Averchenko Arkadiy Timofeevich. The Impossible. The teacher of History, Maksim Ivanovich Tachkin, was sitting bowed his head to the teacher-journal and was listing it in ominous silence. -- Let's call to the blackboard... well, though, at least... Sinyuhin Nikolay! Sinukhin Nikolay immediately turned pale, lowered his head, approached the chair and opened his mouth twisted frantically. -- Well? - encouraged him Tachkin. -- I do not know the lesson... - looking out the window, frightened Sinyuhin said. -- Yeah? - seemingly surprised Tachkin. -- Why not? Would you explain me?.. Sinyuhin Nikolay would need to be explained that the system "from here to here" and "repeat what was set last Wednesday" - so dry system that it could not interest Sinyuhin. Sinyuhin could be said that he tried several times to get a gasp of the book, serveral times started "from here", but the dry facts that not excited a fervered imagination were mixed, scattered and interfered Sinyuhin to get this "to here" with their unnecessary bulkiness; to get this lovely "to here" that luring each swoted diligent student with its comfort and freedom.
