ONE DROP OF FALLS.
ONE DROP OF FALLS.
ALEXEY CHERNICHENKO, ALEXEYS FEODORS.
Solo for a pipe without parents.
Parents have not appeared at home. To us have promised "a meeting with idle time
The Norwegian family ", but we only have found children -
chetyrnadtsatiletnego Haralda and twelve years JAnne. And at once
Very many with Norway it became clear.
Well, first, that visit of two foreign journalists, one
To a teeth obveshannogo phototechnics, and another, armed still
More seriously - a notebook and English language of the sample filfaka the Moscow State University
Quarter-century prescription, - not an occasion to break Sunday plans.
Secondly, English language of the seventh-grader of high school of a city
Sajudy (the population - five thousand the persons, the southwest of Norway)
- Just for our conversation.
Thirdly, that in the inquiry on Norway presented by embassy,
Even that has turned out to be true, that a wind amateur orchestra
Is practically at each school. And, it is visible, for a long time is, because
The absent daddy once played their school orchestra, and
Now - they.
And here, without any compulsion, the smiling boy pulls out on
The spring sun, on a clearing before the house of two sparkling boas
- Bass and baritone. And not laced up krossovkoj begins
To stamp the foot, and the little sister already blows a rhythm - krossovke in a step, and
It starts bass jazz solo... And my companion, I look,
Already podtantsovyvaet, itself, it is visible, not noticing, and immediately changes
Objectives as the killer of a holder, and delightfully mutters
Something absolutely untranslatable. And I to it, too in a step
Improvisations, I hiss-prompt: eyes, eyes!.
Speak, vyvorochennye fibers great Sachmo bewitched not
Less than its great pipe. But in two golubenkih puddles over
nadutymi freckled cheeks any natugi - only full
The boyish pleasure. In these happy eyes it was reflected
Silver light of a pipe, and then they were went on the dark blue sky,
Were lop-sided on a hillside with pines over the house, blissful
Have stared at the falls flying from a blue rock to the fjord,
And, at last, have approvingly buried in diligently blowing little sister.
We have then helped to carry tools in the house, and to us with pride
Have shown a ladder on the second floor, it is valid very beautiful,
Cat - same, and the rooms with windows on a fjord. All house, and
Ladder, and even of furniture the father has made much itself. It were
The carpenter, and then was necessary to change job - yes and remained
Serving in a bureau on employment.
Mum at them the nurse. Looks after for hard sick, on houses
Goes, often works at night. And more they have sheep and small
Tractor. By the way, they should feed sheep to the parental
Arrival. Sheep bleated absolutely in Russian, but were not our way
Pure and identical. Ten two and a half - one in one,
Recently postrizhennye. But on a question - what cleverest - children
Have stuck with fingers in same. "And the most important?" - in another.
The ram was in a separate compartment. Harald has picked up my tone and has nodded:
"The president...".
Children hurried them to feed, because waited for parents,
Glanced at a streamer of the road winding from the fjord by
Their farms still above in mountains, to the tops in snow. The daddy with mum
Have gone by the car there, to the lift, on a mountain-skiing line.
nakatajutsja - and children will release. Children still will be in time, the lift
Works to eight. It, the truth, on foot to run, because the rights
The driver's give from sixteen. And all together to go it is impossible -
Economy you will not throw...
At parting JAnne has taken out a treasured box. Has opened:
Cud, "mamby" and "snickers". Harald on a plateau has brought two
Chunk vjalenoj mutton and as it is possible more seriously has said:
"The ex-president...".
"You will not see better, - my companion grumbled, going down with a wardrobe trunk on
To streamer, is not children so them rastak, it is angels
Any!. ".
Have seen - on orchestra rehearsal. Them was twenty five pieces,
From nine till eighteen years. They rehearsed in the school
Sports hall, were who in trenikah, who in inconceivable jeans,
Flared any tsvetastymi wedges from a chintz, the little girl on
Platforms, above extracting oil from a Norwegian shelf,
Boys in krossovkah.
Least each of them was separately similar on
The musician. And all of them together - on an orchestra...
We huliganski exchanged winks with Haraldom, hardly visible because of
Bass, and the conductor-teacher understood nothing and worried. It
Has told, that in our honour they will begin with Russian national song
"Cossack patrol". We have exchanged glances.
