Тихие дни в Перемешках - Эрленд Лу

Давайте притворимся, что мой ум — такси, и вдруг... в нем едете вы.

Dear Angela & Helmut Bader.

We are a family with three kids (5, 8 and 14 years) who are planning a holiday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and we saw your holiday house on the internet. We plan to arrive on the 30th of June and would like to stay until the First of August. Is the house available in this period (or close to it) and what is the price? We are looking forward to your answer.

Yours sincerely

Тебе обязательно надо курить в доме?

Да.

Но на улице хорошая погода.

Дорогая моя, ты, видимо, как-то упустила из виду, что мы опять проводим отпуск в твоей лю­бимой Германии, которую я совершенно не люблю, поэтому когда благодаря твоему упорству, достой­ному много лучшего применения, мы в очередной раз оказались в колыбели нацизма, то сразу дого­ворились, что в отместку я получаю право курить где захочу.
