A few minutes later a great heap of different rags and the old books grew next to the converter. And because of ending any real garbage Obrezov brought from the mother-in-law’s room quite a lot of that madam’s magazines. All they were issued, only God knew, how many years ago. Alas, having eaten all this rubbish the converter gave out the TV-set of two times less in the size than a real «Rubin» was.
«It’s impossible really to make an exact copy of this TV-set from even any book», busily explained the alien. «But it’ll definitely be in size of a lump sugar piece. And, of course, it will be working».
«Who needs such a TV-set for midgets!», with irritation in voice exclaimed Obrezov. And suddenly a very light thought visited to him. «Listen to me! What’s about water? I mean banal water from a tap. Is it possible to get something hard from simple water?»
«Certainly possible», the tone of the wizard’s voice hadn’t even been changed. «It’s only needed to regulate it a little. This regulation, I think, takes no more than twenty minutes. I mean I have enough time. But it’s needed to turn about twenty kilograms unstable form of raw».
Obrezov reminded he hadn’t still had any video-recorder or a player and therefor in the flat there wasn’t any original thing of such a kind to copy. Having come to calm in his head he returned to the topic of that magic case’s pedigree.
«Yes», agreed the alien, «it’s time to disclose the cards. A fortiori it’s already finishing. Well, I see you’ve already guessed that this apparatus is made on other planet. And I’m an emissary of that planet. One minute! No fainting! Nothing especial is happening. Simply the choice has fallen on you and the cause of it is just very subjective. I have no permission to tell about. And only one thing you can do personally is that you get a choice – to take this case to use (that’s, of course, without any terms and payment) or to refuse taking this gift. If you choose the first variant the converter stays at Earth forever and can’t be returned to its masters at all, in any circumstances. In the second variant it won’t be proposed to anybody and I’ll send it there where I have got. Is it clear to you? Then take, please, in attention that destroying this converter is not possible for all the forces of your civilization – in any circumstances, too. However having desire you’re able to copy with its aid as many the same cases as you’ll need. Have I expressed clearly?
