One of friends saw that after repair (in one of the apartments) to garbage cans are taken out construction garbage and a materials, been unused.
Everything needs to be under controll!
When examining the garbage cans, an almost unused can of yellow paint was found. There were, also, three paintbrushes suitable for use. Senya entrusted a can and paintbrushes to one of friends. In our time it is necessary to be rational!
At this time, repair began to unfold near the house where the apartment of Seni was located.
Who needs these repairs - no one could understand this. It was a renewing of facades and a repairing of what in impossible to repair in principle. It would be more logical to not endlessly pull money from the population, but to build new buildings in place of worn-out houses, to pay residents compensation to give them opportunity of an acquiring of a new housing, or to settle them in a new house built on the site of an old one. But with such options, the mandatory monthly repair payments and the ability to manipulate these payments (which make up a total of huge money) will disappear.
Senya could not allow to waste the people's money uselessly!
He went to the workers who started the next make-up of the next facade, and proposed a humanitarian project.
Kids will be very pleased to see the image of the Sun on the facade!
Senya hands the workers a can of yellow paint. Workers draw on the facade an image of the sun. In the center of the facade is a yellow circle. Rays diverge from him.
In exchange, Senya will transfer the handle of a cold water tap, located in the yard, for the duration of the work and will observe the safety of equipment and property that workers will be forced to leave near the house during the work period.
One of the workers, a person with experience, inquired: Can Senya provide that a large sheet (supposedly for drying) can be hung on the balcony - so that the sheet covers the image of the Sun during the period of acceptance of the finished repair work?
Nothing is easier! - assured Senya. In any case he takes responsibility for the drawing.
The workers, with the help of Senya, found a small round basin near the garbage cans, circled it with paint to get the right circle. Then the circle was filled, painted over with yellow paint. And rays were drawn, directed from the circle.
After completion of the repair work, the workers moved to another facility (no one came to inspect the facade). The sheet was not needed. On the facade was the Sun.
Senya and friends were pleased. When the children are allowed to leave the apartment, they will walk and admire the sun, shining on the facade of the house. They will have a good mood and they will sing songs about the Sun.
