Dima studied win alone. From this he Steven cold selfish for Chilean children but the children did their best to push him on occasion, humiliate, ridicule him, exciting and leading him to a protective reaction. And he ceased to notice others, scorning, and at times mocked them.
My cousin Mary, Teresa, lived for a time in the house of Mary. But when she gave in marriage, she began to live separately, but have been raided in the old house, apparently believing it to her. She had her neighborhood friends, peers and they often visited each other. In the evening, playing cards, and sometimes drink, but not much. Playing cards told different stories and shared experience uncomplicated, helped each other advice.
Teresa was sHort with a massive jaw, close- set little yellow near the nose, the eyes. Above them were almost faded eyebrows and upper lip protruded sharp nose. He was badly bullied up, giving the face with a massive ape jaw stupid expression. Theresa was incredible cunning, vindictive temper and never forgive offenses. Dima she just did not like, she hated him with all your heart, all by nature, just like all the men and boys in the world.
One hot summer morning Dima woke up early. Mother had already gone to his aunt Elsa. Dear went on grazing herd of cows from a local farm. Cows mooing. The elder brother of Veronica Miguel pass a herd of cows colony, it was his turn. And yet collected from house to house cows that are kept in their yards working colony, adding to the farmer’s herd.
Dima ran into the yard and see who now drives a herd? This is Miguel! Eccentric older brother of Veronica, a joker and make- believe. Dima, a twig, hurried passing by lagged behind the herd cow Star. And the cow and quickly ran outside the fence. A herd of cows mooing it met friendly. Dima conducted animal eyes.
– Come quickly to me! – Miguel shouted at him! – And then the cows wander off without you!
It was thin and long and muscular boy with long arms. He was holding a whip with rawhide and deftly slapped them in the air. After seeing Miguel envious eyes, Dima returned to the yard and went into the house. We had to bring myself up, brush my teeth wash. After water treatment, he went to the kitchen and breakfast, pre- heated in a microwave oven is hot. Then he ran out into the yard. Above it, on the house and garden, green garden blue, blue sky. The wooden hallway near the ceiling, a swallow’s nest.
Swallows darting about in the sky, one by one, shouting fly into the corridor and from there distributed peeps chicks. The boy goes to the strawberries. Red berries flavorful and delicious. Aunt Elsa silently thanked for the fact that she insisted that my mother broke the beds, and planted some kind of greens and strawberries. He rips juicy fruit, and sweet melting in the mouth, they fill the aroma of breath, refreshing juicy flesh and a sweetness in this hot morning. The sun rises higher and higher, bakes in the head. With a basket of potatoes passed by Teresa. Dima saw and immediately appealed to him:
– I’d take yes for lumped compote! – Cocky she grumbled! – I’m a little currants, cherries and collected. That will compote.
Listen, Teresa, what do you need a whole basket of potatoes and more!
She pulled out of the basket, a cloth that was lying on the potatoes. And shook the rag in the air, which turned red berries:
– None of your business! – Muttered in response to the boy moved farther down the road.
Dima has not listened to, he hurried into the shadow of a spreading apple trees. Found a pair of juicy apples, wiped them on his pants and began to eat with gusto.
The second half of the day. The afternoon heat. The sun, as disgruntled burning voraciously. «You have to go to the river,» – thought Dime…
Chapter 5
There was a wedding. Teresa’s cousin, Mary, married. They called all the relatives and neighbors. At the wedding was twelve and Dima. Musicians, consisting of an accordionist, a drummer and a flute player, playing endless Chilean polka. The musicians were all dressed up in a huge Mexican hats and colorful, poncho thrown over their shoulders. Tables were set on the courtyard and relatives ran into the house and out of the house, over the strong Chilean moonshine, over the food. At the site, guests had fun, danced and rocked in a wide linen blanket girl. Four men held firm linen blankets on the ends. Others, drunken, girls caught and thrown into the painting. It was a shriek and din. Bayan under rampant whistle flute and drum rattling deduced polka, the key word fun beater. On the threshold that led into the hallway at home, appeared and disappeared boyfriend tied with colorful ribbons with the regular portion of booze.
Dima with Miguel ate delicious pasties with poppy seeds and honey and happy. Then he started a game of catch- up, and when Dima ran for Miguel, his eye fell on the saddle, standing there in a white jumpsuit, fully shrouded, alien and lured him to his gestures. Boy surprise stopped dead. Miguel teasing friend said:
– What, you cannot catch up? Ha- ha- ha!
