THE LAVROVSIt happened during the Great Patriotic War, when the Soviet people fought against the German fascists, defending the freedom and independence of the country. In 1943 Alexei Lavrov was on the front. One day, after a fierce battle, when the Soviet Army had defeated the enemy unit and liberated a small village, he went into one of the village houses. He didn't see anybody at first. Then, he heard a weak voice. Turning round, he saw a thin, pale boy of about eight. "What are you doing here? Is there anyone else in the house? Where are your parents?" Lavrov asked him. "There's nobody else here. My parents have been killed," the boy answered. "Please don't leave me here. I'm afraid to stay in this house." Alexei decided to take the boy with him though he didn't know what he would do with him on the front. He couldn't leave the child alone there, he just couldn't! All the soldiers and officers liked the boy. He stayed with them a month, but then Alexei realized he couldn't keep the child on the front any longer. He didn't know what to do. Luckily a delegation of workers, among whom there was a girl of about eighteen, came to the front from Moscow. Lavrov asked her to take the boy with her, and she agreed gladly. Early next morning the unit was unexpectedly ordered to change its position and get ready for an advance, and Alexei had no time to have a word with the girl or even ask her address. One day in 1952, Lavrov was going home after the May Day civil parade when suddenly somebody called out to him. Turning round, he saw an old friend named Pavlov. "Hallo," Pavlov said smiling. "Glad to see you. I don't think we've met since 1945," Alexei was also pleased to see him. They talked of old times and their friends. "By the way," Pavlov said. "Are you spending the. evening with your family?" "I'm afraid I haven't got a family yet," Lavrov answered, "and 1 haven't made up my mind yet where to go." "Then come to my place at eight o'clock this evening", Pavlov said. Alexei was delighted, and at exactly eight he was knocking at Pavlov's door. He went into the room, and was introduced to the guests. Everybody was enjoying the party. Some of the guests were dancing, others were talking, laughing and joking, when somebody began to play the piano and sing a beautiful song. Everybody stopped talking at once. At that moment two more guests appeared. They were a young woman and a boy of about sixteen. As soon as they came into the room, they, too, stopped near the piano, listening to the singer. When Alexei looked at the woman, he thought that he had met her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was... He no longer listened to the song. He looked at the woman, trying to remember where he had seen her. The boy called her "Mother", but she didn't look more than twenty-five. Alexei went up to Pavlov and asked him, "Don't you think that that mother is too young for her son?" "Well, he is not really her son," Pavlov answered. "In 1943 an officer asked her to take a little boy from the front to Moscow and..." Interrupting him Alexei cried out. "Of course, that's who it is.. ." And that is the end of the story. Now you understand why there's a difference of twenty years between the Lavrovs' two sons, don't you?

LESSON TWENTY (THE TWENTIETH LESSON) AN INCIDENT FROM THE LIFE OF A RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONARY "Every worker must understand that the only way to a happy future is through struggle and the struggle is growing harder and harder. On the one hand..." A knock at the door interrupted Bauman. He stopped speaking and first looked at the people sitting round him, and then at the dentist, in whose waiting-room they were having their secret meeting. "Are you expecting any patients?" he asked. Everybody understood what Bauman's question meant. They didn't even speak to each other, they didn't have to be reminded what to do. One of them accompanied the dentist into the surgery, while the others sat down on the chairs standing along the wall and pretended to be patients waiting their turn. It didn't take them long. When everything was ready, the dentist's maid went to answer the knock and soon came back with an unexpected visitor, who tried to go straight into the surgery. "I say, it isn't your turn," a 'patient' sitting next to the door said to him. "I can't wait. I've got a terrible toothache," the man answered, hurriedly examining everybody's face. Bauman, who pretended that he was reading a newspaper, didn't even turn his head to look at the strange visitor. He could, however, clearly see the man's face, and recognized him at once. He was a spy, the same man he had often seen before. "Has he brought the police with him?"... One thing was clear: it was necessary to keep the spy in the flat as long as possible, so that he would believe that they were real patients. Bauman looked up at the newcomer, and for a moment it seemed to him that there was Joy in the man's eyes. Then Bauman said as politely as he could. "We don't mind if the dentist sees him first, do we?" and then, turning to the spy, "Since you have a bad toothache, you can go next." The spy didn't know what to say. At that moment the surgery door opened and the dentist asked the next patient in. Bauman, who went on watching the spy, immediately said, "Anyone with bad teeth should certainly have them out." In a second the spy was sitting in the dentist's chair. The dentist told him to open his mouth wide, examined his teeth with great care, and began working quickly. A quarter of an hour later he showed the patient two large yellow teeth and said: "I did my best. To tell you the truth it was quite a serious operation. You should take better care of your teeth. Ten roubles, please." For a minute the spy stood there, not knowing what to do. "Would you like me to do anything else for you?" the dentist asked, smiling. The spy answered nothing, paid the money, and hurried out into the waiting-room. He expected to find no one there, but to his great surprise everybody was in his place. The spy could do nothing but leave the dentist's flat. When the spy had left, someone said, "It's a good thing he had bad teeth." "But he didn't ... He just has two good teeth less now than he did when he came," the dentist explained, and added, "and it didn't cost him much. So he should be grateful." Everybody laughed, and Bauman said, "That was a good idea. Didn't I say that they would break their teeth if they fought against us? I wonder whether he will be able to go and report to the police after that. I don't think they'll be able to make out anything he says. Well, I think we can go on with our meeting now."
