The deceased artist Porhovnikov told at a meeting with spectators.
In the 1970s, a film about the Civil War was filmed. The work goes in turn, but is briefly interrupted by some lengthy scroll:
Y-Y-Y-Y, Y-Y-Y-Y, Y-Y-Y-Y...
Everyone who was around froze and looked around.
To the place of the shooting approached an old-old claw, pulling behind an old-old brick. The entire structure was controlled inexpressively by an ancient grandfather, dressed in a proper way - caliphs, boots. Arriving close to the site, the brick stopped, and the grandfather began to watch closely what was happening. When he saw that there was no continuation, the people returned to their business.
The day was unsuccessful.
According to the director's plan, it was necessary to show the shooting Mauser with a large plan. And Mauser was suitable, but only the shooters could not shoot him. The pyrotechnicians broke off their feet and exhausted the entire stock of non-normative vocabulary, but the matter never progressed - Comrade Mauser shot only once - during the inspection after the next repair. As soon as he got into the search engine, the shooting stopped.
- I-I-I-T, I-I-I-T, I-I-I-T... - the carriage turned and went in the opposite direction.
The filming continued; from time to time the director returned to Mauser, but it was all unsuccessful.
- Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y The grandfather used his sinus and pulled out some clutter; something heavy, wrapped in an oily cloth.
He turned, and the eyes opened a magnificent Mauser; cared for and shining like a new one.
“Take it,” said the grandfather, “this never gives a bucket.
And did not cheat. With anything, and with Mauser, there was no problem anymore.
I don’t remember what it was for the movie, but who knew – in the movie was Mauser of the same grandfather.
