The Sketch about an Egyptian camel

The Sketch about an Egyptian camel


Nikita Sergeyevich comes to Egypt.

A lot of interesting things: pyramids, Sphinx, temple complexes...

The program of the visit includes a short walk by a camel and photography.

Nikita Sergeyevich ride on a camel. "Better on a tachanka...".

People approaches. Accompanying persons explain: a very historic man. Remembers still Napoleon. "Forty centuries are looking at you, soldiers!". He personally heard.

This historical man is not just silent. He says nice things: "you ride a camel better than Napoleon's marshals."

Someone from the Russian companions of Nikita Sergeyevich began to worry: "Turn situation into a joke. This man is talking nonsense".

Nikita Sergeyevich is not inclined to listen to advices. But he said jokingly: "Oh troika, winged troika, tell me who invented you?!"

All lovely smiled.  And Nikita Sergeyevich went back to Russia.

Reporters are interviewing him. Among themselves, exchange views: "He ride a camel better than Napoleon's marshals!"...

Pleasant country - Egypt...  Perhaps, in it even there live people who remember Napoleon's marshals riding camels..