– Miguel, look, he is «ghost» out there!
He looked in the direction of a stopped Dima:
– Yes, there’s nothing there.
The stranger was still standing on the thresholds, implying Dime that await him.
«Come to us. We arrived as promised, thank you!» – Mentally flowed information. «Can you meet us mentally.»
Dima dumbfounded said in his mind:
«I will not go alone!» – The fear crept into his shirt, was afraid to go alone.
«We have only to thank you!» – Replied the stranger, then paused and said:
«Wait a minute, I’m now»! – Went to the house.
Dima was amazed. No stranger did not see but him. Soon the stranger reappeared:
«No, just you. Fear not, we’ll not do anything wrong. Price to pay, so we have come to thank you.»
«How can I go?»
«Come and play with Miguel in the game of» Freeze!»
– Miguel! – Said Dima. – Let’s play «Freeze».
– Come on. Only you yell «Freeze!»
Dima looked at the nut, there was a stranger in anticipation:
– Freeze! – Garinov boy shouted.
In an instant, everything stopped and stood still. There was a ringing silence. The leaves on the trees have stopped making noise, the wind ceased. The guests were in their seats. A girl taking off on a poncho, froze in the air and hung in the air over the web. Dima went. His attention was attracted by a boyfriend frozen in the doorway at the threshold of the porch. Followed by a warning:
«Caution, not to touch the tape, she’s sharp as a razor, you can cut yourself.»
Dima carefully, trying not to hurt frozen other out, pushed his way between the doorway:
«Can I touch it by the hand?»
«You can only slowly.» – Answered the stranger.
Dima touched the stiff body and walked into the room. The room was empty, except for one more stranger taller:
«It’s the commander! – Said the boy spent a stranger. – It permits or denies.»
Followed by the command to start and do not waste time. Dima scanned the room. Stood by the window shop, brightly painted in red, shining in the rays of a bright light bulb, color. The table also painted as the other bench, leaning against him.
«Sit down at the table! – Heard it’s an order! – Not here, just move over to the right.»
The boy moved:
«Now put your hands on the table as a school desk.»
Dima put his hands like in the classroom, on the desk.
«You want to see a movie?»! – Heard the new proposal aliens.
«I want!» – Answered.
«Now the light will slowly fade and we will show you a movie. Look.»
The stranger in white, the one that was lower growth, pressed the switch. The light bulb in the room slowly began to fade. At the site of sinking into the darkness of subjects appeared dark blue color chair in which suddenly found itself Dima. Elbows boy found ourselves on a narrow and short table. Between this table and the wall was built with a sloping trough slope to the drain opening. «It seems to drain.»? Conjecture flashed, soapy.
Wall of the room with the windows gone, in its place arose a white screen in a movie theater. Dima heard words:
«You can take off the helmet, let’s see who we are?»
«Can you still in quarantine for another two weeks. Only warn him not to scare.»
«Dima, we are just like you, only our sun fades. We have reached a level of development that surpasses your one hundred million years.»
Boy with courage and curiosity began to see how the strings untied commander behind a guide, flashed his helmet, and silver skin- tight body suit came before him. Then, the helmet 90° rotation was carefully removed commander. The golden strands of wavy hair spilled over her shoulders. Woman with beautiful almond- shaped eyes, pale, stared at the boy’s eyes.
«You saved my life. Commander I talked to repay you.»
«Our world is not the same as yours. We have no long- pathogenic microbes, but there is no immunity. And should one microbe get to us, how to start an epidemic. Therefore, we take your immune system and are fueling your body.»
«We have little time!» – Reminded commander.
«But the ship still on the shady side of the earth.» – Objected woman, but complied.
«We have come to fulfill your three wishes. Do you have a will? Tell them?»
Dima thought, began to speak:
«I would like to come up with a cure for death, and to make all men immOrtl.»
On the woman smiled and said:
«You people are immortal. Question is that you do not even realize.»
«What is the second wish?» – Heard the boy question male stranger! – Maybe you’d like a lot of money? We’ll give them to you, but not soon, when you grow up and get married. "– Asked the commander of a leading question and answered it.
