Somehow it happened that I was unnoticed 52 years. During this time, we had to thoroughly shave in different corners of our vast, but it turned out as it turned out ... and I returned to my native city.
I found my classmate, with whom I was at school nine years together, were outraged in class, and after that. From time to time we began to go out to different events: on Saturday we go to the flea market to look for details for the old Ural, on Sunday we'll go fishing ... Everything is like in childhood, only now we are both bearded uncles who still want to do all kinds of nonsense.
In the evening on Friday, they were going to visit another school buddy and at the same time to consolidate the meeting with 3 liters of beer and dried sheep. We stand at the bus stop, but the trolleybus is not there. In a transparent package from the supermarket, it was easy to recognize fish and bottles.
Behind the familiar voice: "Shmelyov, Filonov !!! Again drinking beer for the garages gathered ?!"
It turned out that this is our class teacher Natalia Vladislavovna.
"Where's Levik?"
- We just got together. Come with us?
- What? And, of course ...
We sat in the evening - remembered school years. They laughed, sank, and shed tears. The underground meeting of the graduates was a success. We learned that the names Shmelev, Filonov and Levik almost for 10 years became a household name. It's nice to leave some trace after yourself.
All the same great when with the teacher you can talk heart to heart and after that no one will call the parents on the carpet. And it's funny that at school three of us first of all got on nuts just from our Natalia Vladislavovna. Always got it, of course.
Before saying goodbye, the three of us said: "But I knew that you would grow good people."
Pleased to try, Natalia Vladislavovna! Thank you not only to you, but to all teachers who help to make good people out of blunders. And even if you do not get paid a lot for it, and you have to spend your nerves, remember that you made this world a little better.
