"The brave European in paws enraged sinantropov!" - Sadovsky Has proclaimed. - "It is eaten entirely, there was only a
trace of a boot of firm" Shuz Madzhestik ". Buy products" Shuz Madzhestik "if want that after you though something
remains".
It were not sinantropy, - Zhilin has patiently told. - the thumb differs even approximately. Professor Usodzuki names them
nahonantropami.
SHemjakin, at last, has not sustained.
And why, actually, necessarily duck? - He has asked. - why we always choose the most probable from all hypotheses? - It is
valid, why? - Sadovsky has told. - traces, the Newcomer has left, of course, and the first contact has ended tragically.
And why also is not present? - Shemjakin has told. - Who could carry a boot two hundred centuries ago? - Fur-trees-sticks, -
Sadovsky has told. - if to speak seriously it is a trace of one of archeologists.
Zhilin has rolled up a head.
First, clay there has absolutely hardened. The age of a trace does not cause doubts. Really you think, what Usodzuki has
not thought of such possibility? - Then it is a duck, - Sadovsky has obstinately told.
Tell Ivan, - Shemjakin has told, - and the trace photo was not resulted? - And as, - Zhilin has told. - both a trace photo, and a
cave photo, and a photo of Usodzuki... And consider, at Japanese the biggest size of forty second. At most forty third.
Give so, - Gorchakov has told. - we Will consider that before us it is necessary to construct a problem logically consistent
hypothesis explaining these the Japanese find.
Please, - Shemjakin has told. - I offer - the Newcomer. Find in this hypothesis the contradiction.
Sadovsky has given up as a bad job.
Again the Newcomer, - has told it. - simply any brontosaur.
Easier to assume, - Gorchakov, - that it all the same a trace of any European has told. Any tourist.
Yes, this or any unknown animal, or the tourist, - Vlchek has told. - Traces of animals have sometimes surprising forms.
Age, age... - Zhilin has quietly told.
Then simply unknown animal.
For example, a duck, - Sadovsky has told.
Has returned Bulls, it was solidly arranged in an armchair and has asked: - Well-well, what here at you? - Here companions
try to explain somehow the Japanese trace, - Zhilin has told. - Are offered: the Newcomer, the European, an unknown
animal.
Also what? - Has told Bulls.
All these hypotheses, - - even a hypothesis Zhilin has told about the newcomer, contain one monstrous contradiction.
What? - Shemjakin has asked.
I have forgotten to tell to you, - Zhilin has told. - the area of a cave of forty square metres. The boot trace is in the middle of a
cave.
Well, also what? - Shemjakin has asked.
And he one, - has told Zhilin.
Some time all were silent.
N-yes, - Sadovsky has told. - a ballad about the one-legged Newcomer.
Perhaps other traces are erased? - Has assumed Vlchek.
It is absolutely excluded, - Zhilin has told. - twenty pairs absolutely distinct traces of bare feet on all cave and one distinct
trace of a boot in the middle.
