Having opened a package, it has found there the unopened letter, and also rather detailed message from seltsovskogo
pochtarja.
The essence of the matter was reduced to that after two days after its departure, Markova, back to Leningrad is inexplicable
suddenly has acted in film from a place and the forester. It has run on skis in district where rustled, demanded, that it have
calculated "sow minutes", and having been discharged, this very day has collected belongings and has left in an unknown
direction. Its old woman left gloomy, silent and a scarf - to eyebrows.
To the place of the forester of interested persons was not yet: dalekonko from village, and a house plohonky. In an empty
log hut children, and vnuchok Nefedov with them ran, speak: terribly there, - in the furnace of a cold spark continually skip.
Though it is not clear, whence to sparks to undertake when to bake which day netoplena and even, speak, has burst to the
basis, and from it like an ebony would sprout. Children have somehow broken off a tree, very strange it seemed to them.
Nefedov has adapted a stick under a broom. And here, as ill-luck would have it, it have caused in district, and vozvratjas, he
in a log hut has found a roar and birches. The grandson, and birches, judging by them izmochalennomu to a kind roared,
have been applied by the Nefedovoj-daughter not without knowledge of business. Old pochtar long sought truths. Left so
that all children of a small village under Nefedov-grandson leadership have started to represent devils suddenly. One of them
flied astride a broom, others with squeal and a laughter pursued it. Flied on a broom...
The old man has become thoughtful. The grandson does not deny, but it is impossible to trust all the same.
The grandson, the truth, completely refused charge in devilry.
Went for a drive by turns, and all here. Cheerfully, here also squealed. In any devils to play it and to a head did not come. It
was simple fine that dedova the broom by itself by air flies, and it was necessary to brake very artfully, having aimed in a
stack and having exposed forward feet. Went for a drive until the turn is not has reached Katki Birjukovoj who for fear has
forgotten as it is necessary to stop, has blinked and has unclenched hands. The broom has rushed on a straight line, and
nobody could catch up with it, it has torn off a cable wire, has taken down a lightning rod on the Village Soviet, has scared
away the women who have gathered at selpo, and has disappeared in a direction of Behovsky lake.
Here is how affairs in Seltse were. In summary Nefedov added that though the forester and is not present it is more, to
Markovu on village will be glad and stop it can in any log hut so let it vsenepremennejshe comes at any time and with full
pleasure.
Marks has reflected. Perhaps to go all the same and to tell? He has decided that will go and will tell, and to it at once it
became easy, as happens after the carried out unpleasant obligation. But it all postponed the campaign any day, it be not
become clear yet that anywhere behind prescription it is not necessary to go.
And in same it is a high time, in the summer (for January in southern hemisphere - the middle of summer) small group from
three it is heavy gruzhennyh jeeps slowly moved on stony plateau of northeast Brazil, going from Monte-Santu to state of
Pernambuco. A final point of their travel should become Poko-yes-krus where expedition Eten Bretta waited, the talented and
active person, not afraid to charge itself with all burdens and responsibility of the governmental company on obvodneniju
Brazilian sertan - the lifeless earths dried up by heat.
The head car was conducted by the Negro. He carefree glanced at the road which was quite often absolutely lost among
ugly heaps of a cactus. Then it added speed, and cactus stalks broke with an elastic, squelching sound, so light green juice
zabryzgival glasses. The person sitting near to the driver, discontentedly screwed up the face.
