That is, I remember several stories about the Vahan:

***
He was sensitive to the word.
Exalted girl is as follows:
- Oh, look there Mena erotychnoe name - puts Ananian!
*
In the grocery store came to the checkout.
Cashier - young Estonian women, clearing goods donated aloud the contents of the basket:
- ..., ..., ..., Kaks Piim (two milk).
Upon hearing this phrase, Vahan revived and, surprised by such familiarity, said:
- Normalno sleep.
*
The phrase was useful. I use it later.
Once again, having arrived in Tallinn in the early morning, I wandered through the old town, watching his awakening. Janitors scraped brooms, stevedores were unloading grain from the neighboring street attracted the smell of fresh fish. Behind me rang the bell, and looked out the open door sales of confectionery shops. It is something affably said in Estonian. I realized - I was invited into the store, thinking that I expect to open it. The clerk continued to stammer something, I politely smiled and, using the magic phrase, bought two small chocolates. In the street, ran nose to nose with Vahan. He was returning home from a night festivities.
- Slyuschay as ti bought it, eh?
- Kaks shokolatte "- I replied.
- A passport?
- What passport?
- Ty schto nothing znaesch? Mi Galindians here to die, "Ha!
I did not know that Estonia introduced perestroika restrictions on the sale of food - only to documents confirming Republican registration.
- And why tolko two schtuki? - Asked Vahan, eviscerated chocolate.
- I do not know how in Estonian will be "one hundred".
- Kaks schakalyaty Kaks schakalyaty ... ... - taught him and he entered the store.
- Tere - greeted the saleswoman.
Vahan nodded as the present Estonian. He went to the counter and began to carefully examine the goods. Finally, having determined the choice, he said:
- Kaks schakalyaty.
Saleswoman, before that we watched through the shop window, grinned and gave him two chocolates.
- M-m-mu - thanked her Vahan air kiss, and added:
- And once again, kaks schakalyaty.
