The Sketch about a new understanding

The Sketch about a new understanding


There is a student of the Literary institute named after Gorky along a Moscow street and sadly thinks: "Positions of theatrical figures are strengthening …".

He comes into the cafe and takes a cup of coffee. He looks back. Also sees: the theatrical director sits beside the next table. He, seems, to be one of the widely known.

The mood at the student improved: "I - in the center of the cultural world!"

On pleasures, the student takes in addition to coffee also cake and sings:

"Vene-ti-an Moor Othello
One little house visited...".

Suddenly some person, similar to some famous person, comes and pulls out the theatrical director from cafe.

The student began to worry.

There was a person – the guy in a bullet-proof vest and with a badge  "press": 

– Boys, I not understand something, who does the application, concerning the hostess??

Student sobered by the idea, that guy in the stupid form expressed. "He's not a fool. We're fools!”

There was a wish to leave quicker the cafe far away.

The student drank up coffee quicker, ate up a cake and went outside

"He wants to dive... You see! A diver!"

The student saw some a stranger, walking towards him. It seemed to the student that he hears: "It seems, he is from the Literary …"

The student just in case quickened the pace.
