I still can’t forget the face of Villan. Actually, after after all these years ,I always remember his face at the first day of my pension. Villan was the employee of Secretariat Office.All of his property was just his salary.The first day of the month, when Villan takes his salary, he starts to talk.This day when he came back office from the bank. You could figure out from the bulge of his pocket that he puts all of his salary in his left pocket.

Villan from the first day of month that he took his salary,he smokes cigar ,gets drunken,and lives happy till 15th day of the month that his salary finished finishes and he live meekly the rest of month.

I was coworkers with Villan about 15 years .I heard later that he spent his life like that for 30 years . The last day I was transferred from the Department, Villan was sitting on the platform of office .I step forward to tell him farewell! 

I sat beside of him him and after lots of prattle, I tried to tell him why he does not try to change the way that he lives to cross out save himself from this situation.When I told him, he was surprised , he turned his face immediately and asked “which situation??!!!!”

I was shocked and in while  I was staring at him without moving I continued :“Half noble, half beggar”

With staring at me Villan said:

-Have you ever smoked cigar?

-No 

-Have you ever walked into a great concert?

-No .I said.

- have you ever eaten French food?

-No

- have you ever spent your money to buy  a gift 

(to surprise the one you love ?

-No

-No

-Have you ever fall in love?

-Have you ever stayed in Moscow for a week to have fun?

-hmmm No

-Pity you! Are you alive?

I said: hmmm ….Yes …hmmm...No …..Hmmm…I do not know!

Villan was staring at me...A heavy sight!

I looked at him, He was standing in front of me .He was so young and attractive! Taxi arrived .He gave me a cigar and after that he said a sentence that change my way of life …

Villan asked me .do you know how long you will be alive?

I replied: NO

And he said : then try to live half of month !

The life is short ,try to enjoy it .

But of course I DO NOT AGREE WITH VILLAN  LOL :-D
