A Winter Waltz on Kosti-NF. A story.
Mrs. Quicktalker was walking along the corridor of native Kosti-NF radio station.
The temperature in the corridor was not very comfortable.
Mrs. Quicktalker looked into Mr. Wintertund's office. He was, as always, cheerful and optimistic:
- Are you working hard? It's right! Good!
- What do you think about all this? - Mrs. Quicktalker asked.
Mr. Wintertund suddenly closed his eyes and grabbed his heart.
- What's wrong with you? - Mrs. Quicktalker screamed. - Maybe call an ambulance?
- No... Call Sasha... He's transporting in his off-road vehicle...
Sasha appeared on the threshold of the office (together with the press secretary):
- You are not the first, you are not the last. Take several pills. I only give medications that are not in standard first aid kits.
Sasha gave Mr. Wintertund two pills.
After that, he (together with the press secretary) began loading Mr. Wintertund onto a folding stretcher:
- Now we will transport you to your home. You will warm up there, and everything will be fine.
Mr. Wintertund imperceptibly spat out the pills.
Having made sure that Mr. Wintertund headed home, Mrs. Quicktalker walked further down the corridor: 'I need to drink some hot coffee!'
A well-known chatterbox, working as a commentator on general issues, was walking towards her. He looked at the trembling Mrs. Quicktalker and began to tell:
- When we were in Potemkinsk, we saw an ultra-modern SUV. A man crawls out of it - so calm - 'Do you need help?'
We say: 'It's very cold!'
And he says so calmly: 'We will take the lighters out of our pockets. We will clicking. And everything will be fine. It will be warm!'
Having spoken out, the chatterbox (who works as a commentator on general issues) moved on.
Mrs. Quicktalker continued on her way to the cafeteria.
A cultural observer Frol Gitis was walking towards her:
- No need to click your teeth from the cold. We will broadcast a story about the Winter Waltz from the movie 'Ivan Petrovich Changes Position (Workplace)'!
Frol Gitis tried to take Mrs. Quicktalker by the waist and to waltz with her in several circles. She dodged.
Entering the cafeteria, which was lit with stearine candles, she noticed a glass of water someone had left on the table.
The surface of the water in the glass was slightly frozen.
The cafeteria employee kindly said to Mrs. Quicktalker:
- Due to technical reasons, the cafeteria is closed!
Mrs. Quicktalker walked out of the cafeteria back into the corridor.
A mechanical voice said loudly:
'Please leave the radio station and move to premises providing a heat!'
'Mr. Wintertund turned out to be the most prudent!' - Mrs. Quicktalker thought. - 'He went home in comfortable conditions. Now he is warming up at home. He is eating hot semolina porridge with milk!'
She got dressed and went outside. Taxi prices suddenly soared - increased several times.
Snowflakes were spinning. "Winter Waltz!"
