Friends found out that some people were selling a horse. But the sale is moving tightly - the horse is very thin.
Sellers, in order to make additional profit, decided to organize entertaining trips on this horse.
The horse was harnessed into a racy carriage, and she makes an entertaining trip around the area with passengers in the carriage.
Senya did not agree with the proposal of friends. Now is the time that every minute should be used efficiently.
Senya and friends, after discussion, decided that Senya would not only ride a horse carriage, but - most importantly - he would improve his acting skills.
Senya, together with several friends, got into the carriage, and the horse began to pulling the carriage forward.
Senya took out a collection of short stories by Anton Chekhov, thought and began to read lines from the story "Misery" ["Тоска"]:
"" - Chew? - Jonah asks his horse, seeing of her sparkling eyes. "Well, chew, chew ... If we will not eat oats, we"ll eat hay ... Yes ..."
Friends were delighted. Even the horse moved its ears.
After the trip, the sellers freed the horse from harness, inflated the horse through a straw (to make it look fed), and sold it.
Senya and his friends headed to the sports ground.
Senya was pleased. Anton Pavlovich is an excellent writer ... And what good plays for the theater he wrote ...
