The Short Story of how Vanya Zhukov announced about Maxim Gorky and sweet buns
Vanya returned after delivery of pizza and settled down at the pool. The employee of personnel of the estate brought coffee, a cigar and fruit.
Suddenly there was the Deputy Ambassador.
- "Urgently in the plane!"
- ""Do you want to admire the ocean again, sitting in a chair on the bank of the pool, to smoke the Havana cigar, to drink coffee, it is good to eat?"" - Vanya demonstrated the trained, by the example of Alexander Isaich, memory.
- "Do not forget about obligations! To you was an opportunity to execute a favorable assignment is given! On a patronage you were sent to the hunting estate for the solution of a question of recovery of the certificate of the member of literary association! The percent are increasing!"
Vanya in reply declared that Maxim Gorky carried out a third of life abroad, including in Italy (in general), and on the island of Capri (in particular). And in youth Maxim Gorky worked in a bakery and, even, was engaged in delivery of sweet sweet buns.
- Do not forget about the 150th anniversary of the birth of Maxim Gorky and the wide celebration of this anniversary! - the Deputy Ambassador said. - In such days, every responsible writer should be among colleagues - in his native land!
- What about the visit to Gorky (in Italy) of sailors from the battleship "Paris commune" and the cruiser "Profintern"? - Vanya tried to argue.
The deputy ambassador looked at Vanya not kindly.
Vanya saw that polite people - apparently, writers - interested in the widest celebration of the 150th anniversary of M. Gorky's birth (on his native land and with the participation of Vanya) were approaching along the alleys of the Park.
However, as it appeared, after the delivery of the "new" heavy sport bags, placed under the beds, the estate, where there lived Vanya, was under imperceptible, but effective control.
In response to appearance of the polite writers interested in the broadest celebration of the 150 anniversary since the birth of Maxim Gorky other polite people preferring, perhaps, Gabriel García Márquez appeared.
Vanya urgently declared that he is the tourist from Europe who became the patriot of the Latin American republic for the love of nature and her nice history:
- I respect "collectivos" and intends to to join the home guard! Revolution and freedom!
The Minister of Energy who arrived after end of the working day confirmed that any supporter of revolution has a right to be in rows of a defenders of the Republic:
- "The people and the victory!"
- "Law and democracy!"- Vanya confirmed.
The estate Manager turned on the songs of the Beatles.
In such a Patriotic atmosphere, in another hemisphere and more than a year after the anniversary of Maxim Gorky to insist on a someone's (including the Vanya's) participation in the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the great writer was not appropriate.
- You will realize that you behaved wrong! - the Deputy Ambassador and polite writers went to an exit from a manor.
The polite admirers of Gabriel Garcia Marquez quietly disappeared.
Vanya drank coffee with relief and examined himself. Decent clothes and good shoes were on him. From the depths of memory was preparing to rise another book for publication in the collection of works. To the pool in a swimwear there was Vanya"s wife...
- Maxim Gorky! Sweet buns! - Vanya declared towards the back of the Deputy Ambassador.
Vanya drank another sip of coffee and lit a cigar...
