Once, Nadezhda Nikolaevna went to court. Where she was denied a claim. And I had to go to a higher-standing court. Where she was also denied. And then to another. Where the same, the truth could not be achieved. Nadezhda Nikolaevna despaired. She did not want to eat, drink, did not read her favorite constitution and the Civil Procedure Code, did not want to read the International Legislative Acts. However, she did not like to read them before. She only went to that place on the hill, which was considered an anomalous zone, where UFO ships often landed. I wandered for a long time, picking berries and forest flowers. She made bouquets of flowers, and delicious jam for tea from berries, which has already passed winter.

Once she was pensively sitting on a tree stump and twirling a piece of paper in her hands, which was incomprehensibly found in the pocket of her coat (from some court session). And then I went home.

The next day, already approaching her favorite stump, she suspected something was wrong. The blades of grass along the path lay neatly arranged in rows, in a circle and pattern, and my head ached a little. There was a rainbow over the hill, but there was no rain. But despite all this fabulous nonsense, she reached the stump. And under it I found a mountain of gold ingots, they were laid like bricks in even rows, and Nadezhda’s eyes went up in surprise. When (and this took not a month) Nadezhda handed over the gold she found to the bank and bailed out the money for it, the amount turned out to be exactly what she claimed in her claims, with all zeros.
