The trip

Misha, Sasha and Masha drove in Misha's Mercedes to pick up some mushrooms. In the woods they found one broken recliner, two sofas, several tires and one old mattress. They didn't find any mushrooms. On their way back they stopped at McDonald for lunch. Misha then sold her Mercedes to somebody who likes these old, junky cars and doesn't mind they do not have any heating or air conditioning. Sasha went next day to Kindergarten in his new, smart uniform. He told about his trip to the woods. On Wednesday whole kindergarten with their teacher and her husband drove back to the woods and picked up all trash: empty bottles, papers and boxes from McDonald. Teacher's husband and his friend lifted recliner, two sofas, tires, old mattress and other stuff and put them on the truck. They also picked all broken glass. The forest now looked clean. The teacher took pictures of her class. The pictures were on a bulletin board and in the local newspaper and everybody was proud of children and their teacher. The husband and his friend kept change for all sold cans. It didn't cover price of the gas, they said. What happened to Masha? She walked home and crawled into the bed. She is still sleeping.
