TEXT
WHO BREAKS PAYS
Lucy was very upset. She was sitting and looking at what five minutes ago was a beautiful vase - at three pieces of glass. She didn't believe her eyes. It was awful. Her boy-friend Dan and her colleagues Alex and Max were looking at her. They didn't know what to do.
«Stop the train!» said Lucy finally. «I am going out!»
«Why are you going to leave?» asked Dan.
«I have no present,» said Lucy. «People don't go to birthday parties without presents.* «It's clear,» said Max. «And I know what to do. Brother Alex, do you have any money?» «I do,» said Alex.
«I also have some money,» said Max. «How much does this vase cost?»
Lucy told him the price, and Max continued: «Will you give me the address of the shop, and wait for me at the next station. Forget it. Go for a walk and relax. I am going to take a taxi and to return soon».
At the next station three sad young men and one sad pretty girl went out of the train and stopped at the platform. It was a warm spring day. The weather was wonderful. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. Some people hurried to their country houses. Dan looked at his watch. It was ten past five.
It was a beautiful place - but they didn't see any taxis.
«OK. I am going by train,» said Max. He gave Alex his heavy bag and left for Moscow.
Lucy, Dan and Alex with a heavy bag in his hand went for a walk in the forest. Spring birds were singing on the trees, spring grass was fresh, and they were walking and speaking about Dan's new job, and about their plans for the next week-end. Suddenly they heard a funny music. It was Alex's mobile telephone.
«HaIIo,» said Alex, «Yes, I am listening to you. - Yes, of course, we are on the way to you. - Yes, of course, we have the address - Yes, of course, we have a big bag with what you asked. - Yes, of course, at six o'clock. And of course, best wishes to Kate. See you soon. Bye!»
«Who is Kate?» asked Lucy when Alex finished.
«She is my friend's bride,» said Alex. «He is going to marry her in August. Today it is her birthday.»
«But she is my cousin,» said Lucy and they started to laugh.
Soon they decided to return to the station, but they lost their way.
«Do you remember the name of the railway station where we went out?» - asked Dan.
«No,» said Lucy.
