running in their cell. The straw was completely messed up and there was no water in the manger. These little creatures had nothing to do except running around the cage and draw the attention of their host. Meanwhile, the mature man was trying to find where he had left his glasses. Without them, he couldn’t help the chinchillas, prepare food for himself and finish his morning ritual with the newspaper. The longer he was looking for his thing, just by throwing out clothes, magazines and papers, the dirtier and more uncomfortable his apartment become.
Then he suddenly realized that something wrong happened to him. Usually, the man was very calm and concentrated. He went to the mirror, looked at himself and said: “You should take yourself back and then everything will be alright.” He was looking for 5 more minutes and found he is very old. It happened unnoticed and quickly during the last year, which was full of a roller coaster: divorce, hard seagoing process for the separation of property, work instability. His forehead was completely wrinkled, and his eyes had lost their luster and became sad. “Hey, man, stop it.” - the man said himself one more time - “You still have the chance to be happy and productive, and achieve everything you want.” This easy affirmation usually had the strong effect on the man’s mind, but it was this rare day when everything was a disaster. The man stops looking at himself and slowly moved to his bed with a cup of tea. He made big sips and sooner just felt asleep. His dream was unusually strong and calm, but it wasn’t surprising, sharp mood swings play against a man a cruel joke.
However, these things sometimes make a breather for restoring strength and moral energy. A phone call came with a loud, even deafening sound in the house. The man opened his eyes, and his first thought was that someone was ringing the door, but within a few moments later he realized that this is his cell phone. “Hello, Alexey, our good friend Matthew gave us your number... Tell me, do you live in New York? Yeah, well... Do you do the violin lessons at home? When can we come? Thank you!” As soon as the woman at the other end hung up, the man already knew what had happened. This will be his first student for the whole previous year. There was no limit to the joy, but looking around, he realized that his apartment is the mess. Picking up his things, Alex started cleaning. Glasses were found, chinchillas were fed, and the violin was honorably lying on the coffee table.
The man took out the bowler, put on a black suit and a white shirt without cuffs, and froze in anticipation of the first lesson.
