- Good a role-pug, - has told Jurkovsky, with concentration reeling up on a plug appetizing fish tushku. - very much I love a
role-pug...
Ioganych has shaken a head and, having addressed to Ermakovu, skazal: - By the way, about a role-pug I had the most
curious history. More truly, not about a role-pug, and... Present Gobi, desert, some tents - a geological expedition. On three
hundred kilometres of any habitation, game, a charm. Also was at us, young probationers, a small bottle to cognac and a
treasured jar a role-pug. We waited for any solemn event that, means... - Dauge has expressively clicked fingers. - Well-with,
have waited. Here is how now, birthday of one... One companion. We have gathered at our tent, all probationers, six
persons. Have uncorked cognac, cut bread, have washed hands. Have put all it on a case for a theodolite, and as now I
remember, I have begun to open under greedy looks of children desired a role-pug. Understand, all mutton, a ham...
Ostrenkogo it would be desirable - forces are not present! And here, hardly I have opened...
Dauge has made a pause. Bulls has impatiently coughed and skazal: - Has opened - and what? - Understand, I at all do not
remember, how it happens. I have casually looked over goals of companions - all of them have, of course, bent to bank -
and I see: on a slope of the next barkhan creeps, coiling, preogromnyj a grey worm... The Present boa, a boa-konstriktor...
All in such rings...
- You say lies! - has with conviction told Jurkovsky.
- Wait a moment, Vladimir Sergeevich! - has angrily stopped its Bulls. - allow to tell.
- I do not say lies, Volodja. It was olgoj-horhoj.
- Olgoj... Who? - Has asked Bulls.
- Olgoj-horhoj, - has repeated Dauge. - it seems, a unique overland animal on the Earth, armed with an electricity.
The Jurkovsky has shifted eyebrows, recollecting.
- Olgoj-horhoj... It seems, for the first time it is described in one of tobijskih Ivan Efremova's stories half a century ago. So? -
So, - Dauge has agreed. - it was then found out that for these half a century we were not that the third, not that the fourth
expedition which saw it.
