The foreign company is completing its activities, - Lenya Bobrov supposes. A drawing.
Lenya Bobrov, in the style of Nordic walking, made trips along a certain route.
A small part of this route passed along the street with private houses.
There was always a dog whining here.
Lenya became interested in why the dog was whining, and took a closer look. It turned out that a young, fairly large female dog was sitting by the fence, whining.
Beyond the fence were children, usually without adults.
Once Lenya saw these children playing in the street. The dog sat behind the fence, envied the children playing, and whined especially loudly. The children looked healthy and prosperous.
There was a case when as children so and dog were running after each other along the street. They looked happy.
Once Lenya saw an open gate, several young women and a truck driving away with the emblem of a well-known foreign company.
Gradually, Lenya formed such a picture.
Several families from depressed provincial settlements moved to a larger city and got a job in a famous foreign company. "Together", they rented a private house.
The children were happy here. They also brought a dog here.
The dog was noisy, but cheerful. She made the children happy.
Perhaps these people gained prosperity unprecedented for European Russia: the men worked, and the women stayed at home with their children - however, Lenya considered this option unlikely. This is Lenya's fantasy played out.
When it became clear that the foreign company was curtailing its activities, Lenya saw one of the boys on the street. The boy looked at Lenya with an attentive, sad look, as if asking if Lenya could help?
Then all these people fell out of Lenya's sphere of attention.
And today Lenya suddenly remembered that for two weeks he had not heard a whining dog, had not seen children playing behind a fence or on the street, had not seen a truck with a famous emblem.
End of short-lived well-being?
The life in a private home of happy children (with a dog) - in a house rented "together" - ended?
It was as if the wind had blown away both the energetic dog and these people with a short history of well-being.
Lenya felt regret - both for the energetic dog, and for the children, and for the provincials, who were able to live in a style of a relatively prosperous life for a short time ...
But now it necessary to think about Taiwan. So do not be distracted by other topics, but listen to the radio ...
Lenya hopes for a trip to Africa - at public expense ...
