The preamble.
This was in America in 1999. We worked on a joint program with the Americans. Installation of equipment both Russian and American. As a result, Russian installers and American workers work in one not very large space. Communication, if necessary, is carried out only through an interpreter. Our installers, knowing that American engineers and workers do not understand Russian, no longer embarrassed, accompany all their actions with familiar expressions.
The Ambulance.
I stand on the bottom floor. There are two Americans there. I want to communicate, but the language barrier does not allow.
A few squares above, someone runs a hole key, which crashes to the bottom square just outside of us and falls. A man standing next to him, throwing his finger into the falling key, commented:
“The Devil!“He looks at me with a happy face. I was going to sneak, right. At this point, the second American corrects:
“Wow, the dolphin!” I cried from laughter.
