Leon did not like arithmetic, but he read a lot of adventure books. And in the third day of the launch of an artificial satellite of the Earth boy got in mind to build a satellite and forever leave the Earth. Very hard to do, and Leon invited his friend to help him Romka. Do not be tempted surprise that the guys believe in what will build the satellite and space flight. It happens in childhood years.Events unfolded quickly. Leon received a deuce in arithmetic, Romka smashed home the most expensive vase, then the window. And both as quickly as possible to fly to the interplanetary space. Started fast preparation. A vacant lot, around the tree, iron barrel was empty. Must somehow contrive to throw it to the sky. And they started tinkering catapult. They dug a trench under the barrel, installed springs, springs and levers. Particular hardship guys when pulled up a tree and tied a hefty stone. He must, falling from a height, to put in place mechanisms and throw a satellite into space.
Time has passed. The boys climbed into the barrel. Lenya in solemn silence fastened hatch (cover drums), and then he gave the order:
- Ready! Start!
bated breath, Leon struggled pulled the rope to the second end of which there is, in a tree, a stone being tied. There was a crash, something thundered. Barrel insanely turned around and jumped. Dumplings, bread, herring, potatoes, onions, and another for the prepared dish spun flight with astronauts ... The satellite oppressive silence reigned. And the guys were thinking that flying around in space. Leon even shouted:
- Hooray! We're flying!
Suddenly a loud scream. The sky was cursing someone quickly. This voice belonged Fyokla janitor. What was at a meeting with her ... do not ask ... After an exciting meeting with parents guys ashamed. At school, a full month, joking, asking travelers about the experience of "space travel."
It turned out the most important thing to build a satellite, have a good knowledge of arithmetic, and Leon soon became the top student of the class. Words and phrases: space, the third man-made satellite, the most expensive vase, catapult, trench, spring, lever, astronaut, breathless space.
