I was 9 years old, no more. I was in the bus with a neighbor girl, went out together at the stop, and then I saw the phone on the ground. I have to say that there were no mobile phones in our family, they lived poorly. And I was an extremely educated child who knew perfectly what was good and what was bad. Well, I picked it up and thought that the person will obviously be very upset about the disappearance, it needs to be returned somehow.

Then a bright thought came to my mind. My neighbor Olli, who was driving with me, is working in the police. How successful it is! “Oll, take the phone to the police and let him find the owner!”

Olya took the phone, said she was just going to Daddy, so everything goes as well as it can not be better.

I went home and told my mother all the situation. Mom for some reason did not appreciate my drive for justice and told me that I am a fool and a prostitute, I don’t think about family.

Of course, I was upset. I still do not understand how you can first teach a child to act according to conscience and kindness, and then give puzzles for what you have done honestly.

After a while, I met Olga. I think, right now, she will at least reassure me that I didn’t do that in vain.

She asked about the phone, and Olya said to me, "I brought the phone to Daddy, and he left it to himself, he needs work."

Such things.

Without the curved hands, the parallel straight would never cross.

The Student Construction Squad had an "inter-" prefix, in its composition, in addition to Soviet students, there were Germans, Vietnamese and one Dutchman. The Dutchman was born German, but was a member of the Communist Party of the Netherlands and was considered Dutch for diversity. We lived in an empty summer school. Who is where, and we are in the drawing and schedule office.

Brushes, paints, cactus on the window. German and Dutch Communists. It was because of him that on the third day the cactus was painted in the colors of Wilhelm of Orange. Have you seen the flag? There is a red line above.

And all this was seen by a young teacher of drawing, worried about the creation of a student dormitory in the accounting room. I don’t know what she thought of the plant, but after taking the position of the commander of the parade, she said:

Wash it immediately.

Everyone looked at her. Vietnamese - with wide open eyes, Germans with a targeted pimple, Russians - with an Asian trick. It’s hard to refuse a beautiful girl, but have you ever washed a cactus? There are needles.

We didn’t wash either. We painted it in green.

The President said that Russian citizens are "ready to give their lives for the Fatherland". As a conscious citizen, I have already prepared myself. I have a long list of people whose lives I am willing to give for my country. I think it will make the country easier.
