Kolya,
Tak ty nadeeshsya na SSHA vyehat? Teper est gde ostanovistya, i bilety by
tebe otsyuda zakazali, tak, vrode by, deshevle.
U nas zhe beda -- Stepan poseyal gde-to v skverike vse svoi avuary, a bylo
u nego azh 32 dollara! U tebya vot v vozraste 7 let bylo 32 dollara
valyutoi?! kak-to on umudrilsya nasobirat po tsentu, potom hodil v bank,
menyal na bumazhki. Trogaet, chto ved mame hotel ser'gi s serebryanymi
klarnetikami kupit'!!! Vse sidel v ugolochke i denezhki schital. A potom
zapihal v zadnii karman shtanishek i poehal na velosipede katatsya k svoemu
priyatelyu Devidu Parsonsu (oni irlandtsy, katoliki, tam mamasha tolko chto
pyatogo rebenka rodila, im vse ravno, skolko detei nositsya vokrug.) Vot
gde-to po doroge Stepan svoi portmonne i poseyal. Udruchen tak, chto my i
piknut boimsya. A zato na starost u menya vsya nadezhda na nego, denezhnogo
meshka. Stepan rodstvennyi, ne ostavit. A vot nash samyi blondistyi v mire
Martiros tiho sidit v uglu i chitaet knizhki -- nakonets-to kolichestvo
perevalilo v kachestvo, nachal chitat sam. I ego tozhe pridetsya Stepanu
soderzhat.
Obnimayu!
