Rushed

Behind the windows a black forest flashed, on the table in a steel bowl borscht was cooled, tea was drizzled with a glass. What could be more fun than a restaurant car? I was his last visitor that day. The director sat at my desk and we talked.
From politics, the conversation gently came to the upbringing of children and the director (unfortunately, I never knew his name) told this story:

The child cannot be fooled. Whom you want to cheat: a friend, a wife, a boss, but your son never.
Unfortunately, we realize this very late. Twenty years ago, I met the best father in the world. His children can only be jealous. of humanity.
I went to Simferopol then, and the same evening, a man came to me in the restaurant, with a small cellophane bag in his hands, in which the fish is seen. The man laughed and said:

"Sorry, I have a huge request for you, a question of life: could you hide this in your freezer until Simferopol?

I still thought – well, they’re obsessed with myself in general and I answer:

How do you imagine it? Should I bring your unknown fish to your freshest products? So what? Throw away this leech and don’t shake my head, I even feel through the bag its smelling smell.
- Yes, I understand everything, but you see, it's not entirely lazy, or rather not just lazy. In order for you to understand me correctly, I will tell you from the beginning. Even in April, my daughter was four years old, and she always dreamed of getting a Mermaid for her birthday and not a toy with a cracked tail, but the most real, alive. I was stupid and promised, Daddy can do anything. What had to be done was to buy a Barbie doll, paint her hair in green, break her legs, take in a fish store a live leach, cross it off half, pull it out slightly from the inside and fix it with a screw through the hole from the legs. Well, you will see for yourself (he got out of the package of this beast with a puppet body, and from under the tightly knotted rubber dress was a real fish tail)
Since then, for three months now, I have been forced every three or four days to change her fading tails with new ones. At first I counted, then I missed the account, probably a ton of fish was transferred to her. He was already not happy to get involved, but there is nowhere to go, the daughter just loves her, kindergarten girlfriends also come to visit, jealous. They also convinced me that you can't sleep with a Mermaid, she should live in the refrigerator. And in general, in the air, the Mermaid sleeps all the time like a sleeping beauty, and she will live up only at home in the underwater kingdom. Look, we barely reached the holiday, we go, finally, to let the sufferer go to our father, the sea king. But, I am afraid that we will not reach the sea, the corpse begins to rot. Can you help with Morocco? Can you give me a piece of ice?

Of course, I helped, even a new tail from the hookup was arranged for her. As long as you get from Simferopol to the sea, and it's another four hours, you shouldn't go away.
Here is the real father with the big letter, “you, the present are nuts”.
