命运象是决心要狠狠地捉弄一下本篇故事的主人公。在离开饭店不远的一条街上,一辆装饰着气球和鲜花的“伏尔加”一个急转弯给飞驰而过的“救护车”让路,两辆汽车几乎相撞。这个饭店里将要举行盛大的婚礼。“有人发生了不幸”,瓦吉姆·彼得洛维奇担忧地说。“可我们是大喜”,娜杰日达·巴甫洛芙娜满面春风地答道,“我俩终于在一起了。” Fate is determined to fiercely tease the protagonist of this story. In a street not far from the hotel, a sharp turn of “Volga” decorated with balloons and flowers gives way to the speeding Ambulance, and the two cars almost collide. There will be a grand wedding in this hotel. “Someone has been unlucky,” said Vajpay Petrovich worriedly. “But we are overjoyed,” replied Nastjiva Pavlovna, “We’re finally together.”
