It is not customary to be bored on the service bus. Whoever is considered gloomy in the morning will be accused of suffering from a hangover. They will peck with vulgar jokes. Use at work in our team is not acceptable.
We joke, we laugh, we exchange cards when all the topics for conversation have already been shoveled. The people in the brigade are different, each speaks about his own: the youth is trying to stand out, the elderly contingent philosophizes like a prostitute, teaches the mind of the boys.
So today the old men began to teach Yurka how to meet women. This is when he threw a flat joke at the top of his squeaky voice from the bus to a passing girl.
On this occasion, Slavka, a man of pre-retirement age, told his family story. Shared experience with young people, so to speak.

We then paved the road with paving stones, so-and-so in the seventieth. Work on the street, there are no rooms for warming up: no service rooms for you, no supply room for a smoke break and lunch, no necessary latrines. So, once I was pressed down at the wrong time, I didn’t really prepare for work, I ate something wrong.
So, I hurried across the road. We know the places, learned from bitter experience. There was an abandoned house nearby. The toilet was dilapidated, but no one dared to go in there, you would immediately suffocate. Wine in those days was produced excellent, sea buckthorn. And the effect from that wine was noticeable the next day. Everyone knew then who drank what. There were no drain tanks. Neighbors in those days knew everything about each other, who had dinner with what, who drank yesterday.
So ... I hid in the bushes, alone, no one sees me. Satisfied, proud of his ingenuity.
And then suddenly a girl hurries out of the bushes, crumpling a piece of paper in her hands. I just strained, my eyes bulging. Her: "Oh!" - and ran away, disappeared in an unknown direction.

I met that girl at the bus stop later. She herself approached: "What bus (asks) goes to Pukhoperovaya." "But this one will be on your way. And I'm on the way with you, if you will." They sat down on one seat and talked. So our whole life has become our way.

My Maruska had no idea about our first meeting before the birth of her first child. Well then I was nabychimshis, unrecognizable. She told everyone about our meeting on the bus. I kept quiet, did not want to disturb her while she was the firstborn. And as soon as she left the hospital, she again boasted to her girlfriends about our acquaintance at the bus stop. I then took her aside, and quietly ask:
“Are you sure you don’t know how we first met?”
She does not understand. Well, I laid it all out for her - about the thicket in an abandoned house. Maruska stared at me with her bulging little eyes for about five minutes. Then she ran out with wet eyes.
They didn't speak to her for two days. The matter almost came to a divorce. What do I have to do with it? The situation then happened. Natural is not ugly. In general, he promised her to keep quiet. That's what they decided on. I forgot that stupid incident.

Forgotten, he forgot. And he told you, he blabbed. Yes, you should not be visiting me, do not talk with my grandmother.
Although ... Our city is small, rumors instantly disperse. So, if someone unties his tongue, you know me, - Slavka showed his weighty fist.

Afterword.
The guys are silent. Nobody wants to sniff Slavka's fist. They are silent, and I blabbed.
So, my dear readers. I do not advise you to spread this case by weight. I know Slavka, I saw what kind of logs he turns.

Reviews

Yes, indeed, but it’s better to keep silent about sensitive facts...😊
And I remember sea buckthorn wine from school, acquaintance with alcoholic beverages began with it, after which there was a persistent rejection of wine in general ...

In the end, the robot opened an umbrella over the chair, but all the same, the water flowed down the umbrella to the floor, and there the puddle was growing with might and main.

Well, the robot sighed. - Apparently, it's not my destiny to live with my dear Asparagus anymore. After all, when he comes, he will immediately understand everything. And I can't stand it if he looks at me reproachfully.

And the robot, looking around the room with a sad look, left it forever.

chapter three

in which the robot meets life

If you think that the robot roamed the streets, scaring passers-by with its lamps and antennas, then you are mistaken. On reaching the stairs, the robot immediately used Asparagus's spell and turned into a dog. And in the most simple mongrel. And there was a certain trick to it. After all, if you, for example, turn into some kind of royal poodle or standard schnauzer, then everyone will pay attention to you and point fingers. The mongrel doesn't interest anyone. The robot ran through the streets on four legs and wagged its tail happily. He was interested in everything. Not only did he turn out to be alive, now he could properly figure out what was made of what. How, for example, a trolleybus is arranged. It turned out that the flowers, which he had seen before only on TV, smell. And everything is different. Also, there are so many people around!

