The Short Story about the literary battle
Organizers of rap concerts were at loss. What is the matter? All support rap and rap artists, but the proceeds from concerts are not enough.
Decided to invite for the literary battle of Nikolai Nekrasov, Nikolai Gogol and Alexander Bezymensky.
The audience hall was packed to capacity.
Began Nekrasov.
"There is a main entrance. On gala days,
Obsessed with a servile illness,
The whole city with some fright
Approaches treasured doors ..."
"From him and to him since the morning
All couriers with papers jump.
Returning, another hums "nice - nice',
And other petitioners cry."
"You do not fear the thunder of heaven,
And the earth's thunder you hold in your hand.
And bear these people obscure
The initial woe in the hearts.
That to you this grief scandalous,
What to you these poor people?
Life - Eternal holiday, quickly running,
Does not allow to regain consciousness to you".
Gogol continued.
"Sometimes, [Manilov] looking from a porch on the yard and on a pond, he spoke about how it would be good if suddenly from the house to carry out an underground course or through a pond to build the stone bridge on which would be on both parties of a little shops and that in them merchants sat and sold various small goods necessary for peasants".
Further Alexander Bezymensky acted.
"- Your husband, the beautiful marchioness, who ravaged the himself and you,
He could not bear such a surprise, and shot himself at the same hour...
And for the rest, the great marchioness, everything is good, everything is good!".
'Tout va très bien, Madame la Marquise,
Tout va très bien, tout va très bien,
Pourtant, il faut, il faut que l'on vous dise,
On déplore un tout petit rien:
Un incident, une bêtise,
La mort de votre jument grise,
Mais, à part ça, Madame la Marquise,
Tout va très bien, tout va très bien!'
Organizers of a performance became agitated. The public is, seemingly, happy. But where is a battle?
The public chanted meanwhile: "Gogol! Gogol".
Again Gogol stepped on the stage.
"Russia where you rush? give the answer. Does not give the answer."
Organizers of a concert calmed down.
The action came to the end on a good note.
Writers went to restaurant, organizers went to foreign resorts, and the public walked on streets, discussing what was seen.
