A pleasant haircutting. A humorous drawing.


I open the door and enter into the barbershop: "Come in! We are open!"

The employees of the barbershop look at me in bewilderment and questioningly.

"It's written on your door," I explain in Russian.

Laughter and smiles: "We are not very understand!" [The word "understand" is pronounced - as in English]

- Can I get a haircut here?

The administrator announces the price: about one and a half to two times more than in "ordinary" hairdressers.

- If you will execute (fulfill) a haircutting good, I'll pay.

- And if it will be bad?

- Then it will remain on your conscience.

One of the elegant, pretty girls-hairdressers sits me down in an armchair.

- How must I cut your hair?

- Do the haircutting so that you like it!

- Okay!

- I see that I have fallen into the hands of a professional, of a specialist.

- Thus, our meeting it's (a Will of) a Destiny.

An interesting turn of thought.

- Well, if you put an issue such a way, then let's ride bicycles. On the Left Bank of the Don River there is a sports recreation area with a pond (reservoir) (near the shopping Mega-Center), where visitors can rent bicycles and ride. It’s time to start the cycling season of this summer.

- I didn't have a bike, but I can ride a bike.

- I've been there recently. I asked at the Mega-Center - from employees, from sellers, from those who smoked in front of the entrance, - I asked everyone! - how do I get to the sports recreation area? No one could explain the way. I had to navigate by the Sun myself, by indirect signs. Gradually I found the way. The road to one of the berths (moorings) was open. Two people before me me jumped from this mooring into the water. I looked at them and said, "I see smart people here! Why don't I join them?". I began to undress. A guard is running (out of a distant building): "You can't swim here!" "In front of me, two people jumped into the water here!" "You can't! It's not allowed! " But while he was running, I jumped into the water. He is indignant. And I, because I gained extra weight and do not have the skill to jump out of the water onto the mooring, I hold out my hand to him - "pull me out the water". He grumbles something displeased and steps aside. But one of the smart people returned - one of those who jumped into the water before me – and he in a human-loving style pulled me out the reservoir onto the mooring.

- I also used to work in a Mega-Center, and I also don't know how to get to the recreation area. I will go on vacation to the sea and swim there. I'm afraid to go into the water in unfamiliar reservoirs.

- What kind of your job was in the Mega-Center?

- My friend (a man) opened a retail outlet there. I worked there as a salesgirl. It was a long time ago.

- Have you been working as a hairdresser for a long time?

- About a year and a half. Many people take me for a sixteen-year-old. In fact, I'm older.

- I thought you is fifteen-year-old. That's why I suggested cycling. If I thought you elder, I would have offered you something else. Tomorrow is Sunday. There will be a lot of people in the recreation area. It is better to go on a weekday.

- If we were destined to meet here, then we will meet, of course, someday (in a future) there, next to a pond and a bicycle rental.

- When the barbershop will be opened there, I'll come get a haircut, and I will see you then.

- And now the haircutting is completed. I like it.

- I will look at myself in the mirror at home and will come to some opinion.  But I liked you.

- You told me to cut yours hair so that I liked the result. I like.

- I take it as a compliment. A good mood is also a value.

I got  out the money for the haircut, added a little to the appointed price.

Girl is smiling.

We hug lightly goodbye.

I look at myself in the mirror at home. She cut my hair well. I like.
