Uncle Feodor's Beloved Girl

Fairy-tale novel

Chapter one
A KATIE-GIRL APPEARANCE

Summer came to Clabber village.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 13:51

1

End since Clabber village was often mentioned in the newspapers and over the TV it became a very modish resort.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 13:56

2

People parked their cars, put up tents and built fires on the Clubber riverside.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 13:59

1

Cat Sailor was nervous:
- We came here to live quite and alfresco.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:05

1

But the noise here is worse than in the town.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:06

1

The way things are going, we'll have to leave for town again.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:08

1

It is not so loud there in summer.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:09

1

And Blob didn't worry at all.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:11

1

He was scamperring over interesting places with his photographical rifle.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:13

1

He overran all the tents, all the summer houses, all the cottages and beaches and brought great amount of pictures.

Maraboo 27.01.11 в 14:16

1

He was especially good at taking pictures of nature, russian landscapes.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 22:56

1

Matroskin decided once:
- Why do his photos lie idle? We have to start printing greeting cards or calendars.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:00

1

And he started making those cards and calendars in a village school printing-office
and selling them in a local kiosk.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:02

1

There used to be a shoe-repair shop before.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:03

1

Then it burnt down.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:04

1

Then there was a soft drink stall.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:06

1

And burnt down too.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:06

1

Then, in the most tough times,
a local council was there.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:25

1

And it burnt down too, the tough one.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:25

1

Then a club for the young people was in the kiosk.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:28

1

Funny as it may seem, but it burnt down as well.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:28

1

And so Matroskin the cat rented this burning spot.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:29

1

The quality was not superb, but still people were glad to buy a postcard.

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:32

1

Mornings Matroskin was selling sour cream and milk together with postcards .

Ilanna 29.01.11 в 23:36

1

So he was quite a prospering village businessman.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 09:26

1

Sharik couldn't take pictures of people with his photographical rifle, beacuse they were scared of it.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 18:59

1

So he focused on nature.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 18:59

1

Still sometimes there were people on his photos.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:01

1

One of them was a shock for Uncle Fyodor.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:02

1

He was examining it for a long time.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:03

1

It was a photo of an unfamiliar girl.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:04

1

Looked like a Barbie! Though it was not a Barbie,
but an ordinary girl named Kate.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:05

1

It's just that she came from America.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:05

1

Her father, professor Semin's brother, was working there.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 19:06

1

Fyodor has looked at the photo for so many time that even Matroskin started to worry.

McNulty 22.01.11 в 15:51

1

- It looks like Uncle Fyodor fell in love.

mykstery 21.01.11 в 23:07

1

We can lose him.

mykstery 21.01.11 в 23:08

1

That's the last thing we want.

Ilanna 30.01.11 в 09:27

1

So what! If he was ill we could bring him to the hospital.

mykstery 21.01.11 в 23:09

1

Blob said:
- What's a big deal falling in love? It's not like he is bleeding from his head in a hospital.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 03:06

1

Nothing will happen to him.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 00:57

1

- You don't get it.
Matroskin disagreed.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 00:59

1

What if he goes out with this girl.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 01:02

1

He will take her for a walk, give her flowers, take her on a tractor ride. No time to remember us.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 01:04

1

- Fine, let them be, - said Blob.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 01:06

1

- Dating hasn't hurt anybody yet.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 01:07

1

- Really? - yelled Matroskin.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 01:08

1

- What if they both started to believe it's true love and got married in ten years!

mashutka 02.02.11 в 03:10

1

- What next? Children?

mashutka 02.02.11 в 03:11

1

- How much time would be for us?
Now, Blob got thinking. It was not some usual cheerful prospectives.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 03:15

1

So, he's given up.

mashutka 02.02.11 в 03:21
