Katerina did not have time to be frightened when she fell into the dungeon and now looked around not so much with fear, but with surprise. She was in a room with copper walls, with an insulated ceiling. She left the room, which fell at the will of the owner, and began to bypass the entire dungeon. She did not feel anxious feelings from the industrial order.

      There was a feeling that the time in the dungeon is somewhat different. She was interested in the kitchen, yet she had to live here for five days! She saw the sink, faucet. Opened the faucet, from it went cold water bubbles. Next on the table was an electric tile with a spiral incandescent. In the table in the three-liter jars were cereals. Katerina found salt, but there was no sugar. Found a jar of tea. Noticed the pot, kettle. Five days it was possible to live. She showed no signs of a refrigerator.

      TV, the receiver she did not notice.

      Katerina counted five strange rooms and a kitchen. The light was the same everywhere – matte. There were no switches anywhere. That’s all at first glance. She looked around for a stool or chair. They were not there. She walked around the room, but did not find a single rookery. She decided to lean on the copper wall, but she was warm. Katerina increasingly wanted to sit down or lie down.

      Glance fell to the floor. Paul turned out to be a complete mystery, but did not want to solve it. Katerina sank to the floor, he was covered in signs. She noticed a protrusion on the floor and hit him with a heel. The projection shifted with part of the floor. The staircase led down somewhere. Without thinking, she began to descend into the present dungeon.

      A small room in the rock had a way out! Katerina bent and went toward the light: twenty meters – and she is free! That’s imprisonment! She looked around: there was a forest around. It was getting dark. Forest rustles instilled fear in the soul. She was taken by the shoulders! Katerina shuddered with her whole body and involuntarily looked around. She was in the hands of a certain Theophanes, a native of the village Copper dipper! “Where is he from here?” A thought flashed through Catherine’s head. “He’s not at all.”

      – Katerina, glad to meet you! Said Theophanes.

      – Who are you?

      – Sama said who I am.

      – Wait. I read in the newspaper that you were flying on an airplane, the pilot was still alive, and you were gone!

      – Funny girl! So I found. Look at me – it’s me, Feofan, son of Afanasy Afanasyevich.

      – But this can not be! I even invented a fairy tale, as if you turned into a bat! – outraged Katerina.

      “Have you been under a house in a copper basement?”

      – It was.

      – So exactly at this place our plane behaved strangely. This is not a copper room, it is a generator of anomalous phenomena. Good thing you got out of it.

      – I have a punishment: to sit in the generator for five days.

      “Good punishment, but it’s even better that you run away from him.” The pilot managed to land the plane on the field, but he could not take off and came up with the idea that there was no aircraft. And he himself, in his plan, catapulted, and I, in his invention, disappeared. Here he again went away from these places. And now I will save you on the plane. I can fly a plane and have cleared the landing area. And I lived in the barn with a certain Aunt Dasha. She bakes such pancakes – you will begin to rock!

      “I know their smells.”

      And at that moment the boron rustled, I heard the barking of dogs.

      A shot sounded in the air. Hunters with dogs jumped out into the clearing. The dogs rushed together to Theophanes and Katerina. The hunters stopped them with command voices. Theophan on the sly disappeared. Katerina was left alone, she even had a thought – was there Theophanes here?

      The hunters led the girl to the manor. They bowed to Afanasy Afanasyevich. The owner stood by the window and looked at Katerina with a piercing gaze. She shuddered at the thought that punishment was inevitable, and she did not want to go into the generator of anomalous phenomena. Katerina stood between the gate and the house and did not know what to do. She hesitantly went to the owner.

      – Feofan seen? – asked Prince Athanasius Afanasyevich. “Good, you’ll never see again.” Do not be afraid, you will no longer go into the underground, you got out of it – and well done, consider that five days have passed.

      – Afanasy Afanasyevich, and suddenly you are ill, because you live on the generator of anomalous phenomena?

      – Yes, I therefore live, that I live on this generator. It was built for me. And you, look, for you worry, it is valuable. Tomorrow you will begin to walk for a walk to the copper bench. I have not canceled your task.

      – Again, listen to the nonsense of the inhabitants of the house of Aunt Dasha?

      The rebellious Katerina reached the copper bench the next day, but got into a passing car and drove into the city.

      Vacations quickly passed.

      Once upon a time, Katerina’s own father, worse than bitter radish, was tired of heating the stove in an apartment located on the second floor of a wooden house. He went to the Steppe city. Before that, the family lived in a large industrial city, and next to their furnace houses, the first housing estate had already grown, with houses that had all the amenities, and among these houses was a new school. Katerina liked everything here, but there was a secret dream – a new house with all the amenities.

      But in life it happens that the dream is twisted in the opposite direction. Katerina and her family continued to receive cereals and white bread on the list. Mom did not find a place for herself without a father, so she handed out some things, and put the rest into a container. And Katerina went with her mother and brother to the city where her father lived.

      The girl had a long beautiful braid of blond hair, with which she left her city forever. Father rented two rooms in a small wooden house on the last street from the boundless steppe. The wind, the sun and the absence of rain sharply distinguished the steppe climate from the mountain climate. Katerina grew up a little more and looked like an adult girl.

      In small shops one could freely buy white bread, jam and cheese, that is, everything that was not sold where Katerina conquered the catwalk of beauty. Now she understands that everything was correct and the bread for the figure is harmful, but mothers and grandmothers who passed through military hunger did not understand this. They wanted white bread and chops.

      The whole family was waiting for a container with their belongings. It was the seventh of November. A festive parade of workers passed through the center of the city. From the procession through the city and began the acquaintance of the girl with a new habitat. In the arrived container was a broken mirror and things.

      A broken pierum against the background of ficus has long been the main decoration of a large room. In a small room, bed mattresses – this was the bed.

      Her new school consisted of three cardboard
