Leonid Ilyich sometimes fell asleep with difficulty.
A man of culture, a writer in such cases reads the best works of the world literature.
Leonid Ilyich took from the bookshelf the fairy tale "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and began to read.
"Got up in the morning, tidy up, put in order the planet!"
"How nice, how warmly is written... How many things to do ahead... "- Leonid Ilich said.
"You 're responsible for the ones you tame!"
"Yes, yes, I'm responsible ... I would like a well-deserved rest, but ..."
Leonid Ilyich is reading the fairy tale and the Little Prince as if beside him.
If it is not possible to retire to a well-deserved rest, it is necessary to think about business...
- "Could you speak at the discussion of a very important document? This document - it will make the every inhabitant of one sixth of the earth's surface happy ... It will be a fairy tale ..."
The little prince turned into a little princess:
- "I'm ready!"
Leonid Ilyich really wanted to believe in a fairy tale:
- 'Did you really arrived from an asteroid?'
- "Yes Yes! Of course!..."
Leonid Ilyich felt happy. The hand, holding the book, sank imperceptibly onto the blanket. And Leonid Ilyich calmly fell asleep ...