And here these pigs have burst "the Poljushko-field...".
I well remember, how from silver solo pipes is was not
Harald, someone another - at me on a nape have run murashki.
Brisk such lynx - as Cossack patrol. And here it then not
Has noticed - has just now seen, when has opened in a notebook record
"Orchestra rehearsal". It appears, the hand at me shivered...
Other place.
Stavanger - capital of the Norwegian oil extracting. Its strip
The airport rests against coast of the North Sea where on a shelf stand
Chisel platforms.
Almost rests - between the end of a runway and
Surf there passes highway. Sand and at the left, and to the right of road, and
It comes to an end a concrete strip on the one hand, a surf strip - with
Another.
Here what for so it is detailed. Concrete VPP - and in steam only breaks
Metres from it from sand there is a rank of human goals,
Looking in the sea. Through pair metres - still a rank, sticking out from
Sand already on the shoulders, directed there. Following - on a breast,
Then on a belt... On other, coastal party of road this
Not clear, not so harmonous column passes a rank,
Dug on hips, - and, at last, surf edges reaches
Figures in full growth. And here same polnorostnymi, in
Natural human size ranks of figures leaves in the sea
Metres on hundred with the superfluous. The seagulls having a seat on heads of most distant
Sculptures - under them already eight-metre bases, - are visible with
Coast white points...
When one year ago the young English author has offered Stavanger
This sculptural at all group, is faster crowd, - disputes
The terrible have begun to boil. Against "iron people" acted all - from
Jealous artists to "green", defending netronutost
Landscape and non-interference to beauty of the nature. (Though here
Norway it is guilty - at it such netronutosti, esteem, four fifth
The countries.) last argument contra was: about distant-de figures
Surfers will break... The Englishman was unperturbable all
Discussion, has told only - in a year I will clean, if it is not pleasant.
Year has passed. A name of the sculptor in Stavanger do not remember, name
Tenderly: "krejzi an English". Sculptures - favourites walking on a beach
Even in nekupalnyj.
We to this sight were brought by two married couples
- Forty-year the husband with the wife, both serving in Norwegian Minkulte,
And their parents, the journalist and the architect. Expressed by turns.
"Look - they begin from a runway and repeat
Launch trajectory. It is a symbol of human spirit and courage, not
Knowing borders ".
"We the nation of Vikings, Amundsen, Nansena, Hejerdala, given birth
Saying: "to Float on the sea it is necessary, to live not too
It is necessary... ". Here they also leave in the sea...".
"Yes it is not simple in the sea - precisely on the West. This Englishman
Hints at mass emigration of Norwegians to America the beginnings of the century. I
Has recollected: the author has named a sculpture "Another Place"-"Another
Place ".
"Well, and in Russian it would be possible to translate:" Hunting to change
Places ".
Then we have left in small Sajudu, and it seemed to me - I
Has solved secret "iron people". The mysteriousness reason - them did
nenorvezhets. At the Norwegian all of them would be turned on 180 degrees.
Would go on waters through any of a storm to reach unique,
That earth and in it to leave. What, to hell, "other place"?!
That has met in Sajude, would be amusing, not be so
Touchingly. It was at all patriotism, it was any
sajudotsentrizm.
The local newspaper leaves in circulation of one and a half thousand copies.
I recollect from the inquiry, that in an average Norwegian family two children,
I divide five thousand urban population into four... "You that,
Each family on one and a half time writes out? "-" everyone writes out, and
All establishments, and pivbar, both hotel, and a camping, where do you live... We
The who still will support us? ".
Then we there and have seen - in section like as
Sights, but before it was one more curious
Conversation. Colleagues have offered us the pages - something with
Sajudoj to share. We were inspired - just were in
To business trip in Russian North, there Norwegian spetsy help
To ours culture monuments to restore, unique
Cooperation, the Council of Europe supports also UNESCO... Well,
They have told, very well, only is far. From what, were surprised
We. From our subjects, colleagues have thoughtfully told. And know that -
Write ite you better about Sajudu! As it to you, that you about it
Think, and in general...
What here to think? The rights to see, Sajuda. About world problems to it
CNN will tell, and about it - only the newspaper "Rifilka"...
