The gifts of magicians.

From Yash to Yana half an hour on sabhae. Both are divorced, he shares an apartment with his parents, she took the only bedroom to the schoolchildren and sleeps in the living room. The richest city in the world, with about four million such poor immigrants, does not want to share its wealth. Six months ago, they met with common friends, and since then life has become much more tolerant, although material difficulties have gone nowhere.

She works as a social worker, he transports and collects furniture. Work is tough, but there are times when you can call and talk. One trouble: in the courtyard the beginning of two thousand, cell phone conversations are paid for a minute, and these minutes hit the pocket hard, talk Яна loves. Only calls within one provider are free, but their providers are different – say, Yasha Sprint, and Yana Verayzon.

A new year is coming, 2005. Delicate Yashin's parents went to celebrate with neighbors, our heroes remained alone. Yasha opens a champagne, gives Jan a cheap silver ring and says:
Sunny, it was not an easy year. But it was a very happy year because I met you. The ring is something that can be passed from hand to hand. My gift is another. Today I went to a cell phone store and transferred all my phones – and my parents – from Sprint to Verizon. Now you can talk free as much as you want.

Then Anna begins to cry. Through tears he said:
You and I are two idiots. I also wanted to give you a gift. I went to a cell phone store and transferred all my phones – and my children – from Verayzon to the Sprint. This is a two-year contract without a penalty cancellation.

Yasha stirred her on her shoulder:
Why are you killing yourself? There was a disagreement, offensive, but even funny. It is just money. We will earn.
“I’ve had all my life of such inconsistencies,” Janas cries out. I am a complete coincidence. That week she confused Tuesday with Wednesday, leaving the car on the wrong side of the street – a $100 fine. The cake today twice helled, in the first it was poured salt instead of sugar. The bridegroom chose, it turned out to be alchemy. You seem to be okay, and here’s that shit with the phone.

Yasha remained silent for a long time, and then said:
I know what to do. Let my parents stay with Verizon, and I will move on to your contract at the Sprint. This is a family plan, up to five phones can be connected, right?
will not succeed. Family plan only for family members.
“Well,” says Yasha. I am about what? Give the ring for a minute. The seller advised me to take a bracelet for the same price, and I insisted: the ring, and that’s all. I knew I would need it. This, I understand, is a coincidence.
