Once upon a time there lived a poor grandfather. One day he got ready and went to the village government. I met a teacher there with a cigar in his mouth. Grandfather tells him:
- Smoke! You keep smoking! - Maybe you could smoke too, grandpa? And he treated his grandfather to a cigar. The grandfather asks: “Tell me, master teacher, how is it that you smoke expensive cigars, but I have nothing to buy ordinary tobacco with?” “Because I studied at school,” the teacher answered.
The grandfather walks and thinks: “I’ll go to school tomorrow too.” The next day he comes to school.
- What do you want, grandfather? - asks the teacher. - Yes, I came to school to study. - Eh, grandfather, you’re a little late. - Well, then be healthy...
The next day, grandfather got up early and went back to school.
- What do you want, grandfather? - I came to school early, otherwise you said yesterday that you were a little late. The teacher laughs: “That’s not what I said, grandfather!” It’s not that you’re late for class, but you’re already late to teach? late - too old. - And that’s true.
Grandfather turned home. goes and finds a bag on the road. I took it, opened it, and the bag was full of money. Grandfather and woman lived happily ever after.
They just somehow quarreled. The grandfather hit the woman on the back of the head. The woman got angry and reported that the grandfather had taken someone else’s bag with money.
They drag my grandfather to the police, interrogate him, beat him. The gentleman who owned that bag was also found.
And they summon the grandfather to court. The judge asks:
- Did you find the money, grandfather? - Did you find it? - And when did you find it? - Yes, when I went to school.
The judge looked: grandfather already? about seventy years old, and the gentleman is very young. "No. It’s not this gentleman’s money.” And my grandfather still had the money.
