he could still give them vodka. It was too early to express aggression towards the narrator.
At last, the silence was broken. One of the listeners asked:
- And what?
- Money "went" from the Bank card for the diploma, and the diploma of the " Big actor " post system lost.
The company looked at the narrator in silence.
Alcoholic mix has worked suddenly. The story-teller has begun to slip along a wall down, to a floor.
To keep positions, he authoritatively told the company:
- Nero had a title "Great Actor" too.
The company looked at the story-teller with an uncertain expression.
- I can organise such a performance art, that - Oh-Oh-Oh! - the story-teller continued.
The company's attention switched to chatter, vodka and beer.