And to think about it is that. Has begun Sajuda (and then and it
The newspaper) from a small note. More precisely, from the advertisement.
Yellow this newspaper of 1910 hangs now in a city museum.
The note was called "Falls". "Some falls are on sale
The general prospective capacity 6 - 7 thousand horsepowers.
To address to the address... "Many Addressed, and sellers
Long-long chose. Now it would be called competition or even
The tender and then simply in a rural way slow-wittedly bargained nearby
Seven tens farmers - all, whose sites bordered on the remembered
Falls, - with different then sharks of imperialism. Has won
Kanadsko-American company "Union-karbajd", having offered
To farmers the most favourable conditions. Some contracts hang here
In a museum, - the farmer received money for the new house with the earth or
Apartment with conveniences in the future factory settlement plus - forever
- Free electricity. Eighty years after many in Sajude
Descendants of those farmers - the electricity is free, the contract in force.
In the early eighties "Union-karbajd" has sold power station and
Manganous mountain-concentrating factory to the Norwegian state,
This year it has resold their French company carrying ore
From the African mines, - neither it, nor two world wars not
Are "force-majeur" breaking action navechnyh of contracts.
Factory settlement "JU-K" have constructed in the twentieth years and
To look came even from Oslo: anywhere in Norway was not then
vaterklozetov and baths with a waterpipe in apartments.
In these cottages on two or four families live and now,
Quarter and is called: "the American village". But one house
Have specially redeemed at tenants, and in him trade union of factory,
Municipality Sajudy and federal management of protection of monuments
In common contain a museum of history of factory and a museum of an old life.
Two apartments, one - with all stuffing of the twentieth, another -
The sixtieth years. For schoolboys Sajudy visiting of this museum
Enters into the program. Exhibits not simply it is authorised -
It is recommended to touch. The children dig out something of a wall case
Metal also rises to the teacher: what? Heart misses a bit: the such
Was at the grandmother in a closet, was called "pad". And the teacher explains:
The house adaptation for footwear repair, staninka such, on it
It was possible to line a sole, a heel-tap. Earlier the footwear was expensive and
It did not throw out, and repaired, and... Here such, children,
Was resursosberegajushchaja a life.
They touch, touch - not abstract history, and to
Histories of the grandmothers-great-grandmothers - and, you look, any more harm
And not dotage - life experience and wisdom will seem
Old man thrift, even avarice. Education, education
Are necessary, that it is better to understand other person. If the little girl
Will nurse with a doll of mum of the sample of the sixtieth years, will shake
Carriage in which mum carried, - unless it is not better mum learns
Also will understand?
"Learn itself" - this moral imperative Norway
Has made a state policy. Not last article of incomes of the country -
Tourism, and the overwhelming majority of the tourists travelling on
Norway, - Norwegians.
Thirty years later.
Norway name the European Cinderella. Was, recently absolutely,
From the poorest, and suddenly, historically - in a flash, the second
Place in the world on a total national product on soul
The population, the second country in Europe under the average salary. The reason -
gazoneftedobycha on a shelf of the North Sea since the seventieth years.
Even the most developed countries of the world envy their problems: with
The beginnings of the ninetieth years threat of "an economy overheat" - constant
Excess of incomes of the budget over expenses. Well cannot spend -
And all...
Have calculated, that oil stocks - for 30 years, gas - on 100. And
Have thought up. A five-years period have founded the State oil fund back
- Began to postpone to the future generations for a postoil epoch.
Means (ten billions dollars) national bank from
Name of the Ministry of Finance take places abroad in the state valuable
Papers of the countries with good financial reputation.
Money - as at the fool of makhorka. And any foppery, absolutely
Reasonable, very intelligent self-restriction. At all
Regret them on education (completely free) and on
Public health services. It is a lot of and expensively travel, but basically
Across Norway (that them in vain from the country to take away). Do not hesitate to go
By old cars and simply to put on. And very much care of that,
That will be in thirty and hundred years.
Though Newton's no binomial in that is present. Would ask us with
The friend - and we would respond. At the same school "Cossack
Patrol "and a fragment from"Lieutenant Kizhe"S.Prokofeva (not at once and
You will think, what is it "lieutenant") to us children Haralda and JAnne will play.
Oslo - Moscow.
