is alive. He will wake up, and we need nothing to be recognized.
Rimma involuntarily obeyed Alex and quickly got into the car. The golden-colored car tore off, leaving behind a cloud of dust.
The man lying next to the yoke looked after the dusty cloud:
– Oh, woke up! Sleep was not allowed.
And he again curled up next to the yoke.
A woman in a chintz dress with flowers approached the beam. She picked up two buckets and a rocker, not paying attention to the man lying on the grass, slowly went to the well. She calmly pulled a bucket to her, fixed on a crane, and recoiled with horror from him: in the bucket there was a poisonous yellow liquid. She tried to pour the yellow mixture onto the ground, but the mixture curled into a ball, like a man at the rocker, and hung at the bottom of the bucket. The woman decided to remove the bucket from the crane, but she did not succeed. The public bucket was well secured by the barbarians. Then she returned to the lying man and began to wake him:
– Get up!
– Unhook it! I am sleeping!
The woman sighed sadly and went home. And at home she did not have water even in the sink, which should be pressed from below, and the notorious wooden green comfort was hidden among the bushes of green gooseberries.
At this time, the golden car slowed down next to the mansion, painted in sunny color and covered with a copper roof. The house stood in the village like a dandelion on the lawn. Rimma first left the car. While on the move, taking off her yellow jumpsuit and smiling with a firm smile, she entered the bathroom, touched the faucet, and water poured into her hands. She turned the faucet again, and water filled in from the different ends of the bluish bath, filling the container. She closed the door closer behind her.
While Rimma was in the bathroom, Alex in the hall turned on a screen the size of a wall and saw a report from Saturn’s satellite. This satellite was called Earth by the inhabitants of the Earth – 2. All life of earthlings seemed to be reflected on a new planet. In the transmission from the Earth – 2 showed convenience in new homes, but instead of transparent water, a yellow compound consisting of incomprehensible substances flowed from a tap.
Alex shuddered, remembering that today they were trying to wash themselves with this rare substance that he had brought from Earth – 2, but only they had smeared the local well. He felt ashamed that he had left a yellowish-copper tangle of mucus in the bucket of a well, even though it cost a lot of money.
People with buckets began to approach the well. It was the only well with a crane and a tub in a small village; the inhabitants lost the habit of taking water from the river. The men tried to remove the bucket attached by a chain to the crane, but they did not succeed, and they did not want to lower the yellow slimy clot into the well. Suddenly, men dressed in country-style clothes began to be pushed away from the tub by a strong young man in silver overalls. He deftly grabbed the yellow clot with his hands in strange gloves, and soon disappeared into the car.
Rimma came out of the bathroom and saw Alex entering the house, carrying a yellow lump of cosmic mucus in her hands.
– Rimma, you and I forgot a sample of the detergent from the Earth – 2, I returned it…
Soon they returned home, away from alien problems.
Chapter 2
On the screen next to the presenter a television diva was spinning with a quads haircut that many have already done. Without thinking twice, Rimma went to the salon – a hairdresser to make her haircut. The girl, looking at her hair, offered to make a square on the leg. She diligently began cutting hair, but something lingered on the occipital region for about fifteen minutes, giving the side strands no more than a minute. The result haircut exceeded all expectations. Remember the hanging mustaches, so in their role were the side strands of hair, and between them the grotto was cut instead of the mouth.
One way or the other.
Regardless of age, Rimma always went to workouts, so this time she went to a regular workout at a sports club, but after a workout for some reason, she swayed with exhaustion. She saw a birch tree and clasped a white silky tree trunk.
However, the birch itself clasped the girl with its branches and pressed it into the trunk. Rimma was in the trunk of a tree. She slowly sat down on something resembling a seat, which under her weight began to move. The seat, along with Rimma, slowly began to sink under the ground, while increasing the diameter of the room. Rima felt the braking, the seat stopped. It was surrounded by a cylindrical marble hall.
At some point in time, marble slabs parted in front of her eyes, she saw glass behind which there was a tunnel. There were horses in the tunnel. The glass slowly moved to the side along with the image of horses. She was really in the tunnel, where a mini – train was waiting for her. She got into an empty car, the train picked up speed and rushed into the unknown.
Rimma did not have time to come up with options for their destination. The train stopped without her intervention. She got out of the car, in which there were no more than ten seats. There was no driver in the small cabin, but the train drove on, as if it did not notice the absence of a passenger. Rimma was on a small underground station with no signs of life.
Desolation reigned around, which was many decades old. She shrank from fear and despair, seeing no way out. Rusty metal is not pleased, from the ceiling oozing water and went deep into the earth. There were puddles under her feet, like in the market where she was this morning. She looked up again and saw a towel, but not one, there were many of them, they were connected one to one.
Rima climbed up the nodes from the towels. The last obstacle she overcame through the metal stairs and found herself in the marble hall of the bath. The well from which she came out closed.
– You can not be beautiful like that! – A male voice sounded under the vaults of the bath and added: – And so poor.
– Who are you? Rimma whispered, emitting light from her huge eyes.
– The owner of the market, where you buy things and give. I bought the things you donated. By the way, they are no longer sold in my market, “said an arrogantly certain owner in the voice of Sidor Sidorovich.
– Well, I will not buy things in the market entrusted to you! – Rimma said, quite familiar with the situation.
– Today bought a jacket and to whom? Do you need her? Not! Thank you said? Not! What are you giving away? – thundered a male voice under the marble vaults.
– I always do that. I buy things and give to those who need them. “My classmate has a lot of children, I gave her a jacket,” Rimma said without feeling guilty.
– Do not look a gift horse in the mouth – is this your favorite saying? – asked a male voice.
“I saw the tails of two horses today,” Rimma remarked, looking around the room where she could not find any talking and watching objects.
– Do not look, Rimma, you will not find me. Horse tails are exactly what you deserve.
Rimma heard a click, as if she had turned off the talking device. She sat on a marble bench, which was several hundred years old, judging by its smooth forms, but soon got up in search of ordinary doors. She recalled the cylindrical chamber into which she had fallen from birch, and decided that the walls in the room should move.
She sat down again on the marble bench and carefully examined the walls, but found nothing on them. She felt sad in a room without windows and doors, but she remembered that she was being watched, without this she would not have heard the voice of the master of the trap. Such a state for her was more than painful.
In order to distract herself, she began to do the exercises one by one, not thinking about where she was and what happened to her. After
