"We'll start in half an hour," said the circus director, who is also a clown, a chastushechnik and a shtrechstallmeister of this institution. Today they crossed the Magyar border, loaded up to their ears with smuggled pepper, which was forbidden to be exported from the country, selling it at exorbitant prices only to merchants and with the permission of the ruler himself.
- Hide it wherever you can, - the director ordered the acrobat and added: And where you can't, too.
The acrobat, grinning, turned the assistant around, pulled off his trousers and filled in the first batch.
The assistant giggled and advised the guys to pour themselves too. But in front.
"At least there will be something to brag about," she continued to giggle.
The director in an accordion suit began to adjust the folds from which the pepper tails were sticking out and muttered: Should I dress up as a hedgehog or something? Like - needles..
- Yeah, green, - the Acrobat's Assistant giggled again, - then pretend to be a Christmas tree.
The director did not appreciate the joke and continued the instructions: Now we are approaching the guards, I start singing vulgar ditties, and you dance. And more fabric for clothes! If you wave it around, no one will notice. As soon as the guards start laughing, and they will, I know them, rare morons, move through the outpost. Beyond the cordon is no longer their territory, they know about us from the other side.
- And why all this circus, - the young actress suddenly asked, - Let's just light up here with my dances, and when they stare at my charms, you will quietly go to the other side.
- Ugh, - the circus director slapped himself on the forehead, - perfect!
And together with the acrobat, they began to pick out the peppers back, forcing the assistant to laugh, enduring her ridicule of men.
