The Fox, the Beaver and Others

Приятного аппетита

The cafe is almost empty. A customer tries in vain to choose a meal to his liking. The barmaid and two waitresses are discussing a recent radio program in which a retired waiter talks about the plight of his colleagues in the old days. The customer is nervous: borscht is impossible to eat, crayfish is already peckless, milk is sour, beer is warm.... The disappointed customer, leaving, says that he was the one who spoke on the radio. The waitresses apologize: they thought it was an ordinary customer, but now they will serve him in no time. The man refuses and in a peculiar way - by verse and personal example - gives a lesson in cultural service.

The First Violin

Sportland

The boy Mitya overslept in the morning. The alarm clock rang - he turned it off. The signal "Listen up everyone" / wake-up call to the Pioneer Dawn school sounded on the radio - he covered the loudspeaker with a pillow. The guys shouted through the window that the whole class had gone to take the BGTO standard, but Mitya was sleeping and was letting everyone down, which meant he would not receive the BGTO badge ("Be ready for work and defense"). But Mitya, with great reluctance, said, "I'll go tomorrow," and covered himself with a blanket.

A Pipe and a Bear

There was the morning in the forest, which means that it's time to get up, do exercises and wash. The most healthy resident of the forest is a Bear. He makes exercises every morning, and fresh forest air fills him with mighty health. Once walking in the woods, he discovers someone's smoking pipe, which was still smoking. Gently creeping up to the tube, he grabs it and runs off into the thicket of the forest. The next day our Bear no longer exercises, he lies under his tree and smokes. So it goes all summer and autumn comes.
