The Watermelon Trip Nov 8, 1965

Forwarder Gaidamovich was assigned to deliver a ton of watermelons through the impassable taiga to a distant drilling site. Gaidamovich nursed his valuable cargo like a small child: he covered it with tarpaulin, laid straw, but he brought only a mountain of broken watermelons to the rig. But the oilmen were not upset.
