The second visitor, the huge man in a checkered shirt, it is slow and with taste ate a ragout and through two numbers of little
tables talked to the barman. The conversation was conducted in Russian. When Jura has entered, the barman spoke: - I do
not concern photon rockets and nuclear reactors. I wish to speak about cafe and bars. In it I understand something. Take
here, in Mirza-Charle, your Soviet cafes and our western cafes. I know a turn of each institution in this city. Who goes to your
Soviet cafes? And, the main thing, what for? Women go To your Soviet cafes to eat ice-cream and to dance in the evenings
with teetotal pilots...
Here the barman has seen Juru and has stopped.
Here the boy, - has told it. Is the Russian boy. It has come in "Mikki the Mouse" in the afternoon. It means the visitor. He
wishes to eat.
The man in a checkered shirt with curiosity has had a look at Juru.
Hello, - Jura to the barman has told. - I really wish to eat.
How it at you becomes? The barman has boomingly laughed loudly.
At us it becomes in the same way, as well as at you, - he has told. - quickly, it is tasty, and it is polite. What would you wish to
eat, the boy? The person in a checkered shirt has told: - Make to it okroshka with ice and pork chop, Joyce. And you, a
companion, sit down by me. First, here for some reason a draught, and secondly so it will be more convenient to us to
conduct ideological struggle against old Joyce.
The barman has again laughed loudly and has disappeared under a rack. JUra, confusedly smiling, villages near to a
checkered shirt.
I conduct with "Mikki the Mouse" ideological struggle, - the person in a checkered shirt has explained. - here five years I try
to prove to it that in solar system there is still something, except pubs.
The barman has appeared because of a rack, bearing on a tray a deep cardboard plate with okroshka and bread.
To drink I to you at all I do not offer, - he has told and has dexterously put a tray on a table. - I have understood at once that
you - the Russian boy. At you at all any especial look. I can not tell, Ivan that it was not pleasant to me, but at the sight of
you for some reason vanishes thirst. Also it would be desirable to compete for any rank even to the detriment of an institution.
