They had breakfast, got everything arranged for the trip and left the house at 10 o'clock.
The streets were crowded with people. Some of them were going to museums and exhibitions, others — to visit their friends. Many young people and children were carrying skis or skates.
In five minutes the Fyodorovs got toSavyolovsky station. In an hour they were at Tourist station together with the other skiers. The frosty air was wonderfully fresh. Everything around was covered with snow.
After the trip everybody felt a bit tired, but pleased with the day (which they had) spent out of town. After dinner the brothers played chess. The mother and the father said they preferred to stay at home and watch TV. The father said (that) the Sunday TV programme promised to be interesting. They would watch a new film and listen to a Mussorgsky opera with pleasure.
But Yuri and Victor were not going to rest at home. Their friend Alexander was celebrating his birthday. Both brothers had been invited. Mother wished them to have a good time at the party– The young men said goodbye to their parents and left the house.
