The store was not doing well. The trade didn 't give money. Senya sometimes put money in the cash register - for a show. But a show is a show.
Senya decided to intensify the process of establishing a trade association and appointed a "Chief of Association Affairs" from among friends.
It was an interesting dude - anyway, he wore glasses, and so was considered very smart.
Dude had contacts. In one apartment there was no constant electric light, everyone starved, lived without clothes and medicines, ran away off...
In another apartment, there were constantly noisy scandals, and now there was simply a continuous stabbing.
In the third apartment lived the most mysterious people. They from half the apartment made a scientific laboratory and constantly went in white robes - as scientific workers. But recently they discovered a shortage of gasoline for the car, and they attacked each other with a lot of noise.
The main associative dude established close relations with all three apartments and was very proud - our associative affairs are in the excellent condition!
Senya took into account such an achievement and decided to organize a grandiose event. He will invite everyone-everyone, including, and neighbors with a good reputation.
The main associative dude flashed by intellect. It turns out that once, in ancient times, a hut was organized, the task of which included something similar to associative affairs. What if we mark the anniversary of this hut? We remember, we know and we respect history! Not some crooks and thimblers!
Senya treated the idea sympathetically. Why not to celebrate? Besides, the dude in glasses speaks beautifully. Not that the kids, which always are whining. Senya tired, after all ...
How to celebrate??
The Chief Associative Dude offered to invite to a huge event a strange neighbor who has no water or electricity in the apartment and with whom no one wants to deal.
Guests with a good reputation will come. At this point, this strange neighbor will appear and will start saying something with great fervor! Is this a bad move in the development of associative relations?
Senya had an exit from the apartment to the common room, a kind of common entrance hall. Into this common entrance hall is opening, also, the another door - the door of a huge neighborhood apartment. Not only the apartment was huge, but also its population - this population nobody could count, and no one knew the exact number of tenants.
The main idea of the chief dude on associative affairs was that with this huge apartment it is necessary to be friends as dense as possible. And that they visit the apartment, where the kids and Senya lived, as often as possible and as more numerous, as mass as possible.
And after coronavirus started in this big apartment, the Chief Associative Dude couldn 't forget about this huge apartment for a minute at all.
Senya is not opposed - why not be friends? Even if a coronavirus?
They also discussed about this theme.
They decided to invite a strange dude because of interest - what will happen? And arrange a public hugs, embraces with the residents of a huge neighborhood apartment.
The Chief Associative Dude wore glasses for a reason. When the conversation ended, Senya realized that he had not in vain taken the course of establishing a trade association and had not in vain appointed the chief for associative affairs. A much of a very useful and necessary is being done. Cleverly speaks! Convincingly! It is pleasant to listen.
It 's a pity that it's impossible to talk to this smart man in glasses day and night, and it's necessary to listen to the whining of kids...
The main dude took money from Senya - the means which remained - and headed to continue negotiations. They cannot be postponed!
And Senya began to think about where from to take the means... Associative affairs require a lot of money!
