The Visit Under The Sign Of Mars And Default

Astrologists predicted it.

The Earth will eclipse the Moon. There will be only a bright crescent moon. Red Mars will fatefully emerge in the dark sky. And those who fall under its light will have no money. At all. It is called default among high officials. Ordinary people calls it with a swear word. Our booming country has had many events. However, no one could predict things occurred on the eve of the eclipse.

A big banker locked a safe in silence, threw away the key, and left forever. The ruler was immediately informed, but he accepted it indifferently. Who does need a banker, even a big one, if there is no money?

There was no money and could not be. Tales of surplus of the local budget is not more than a folklore. The government has nicely calculated the budget for this year. Of course, according to all calculations, we should have faced blooming and compulsive progress. But all of a sudden parasites let down. In hour of need they were supposed to come down with money and fill possible holes. And notorious decrees were aimed to catch up those evasive people. Original payments were being invented with an eye to their fat purses. After all, the one-stop-shop approach was invented for them.

Why was their reaction? They neglected it and made the ruler beg for a loan. And they understood that it was barely possible. What new loans can we expect, if the official debt makes up 54% of GDP? Who will listen to stories about a financial standing, if a half of people working in the country receive the salary of $200?

There are a lot of problems and, in addition, the nature play us up: the heat is followed by rains. In addition, something is going to happen in the space. Naturally, such small worries are beyond officials' concern. They prefer little information leaking out from corresponding bodies. The information about unregistered sums wandering in glass banks and dark places. It was said that special agents event met the default in one of these dark places. We only wonder where it was routing! However, both parties decided to pretend strangers in order not to invite disaster to the country.

Meanwhile, in the city of Homel it was planned to open a child health centre, great event. Once the ruler ordered to build it while "passing by". It's clear that local officials could not come up with it without his order. And it needed a moment for the ruler to say "here it will be!"

The construction is accomplished. It was to be a great event with the participation of the mover. It took much time to choose a date. It was decided to hold the event on June 27 - Friday - a neutral day, and no one needs to hurry. One can wander across corridors of the hospital, look into wards, toilets and give priceless orders. The obedient television will later show it videos causing obsolete love of especially reliable electorate. He is the person wise and careful who built the hospital for Homel children. It's his generous and memorable gift, isn't it?

The rumor runs that once he got behind a wheel of Maybach presented by working people and rattled off. And there - in the middle of nowhere - he sang several songs of Gutseriyev, raised some money and the sum raised gave to the above mentioned child health center. It's easy to be open-handed when you can earn.

Everyone was assured that he would arrive. A possible route was defined. Even the maternity hospital was turned into a headquarters of the Investigative Committee for several days. Citizens living in the area of the most possible route were asked not refrain from opening windows and so on. Even airing was not allowed.

All of a sudden Maybach appeared near the hospital. It had no numbers. But traffic police officers were not confused; they kept saying something on their phones. Most likely, the absence of those numbers nearly caused reverence. There was some secret allowed only for chosen.

Everything was ready for the event. A big fountain was splashing being aware of the unique moment. Passers-by removed themselves from the street. Only those who must express delight stayed. Responsible figures were looking in the sky. Is he already on his way here? It's small worries. And that was the time for the space to join the game.

It was later told that astrologers or wizards came to the place. And they spoke out openly: are you idiots? Just look in the sky! Can't you understand what is going on? The great resistance of Mars and, in addition, at midnight the Earth will eclipse the moon!

Mars could have not been mentioned. But the moon is a different story. Especially in our conditions. There are good reasons why a writer warned the public that the Moon was usually made in Hamburg and it's of low quality.

It does not make any sense now to wonder whether it was true or not. On the eve of those unregistered space events in the city of Homel a high official got an order on the phone to stop.

The next day no explanations for such a zig followed. And it makes no use to speak about apologizes to citizens for all inconveniences. Moreover, by that time the ruler welcomed a dear guest - a Chinese businessman. It was a servile and business conversation. In this regard the ruler even broke the record set by Homel officials on Friday. But in this specific case everything is clear.

He was dying for yuans.
