I had to somehow celebrate Christmas in a warmer climate - in distant India.
Here we sit the whole crew group at the hotel for a festive Christmas dinner.
restaurant is gorgeous, everything was breaking from the local delicacies.
Waiters on the occasion scurry between tables in the red and white Santa Claus hats, though they bareheaded all sweaty. Heat.
At each table there are beautiful Santa's sleigh with reindeer.
Since we had many, his sleigh, to save space on the table, we shake off at the empty chair.
ran a bustling Indian, brought another delicious, looked at the table and with fright said (he even spoke well in Russian):
-Oh, sorry, I'm on your desk does not put the cart of Santa Claus ...
We reassured him and showed that our "truck" is next to the chair.
The mood was playful, and I asked the waiter:
-Tell me, why Santa Claus "truck" without wheels?
guy picked it up and think hard, after all the snow he had seen only on the labels of Coca-Cola and does not seem to represent the principle of the sled.
And indeed, as they go without wheels ..?
Waiter puzzled:
-Sorry, I know now I'll ask the manager.
Indian grabbed the sled with deer and came to the same sweaty bedolage. They whispered, obviously clear to score. They were gradually joined by more and more waiters. Everyone was pulling their arms to the chocolate sleighs and wrinkling his brow, puzzled.
finally seeing some incomprehensible crowd in the middle of the room, came over the big boss. Director of the sea, no less (he was a hatless).
boss angrily asked - he hunted answered.
thoughtful boss, took the "cart", shook the hands and suddenly his face brightened.
He rushed towards us and smiling, tapping a palm emmer, said a mixture of Russian and English:
-It's Santa Claus! Kaneshno any wheel is not nada, bikos uu MEYDZHIK TRUCK!
