A chance meeting with the Count of Monte Cristo. A story for children about Seryozha.
Seryozha was walking along the seashore, thinking about the excursion and about new ways to get money.
A wild beach.
A beautiful sportswoman jumps high in the fresh air.
All Seryozha's attention was directed to her. But, after a few moments, he saw two men looking at the pretty sportswoman and talking to each other.
Seryozha was approaching the strangers.
A younger man took out his smartphone, looked at the screen and exclaimed:
- The heat from the Sahara is approaching Europe! We need to help the Europeans! Let's send them a parcel of fruit!
- Walk along the ocean shore more often and admire the beautiful statue that is visible from everywhere! You will be less nervous! - answered the older man.
- People are dying from the heat! - the younger one insisted.
- Are there any exaggerations in these stories? Stories about different horrors can get boring ...
- 'We have an ocean coast,' - a younger man developed his thought, - 'we don't have a beautiful statue that is visible from everywhere. But we have a presidential palace in which bullet holes remained. Put your finger in one of these holes - and you will believe in the reality of stories ..."
The older man thoughtfully dipped his fingers into the sand and moved them. He took his palm out of the sand and showed his interlocutor a gold coin:
- Have you seen such a coin? Sometime?
- No!
Seryozha came very close to the men. He was fascinated by the older man, by that method with which the man pulled the gold coin out of the sand on the beach.
The older man directed his gaze to Seryozha, and a slight smile seemed to appear on his lips (or maybe it only seemed to Seryozha).
Seryozha decided to seize the moment and he held out his hand to the man:
- Seryozha!
The older man smiled distinctly and ironically.
He silently took his younger companion by the shoulders and went somewhere with him. Then he turned around and said out loud:
- Let's go, beauty!
The beautiful athlete stopped her training and followed the men.
Seryozha was not embarrassed by this turn of events. He pretended that he was doing a yoga exercises - with his outstretched hand (now yoga is very popular).
Seryozha continued his way along the shore. 'What it means to live on the ocean coast, to walk along the beach, to breathe fresh air! A simple sailor Edmond Dantès sailed the seas and oceans, then he sat in prison (in the middle of the sea, on the island), then he became the Count of Monte Cristo and then, slowly, he solved all his problems ... This is thanks to the healing sea air ... ".
A younger student from Seryozha's school was walking towards Seryozha.
- I saw ten minutes ago - here, on the shore - the Count of Monte Cristo! - Seryozha told the younger student.
- Tell me! In details!
- For this I need to be Alexandre Dumas! Have you read 'The Count of Monte Cristo'?
- No!
- Well, read it!... The money after my excursion are arriving?
- Yes.
Seryozha thoughtfully walked further along the shore.
The younger student followed him a little behind.
