Matrena Ledokolova, on the contrary, liked to read and dream about hot countries. She even got in touch with a pen friend in Kenia, a girl called Sally, with whom she exchanged letters for already 2 years. It happened that Matrena’s brother Spiridon and Sally’s cousin Shaku were playing rugby so rugby tournaments of their brothers were one of the main topics in the letters. For extra urgent news, like astonishing hairstyle or super tasty mushroom soup, the girls used Skype or Instagram. Both of them were fond of good reading and exchanged comments when either of them had a successful hunting for a hitting novel. Adventurous travelling was among their target scope as well, while adventures found the women more frequently then they desired. Their salaries allowed them only local travelling therefore Sally shared with Matrena her experiences of climbing on Gregory volcano, which she did for a dozen of times with every time a new adventure and Matrena shared her experiences of travels to nearby towns of Borodino, Mojaisk, Sergiev Posad, Tula, and Nijny Novgorod…

The most rememberable adventure for Sally was a monkey stealing her smartphone while she was climbing. The monkey jumped to a tree and started to click the buttons enjoying colors of the screen. Evidently the monkey called a few people from Sally’s contacts saying something in the monkey language and apparently a few of the people started to call back to find out what happened with Sally as they could not recognize her voice. Sally helplessly observed the shocking performance not knowing if to continue climbing or run down faster to buy a new smartphone and block the lost one immediately. Chasing the monkey was dangerous as the girl could fall down the mountain. Finally, Sally put up and descended the mountain seeking for a nearest kiosk selling phones.

The bitterest experience for Matrena occurred when she travelled to Cheboksary town, the homeland of Cheburashka. Besides Cheburashka, the town is famous for giving birth to a famous Red Army Commander Vassily Chapaev, a self-educated genius who developed the tactics used during decades after his death including the battle for Moscow in October-December’1941. Hotel where Matrena stayed had a Jacuzzi bathtub, which she decided to use after the long busy day. When she pushed the Jacuzzi button, brown water sprayed through the nozzles, Matrena jumped up occasionally hitting the ceiling that broke and a plastic plate dropped on her head. Matrena fell down back to the dirty water trying to get out of the bathtub occasionally kicking the side of the bathtub that broke away showing off all internal mechanism structure of the Jacuzzi device. Trembling with the shock, she wiped herself with a towel and went to bed falling asleep immediately.

The pen friends tried not to mention those incidents another time.
