To be stronger. Adventure story for children about Seryozha.
10,000 (ten thousand) rubles, received from a generous source, were very useful to Seryozha.
He is on board the plane. He drinks mineral water and flies towards the shore of the Caspian Sea.
The flight is nearing completion. It seemed to Seryozha that the Caspian sea glanced him through the porthole of plane. Seryozha feels a surge of joy. Soon he will jump into the sea water! Soon he will pat [stroke] the Caspian seal!
The adventures began after the plane landed at the destination airport.
Seryozha discovered that his luggage was left at the airport of departure. It's the result of a computer crash. The luggage will arrive - after the completion of Seryozha's travel.
And in the luggage - documents, money ...
Seryozha from the airport of arrival goes to the city on foot. A significant distance.
It's getting dark. Seryozha fell into some kind of deepening filled with something liquid. Aryk? Not an aryk?
It is good that in the dark it is difficult to see him, Seryozha, who is smeared with something. Some passers-by show Seryozha how to get to the hotel, where a room has been booked in advance.
At the hotel, Seryozha is greeted with astonished glances from the staff (the hotel staff plug their noses) and with questions about his money and documents.
- The luggage will arrive soon! - Seryozha promises.
- We will not be able to accommodate you without documents and without the payment ... - the hotel employee informs Seryozha sadly.
- I dreamed of seeing the Caspian Sea and a Caspian seal! - Seryozha exclaims.
- The sea is nearby. Two steps away, - the hotel employee shows with his hand the direction of movement to the sea.
Seryozha is happy. He goes towards the sea.
A night. But the surface of the sea is visible. The sea is beautiful.
Seryozha feels some object under his foot. This is a wooden sunbed that was thrown ashore by a wave.
Seryozha decides to lie down on the sunbed for a while and to think. And, at the same time, to admire the sea and to breathe in the good sea air.
A Caspian seal must be somewhere nearby. But how can Seryozha see it in the dark?
A night.
Seryozha, however, attracted attention to himself. Some people are gathering not far from him and in the dark they are trying to examine him.
On the one hand, it's nice. Seryozha, as the Chairman of the Public Council of the Pool, naturally should be in the spotlight. A popularity is a popularity.
On the other hand, there are no exclamations of admiration.
There may be questions related to dirt on clothes. Seryozha need to wash off the dirt, to put himself in order.
- I'm not going to explain anything! - Seryozha proudly says to the people who have gathered not far from him. He takes off own clothes and enters the sea.
Warm water. It's nice to have a little swim.
Seryozha feels the current, and a very strong one. Seryozha loses the ability to orientation.
An unpleasant situation. A night. An unfamiliar place. The sea water is around. Where is the coast!?
- Ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah! - Seryozha tries the strength of own voice. To shout "Help me!"? Or not to shout?
Suddenly, a meter away from him, the side of a cruising yacht appears.
- Why are you screaming?
- I am sinking! - Seryozha says honestly.
They give him a rope with a life buoy. He is dragged aboard the yacht.
- Where are you from?
Seryozha names his city. ('Documents and money are in the luggage - the luggage got stuck at the airport of departure. They didn't settle me in the hotel without money and documents. I was carried away by the sea current. Clothes remained on the shore.').
- We will sail nearby your city ... We sail the seas! For a tourism purposes. Now we are going along the Caspian, then along the Volga. Drink tea! Do you want to eat?
- Yes!
Seryozha is given old clothes and shoes.
- What are you doing? What kind of occupation?
- I have been appointed the Chairman of the Public Council of the Pool. The appointment of me as the General Sports Inspector is being prepared.
There is a long pause. Seryozha starts to worry. But, nevertheless, they will not going to throw him back into the sea water.
- You will wash the dishes, wash the deck.
- Certainly!
Owing to a happy combination of circumstances and to a centuries-old maritime traditions, Seryozha is sailing home. We can say, into the native harbor.
Various troubles make him, Seryozha, only stronger.
