A medal. A story about the popular rapper Andryusha.
As a child, Andryusha went to music school and learned to play the piano.
Then he learned to play the guitar. With a group of guys he performed in the style of The Time Machine and The Tender May.
New times have come. Andryusha became interested in rap, became a rapper, and distributed videos of his work via the Internet.
One of his rapper acquaintances persuaded Andryusha to go to the mountains. There, the famous sculptor, right in nature, in the mountains, not far from his birthplace, staged an exhibition of his works.
Andryusha liked the idea of the exhibition, liked the air, the mountain views.
He decided to travel around the area.
A huge crowd of young people tried to cross the border. Andryusha decided that they wanted to see an even more interesting exhibition and joined them.
Abroad, he examined various cities and islands with interest. He worked, as he could, to earn money. One day he met a girl who taught him, in case of urgent need, to eat food that had expired. It wasn't that difficult.
In some countries located closer to the equator, a food grew directly on trees.
His foreign passport was about to expire. But Andryusha was not worried. He heard about the Nansen passport. Ivan Bunin lived with such a passport. Ivan Bunin was a creative person. And Andryusha is a creative person, too. Why can't Andryusha get a Nansen passport and live using it?
There was a romance feelings in Andryusha's character. He loved stories about knights and troubadours. One day, a neighbor on the plane told Andryusha about Malbork Castle.
Andryusha found out everything well, chose the moment, purchased an air ticket and arrived at the airport to visit Malbork Castle.
However, he completely forgot that his foreign passport had expired.
An airline girl-employee told Andryusha that with such a passport he could not be allowed on the plane.
Andryusha tried to persuade the pretty girl-employee. He spread his fingers, pushed his baseball cap to the back of his head and read for her the rap verses:
'Я шизанутый дила
Это вследствие badtrip
Вырубаю три семёрки чисто
У однорукого бандита...'
The pretty girl-employee looked at Andryusha with interest, but refused to allow to board the plane.
- How to get a Nansen passport?
- Unfortunately, pan Andryusha, I cannot tell you anything on this issue.
Andryusha found himself in a stalemate. And, as luck would have it, the money ran out and the foreign passport expired.
He stayed at the airport for a while. The airport employees looked at him, smiled and talked about some movie in which the main character lived at the airport for several years.
But soon a kind man appeared:
- I'm from the department for foreign policy. The airport administration informed us about your situation. Here is a temporary identity card and a plane ticket to our capital.
- Thank you very much!
- I what? A special fund has been created for people like you.
At that moment, Andryusha's smartphone received a message from a Nigerian lawyer who had come to the northern capital to formalize the inheritance that Andryusha received from a distant relative, a billionaire.
Andryusha had never heard anything about this relative-billionaire before. But the inheritance was about 15 million US dollars, so it was necessary to fly.
In the capital, Andryusha discovered that he was remembered and recognized.
One girl took a photo hugging him. She then showed the screen of her smartphone with a message that the Safe Traffic Foundation knew about the arrival of rapper Andryusha and this Foundation asked to check Andryusha for compliance with traffic laws.
Andryusha just laughed. He hasn't even left the airport yet - how can he break traffic rules? However, the photograph of the girl-foundation manager was quite nice.
The Nigerian lawyer stopped communicating. Once again the problem of finances arose in full force.
At that moment, two giants with short haircuts approached Andryusha. They gave him several compliments and persuaded him to join their team of athletes who are fans of 'sport orienteering' (a sport in which participants, using a sports map and a compass, must navigate a route (distance) unknown to them through checkpoints located on the ground).
The team of athletes needed a creative person to bolster their spirit.
The salary was of such magnitude that Andryusha did not believe in the reality of the offer. But one of the giants handed Andryusha a sports bag filled with cash as an advance payment.
- Where can I put my signature?
The giant smiled indulgently.
One day, during a competition, Andryusha got lost in the mountains at night.
He walked through the bushes. Finally, he sat down on some log to rest. The sky was overcast. There is darkness all around. Andryusha began to remember his childhood, music school.
Somehow, unnoticed by himself, he began to hum Glinka's Patriotic Song.
Soon in the darkness he heard a loud 'Hurray!!!'
It turned out that in the darkness and silence his voice could be heard several kilometers away. Performance of Glinka's Patriotic Song inspired his sports teammates. They felt a surge of energy and won the competition.
And since the team belonged to an influential department, all team members, including Andryusha, received departmental medals '"For Fortitude.'
In addition, all team members were given leave.
Andryusha came home with a lot of money and with a medal.
Andryusha's relatives greeted him with a honor. They were wiping away tears of joy. A box with great-grandfather's medals was taken out of the closet: 'For courage', 'For the liberation of Warsaw', 'For the capture of Budapest'.
Gathered drank in a family style. Relatives celebrated Andryusha's successes.
Andryusha fell asleep thinking about tomorrow.
He need to go tomorrow and start applying for a new foreign passport. And he need to plan what else to see: if not Malbork Castle, then Trafalgar Square... Nelson's Column stands there...
