A wristwatch. A story for children about Seryozha.


The Foundation for Assistance to Foreign Victims of Disappeared Postage Stamps was doing well. The result was produced by both the advertising and the semi-automatic contributions to the Foundation during various payments with debit and credit cards.


During computer science lessons, Seryozha was taking a calculator and was trying to determine when he could buy such an SUV so that everyone would look at the huge and unusual car with respect, when he could hire a personal press secretary.


As a result of operating with the calculator, it turned out that he needed to wait three to four months.


'It's going to take a long time to wait,' Seryozha thought.


He began to cautiously make inquiries about the possibility of receiving a large contribution to his Foundation.


Gradually, out of the fog of uncertainty, the contours of a reputable organization began to emerge, which has its own mines with very useful minerals. All people of position deal with this organization, albeit in a confidential way.


And this organization is located not far from the Pool.


Everything became clear. Seryozha comes to this reputable organization and convincingly talks about the Foundation. He explains that financial assistance from this organization sent to the Foundation will be the subject of widespread awareness among Internet users. After this, the organization transfers a large amount to the Foundation. Seryozha buys a noticeable SUV and hires a press secretary for himself.


The next day, after school, Seryozha went to the Pool, and from the Pool he headed to a reputable organization.


Amazing thing! This has never happened to Seryozha.


People walked towards Seryozha, smiling at him and looking at him affectionately. He, Seryozha, is known to everyone, he has become a prominent figure. But such situation, when all the people he meet are looking at him affectionately and everyone are smiling - this was unusual, this had never happened before.


Seryozha seemed to be moving in a stream of people walking in the same direction.


Here is the required entrance.


There is a huge turnwheel at the entrance. But respected people, with the most beautiful briefcases, they do not enter through the turnwheel.


They enter through a glass door, which is located slightly to the side of the huge turnwheel.


Respectable people, with the most beautiful briefcases, enter through the glass door.


Seryozha is already near the door. The man walking in front of him politely holds the door, looks affectionately at Seryozha, and smiles.


Suddenly Seryozha's heart skipped a beat, stopped for a moment.


He sees a wristwatch. He had seen such a watch only twice before this situation. The first time in a glossy magazine. The caption under the photo stated that the watch was worth one hundred million dollars, and that it was produced in a single copy.


The second time he saw such a wristwatch was when he was sitting in an armchair in a penthouse, and in front of him on the sofas sat people in bathrobes and opaque hoods.


One of these people in bathrobes had a wristwatch like this.


And now he sees such a watch for the third time.


Seryozha involuntarily stopped.


The man with the expensive watch held the door open, waiting for Seryozha to start entering the building.


Unpleasant memories flashed through Seryozha's head. Whether he had such a desire or not, he had to write with a finger soaked in a cocktail that he, Seryozha, will cheating, lie, confusing. It's unpleasant to write such things in a hopeless situation, even using a cocktail.


What if they force him to dip his finger in a red paint and to write on a black paper?


He will either have to walk around with his finger stained with red paint, or wipe his finger with solvent. In general - it's a some kind of headache.


Seryozha slowed down.


A man with an expensive watch was holding the door, looking tenderly at Seryozha and smiling kindly.


Seryozha looked at him skeptically and redirected his look aside. There is no desire to enter.


The man with the expensive watch was slightly surprised. He shrugged and closed the glass door behind him.


Seryozha remained on the street, in front of the building.


'What day of the week is it today? It seems that today kids-fans of postage stamps are gathering at the Philatelists Club. I will go and look at the stamp albums with them,' Seryozha thought.


Seryozha looked at the glass door and headed towards the Philatelists Club.