Having run enough during the day, he turned into the city park in the evening. Twilight came on, the children's swings froze forlornly, the merry-go-round no longer creaked.

On the farthest secluded alley, the robot was interested in three old men who looked around uneasily. One of them - the fattest one - pressed a huge wooden abacus to his chest. And by the way the other two old men obediently looked at him, the robot realized that the old man with the accounts was in charge here.

The mongrel came closer and pricked up its ears.

Get ready! - suddenly shouted the old man with the bills, waiting until there was no one nearby.

The old men, looking around, pulled a black ribbon over their eyes, wrapped their heads in multi-colored scarves. And, straightening their shoulders, they looked at their leader.

"Yes, these are real pirates!" gasped the robot. "And I thought they were only in books."

And he ran closer, taking advantage of the fact that the old men began to unbutton their shirts so that they could see the striped sailor shirts worn underneath.

We, self-taught pirates! .. - shouted the old man with the bills and pushed the hushed couple of old men in the side. - Repeat after me. This is our oath.

The old men opened their mouths wide:

We vow to do everything for our goal.

"And what is your goal?" - I wanted to immediately ask the robot, but caught myself in time.

We swear, the old men repeated. The senior pirate satisfactorily threw back one knuckle in the abacus:

Ready! The first job is done.

The junior pirates took out plastic abacus from their pockets, giggling, also threw away one knuckle, repeating incessantly:

Ready! Ready! Ready!

Athas! - suddenly shouted a bald pirate.

The pirates instantly took off their ribbons and handkerchiefs and began buttoning their shirts with trembling fingers.

The robot looked around in bewilderment. And only now I understand everything. Vigilantes passed by them along the adjacent alley.

Only when they passed did the old pirates relax.

He nodded his head in agreement, triumphantly raised his abacus and tossed the knuckle.

And now our plan...

The pirates craned their heads, listening intently to every word. And the robot inaudibly approached even closer, becoming two steps away from them. From impatience, he even tucked his tail.

But Sergei Prokofievich suddenly threw his knuckle back and glared at the cur:

What else is this one hanging around? Eavesdropping?

What are you, Sergei Prokofievich! - the junior pirates began to persuade him.

But he raised his finger to his lips and whispered:

See you at midnight tonight. And the pirates, without saying goodbye, disappeared into the darkness of the park.

Chapter four

in which the robot tries to ferret out pirate secrets

The pirates sat in their striped T-shirts, now and then adjusting the black ribbons over their eyes, which slipped, preventing them from looking at each other. In front of each on the table lay the scores.

Midnight struck and the pirates huddled around the kitchen table.

The senior pirate cleared his throat.

We self-taught pirates...

But then, out of habit, he looked around and suddenly noticed outside the window near the open window a dog floating in the air.

That dog again! he shouted.

Where? Why, Sergei Prokofievich, this is the eighth floor!

But Sergei Prokofievich, not listening to anyone, picked up the net and ran out onto the balcony to catch the hated flying dog. Of course, our robot should not have made such an oversight. I had to instantly turn into a mosquito and fly into the kitchen.

The pirates, whispering excitedly, waited for their leader.

Recovering his breath and putting the net closer, he finally sat down at the head of the table, now and then looking in the direction of the window. He still could not calm down and therefore repeated:

I saw with my own eyes. Here is a dog in the window!

Sergei Prokofievich, if she was there, she had already flown away... Let's get down to business.

Okay, let's move on to the plan, - and he again looked around conspiratorially. - Our task is to board the tram. Then we will block the road with this tram and board the trolley bus. On it, we will attach ourselves to the bus at the bus stop and take it on board too ...

At the very pirate word "boarding," Sergei Prokofievich joyfully counted the knuckles on his abacus, and the younger pirates repeated after him.

Having taken possession of the bus, we will drive it directly to the airfield and capture, - here he again looked around, - the plane. And after the plane, a rocket!

Oh! - exhaled the old pirates at once. And the most pirate pirate continued:

And from there we will tell everyone: we will return the rocket to you if you put all these nasty computers out of schools and shops, hospitals and factories and return our native accounts. We, the former chief accountants, demand it.

We demand! We demand! - the younger pirates repeated after him.

