Lenya Bobrov participates in a steeplechase in memory of Chekhov and puts up a book product for sale. A story.
The steeplechase in memory of Chekhov has ended - to receive a large metropolitan grant for talented creative youth.
Lenya recalls the details of his personal participation in this event.
Everything in memory is like in a fog.
A collection point.
Solemn speeches.
A special uniforms is handing to participants.
A shot sounds - this is the signal of the starting pistol.
Lenya chooses the shortest, but also the most dangerous path. In addition, Lenya takes into account that he is not able to cross the English Channel in winter cold water.
So Lenya heads to his destination across the bridge.
If it was so easy to cross the bridge, then more than one Lenya would have chosen this route. In several places the bridge has collapsed and water is visible below. In these places he have to jump over the "chasm".
Lenya is jumping. Everything is going well. In physical education classes at school, Lenya received high study grades.
On land, you need to be no less careful than on the bridge. The organizing committee of the competition laid out bait toys made using nano-technologies and equipped with micro-chips. If somebody picks up such a bait or steps on it - such person left the race.
Lenya successfully gets to a huge complex, reminiscent of film sets of a huge film studio.
Complete darkness. He have to shine a flashlight. (A flashlight is included in the set, which was handed before the start of the run).
Lenya cautiously moves forward. He feels hungry. According to the steeplechase program, he must to cook some hot food and to boil some tea.
Lenya finds an apartment with beautiful parquet.
Resourceful participants of the competition use parquet, not some rubbish.
Lenya makes a fire. It becomes lighter and warmer.
Lenya satisfies hunger and thirst.
The pavilions are ended.
The beautiful sceneries began.
Here is the dacha where the grand dame (from capital) stayed. She discussed important human rights issues with local figures, and during breaks she read Chekhov.
According to the legend of the competition, out of absent-mindedness, she left a volume of Chekhov in a chic dacha.
The participant of the competition who will find this volume of Chekhov will receive a large metropolitan grant for talented creative youth.
Lenya searched the whole dacha. A lot of interesting. In one of the rooms, for some reason, there were the special bank bags for transporting cash. But - empty ones. No Chekhov.
Lenya is forced to return.
The way back was like the Valley of Geysers in Kamchatka.
A kind of fountains were suddenly rising from the water and a sharp sounds were hearing.
Unpleasant rattles, crackling sounded from the shore.
Lenya successfully overcame all obstacles, although he did not discover Chekhov in a luxurious dacha.
Finally (after return), Lenya finds himself in his hometown, at home .
It is quite possible that him, like other participants in the competition, the special uniform will be left.
This is just a guess. For example, in a book about Valentin Pikul, Lenya read that when Pikul was fired from a special school, Pikul handed over official shoes and he walked barefoot down the street.
In general, you need to spin.
Lenya finds on his shelf a book in which Chekhov is listed as the author, and puts Chekhov's book up for sale - on the Internet.
Even if Lenya did not receive a large grant for talented creative youth, he took part in a steeplechase in memory of Chekhov, and he can hope for a profitable sale of the book where Chekhov is credited as the author.