The boy thought, said, as he taught in a boarding school as a true scout:
«Do not have a hundred rubles, and have a hundred friends!» – What has puzzled strangers, and received the answer:
«Friends you will not, because you get to see all of our knowledge through, guess the thoughts and sHortcomings of others, believe that people do not like.»
«Man to Man – a wolf!» – Authoritatively stated commander. The woman added:
«We are watching you for many historical periods, and it is. There is no person on earth that would have thought as much harm to another. There are only allies. And you shall know the language of birds and beasts, birds and animals is also do not always like it, so we will help you. not live without money, we will help you on your need. big money you will not, but of hunger you will not die.»
Dima remembered all my friends, classmates at boarding school in Santiago, boys, friends, and no one, even a hint, not like a wolf. No, he is fundamentally disagree with this inference aliens. Reflections Dima woman interrupted:
«What is your third wish?» – She asked.
The boy replied:
«I would like to have a drink delicious water, which I drank with faceted glass, when my mother took me to an exhibition of advanced computer technology, which was held in Santiago, Chile.»
The aliens were again taken aback, they do not know what is called a faceted glass. The woman began to explain to the commander that is the capacity to drink only a glass, crystal- like shape.
And, referring to Dima, said:
«We will change your genetic code and show you your future!» – Hastened to explain:
«The genetic code must be changed to ensure that you have acquired relevant skills and was able to live a new life.»
She took a beaker of clear blue material with rounded edges and brought the boy to a half- filled transparent as crystal, viscous liquid.
«It is necessary to drink. Hold your nose with your left hand, try not to breathe. Necessary to make three drinks. If you make three drinks, talk about what birds and animals is completely understandable. Only three sips.»
The woman waited until he held his nose with his left hand, held out the beaker. Dima, stealthily, almost relaxed index finger pinching the nose and gently sniffed one nostril. Liquid sharp odor hit in the nose. Alien, seeing this, quickly ousted the container.
«Do not inhale and then not be able to make a single gulp! And have three.» – She said. «Take a breath and a good pinch your nose.»
Dima this time it has done wrong. Scored a deep breath and holding his nose in good faith, and brought the liquid to the mouth with the thought that such a trifle as three sips, cost nothing, and made the first. Liquid hard, biting the throat and pushed his way shrapnel went to the stomach, the second, third and even more breath of Dima could not physically do. He literally willed took another sip of the floor. Garlic Twisting nausea coming right up to the throat, scoring the breath as a pin. And, not thinking, what was provided in front of a trough, began to vomit lumps recently meat pie mixed with bile. Aliens commented:
«One sip and a half, too bad, but three would be better.» – Says the man. To which the woman said:
«It is enough, and one, with its sensitivity.»
A boy with every urge all facilitated and facilitated, and when it seemed that everything had passed, and that the fresh coolness of the nausea goes away, the woman said:
«Turned his head to the right, to the left.»
He complied with the request, and the new wave of nausea exploded in it, but, barf, it was nothing.
«We need to take another sample of the seventh, the last.» – With these words began to twirl alien chair in which he sat Dima on its axis, causing the boy nausea. And it succeeded. Finally, the seventh and the last sample was taken.
Selected samples from the trough, a long glass tube with a rubber bulb on the end, she placed each one in a separate tube. The tubes were carefully installed in the cradle. Then, set in a wall safe with flashing colored lights buttons. When this was done, the woman quickly said something to the commander. He went into the oval door and returned with a faceted glass of vodka in half the capacity of the glass. It showed that goblet Dima and he nodded his head, exhausted procedure weakened, firmly resolved not to drink anything else. But sparkling clear water in Charcot, mildly pleasant smelling moisture, forced to drink it to the dregs. And lo and behold, it was exactly the one he saw then with his mother, at the show, just harder to taste.
«Drink as you can.» – Said a woman, but the boy mastered only these three goblets and no longer could.
«Is it possible tomorrow?» – He asked.
«No, but if you want to contact us, we will give you the code. Thee it just needs to remember and repeat, we will come to your» SOS «always.»
The woman spoke with a very gentle boy. The commander was strict. He stopped her and overpowered, but she went on:
«We promised to show you your destiny. Would you like to look at who you should marry?»
«I want to. Clementine, right?»
The woman did not answer, flitting among the episodes of the future face appeared on the screen adult girl with two pigtails and a smile, a friendly and gentle.