And now we must hurry, - the bald old man spoke. - Tomorrow we will collect our grandchildren for school. You just forgot to say, Sergei Prokofievich, that our grandchildren laugh at our accounts, repeating their fashionable words "computer" and "cybernetics".

20. Task 20 Edit the sentence: correct the lexical error, excluding superfluous word. Write out this word.

Often works of art are autobiographical. It is known that, while creating the story "Flight to America", Alexander Grin wrote his autobiography.

21. Task 21 Which of the statements correspond to the content of the text? Specify the answer numbers.

1) Discussing issues related to money can be used as a means of developing the best human qualities.

2) Greed is a common age-related feature that always goes away on its own as you get older.

3) Kindness and selflessness must be formed from childhood.

4) Kindness and disinterestedness can be brought up in a person if parents are interested in their child possessing these qualities.

5) Alena showed greed, because she saw bad examples of the manifestation of this quality.

(1) Money is a means of distributing material goods according to work, and by no means the purpose of existence, not the basis of the prestige and influence of the individual. (2) However, with all the subservience of its role, money is constantly present in our relationships, and issues related to money represent a wide field for the formation of such qualities as honesty, nobility, modesty, delicacy, commitment. (H) In addition, raising a correct view of the role of money is to instill in children their true meaning, to show their real place in a number of basic life values: knowledge, creative work, spiritual and intellectual communication. (4) This is probably why today parents are very concerned about the influence of the family on attitudes towards material values, to the money. (5) What should and what can the family do in order to prevent manifestations of petty-bourgeois self-interest, possessiveness, “materialism” in children? (6) What should and what can a family do so that children who grow up in material prosperity, surrounded by many good and beautiful things, do not find themselves in spiritual captivity?

(7) At first, no one in the family attached importance to the fact that little Alyonka, to the request: “Give me a toy,” invariably answered with a decisive refusal, energetically pressing a rattle or a rubber animal to her chest. (8) Soon Alyonka's character began to cause some concern: she began to constantly quarrel with children over toys. (9) Condescending acquaintances delicately reassured worried parents: “Come on, it's a child! (10) Usual childish greed. (11) Don't worry.

(12) There is a dubious theory that classifies the so-called childish greed as natural, almost mandatory age features. (13) Indeed, many "little greedy" grow up as quite normal, even kind people. (14) Under the influence of upbringing and the environment, sometimes without a special parental "sight" in the emerging character, positive traits take over - kindness, generosity. (15) But this is not always the case. (16) Large greedy grow, as a rule, from small greedy.

(17) It was decided to declare war on Alyonina's greed - a bloodless and "nervous" war. (18) Yes, Alena had no bad examples before her eyes, in her loved ones she could not observe either pettiness or self-interest. (19) But, apparently, more illustrative examples of kindness and not joking, but serious explanations were needed.

(20) Now in the family they tried as often as possible to show each other signs of attention with gifts, and with Alena they often discussed the upcoming gift to relatives or friends. (21) They tried to make the girl see how loved ones easily, with pleasure give in to each other even what they wanted to take for themselves. (22) My grandmother bought a blouse, figured it out - and it fits in size, and it’s good for her face. (23) And in the evening she offered her daughter-in-law, to whom this blouse suited more. (24) Another time, my mother came in a new scarf, but put it on my grandmother's coat, saw how the scarf fits well, and gave it to my grandmother.

(25) Maybe someone will scornfully respond: “Theatre!”. (26) But what of the fact that the theater? (27) Where is it said that in family education "theater" is a less worthy means than "lecturions"? (28) It is important that the "play" has a noble content.

(29) Pretty soon it became clear: Alena ceased to be a “spectator”, (30) She took out into the yard even the most senior representatives of the puppet society and an elegant stroller with thick tires. (31) Even chocolate slices have already been divided automatically. (32) From a brand new embroidery kit, she readily “gave out” to her mother or grandmother a skein of thread of some special, scarce tone at that time. (ЗЗ) From her richest collection of shreds, she gave very valuable exhibits for decoration or repair.

(36) It has been noted more than once that in response to the question of sociologists and educators: “What qualities are you trying to instill in children?” - parents call courage, diligence, will, honesty and much less often - kindness. (37) However, recently they began to remember kindness more often - about kindness, which opposes anger, coldness, cruelty. (38) But the word "kind" has another meaning: "non-greedy, generous." (39) The most ordinary and also very necessary meaning for life.
