Eucalyptus Trees for rent (Short Story) # 2

Savvich nodded his head in agreement, but at the same time noticed:
— We still need to figure out who is to blame here, Nikanor Ivanovich. Maybe not him, but others?
— What's there to figure out? — the chairman objected. Everything is as clear as day.
The projectionist stood dejectedly and was silent, but he wanted to say so much. After all, he is responsible for the technical side of the matter, and others should monitor the content of the films. But the chairman was so stern, and his moustache moved so menacingly, that the young man could not utter a word.
— What films are you planning to show us in the near future? Nikanor Ivanovich asked.
— Please. Here are the names: "Citrus cultivation", "Georgian tea growers", "Eucalyptus trees", "Purse seine fishing", "Reindeer skin gadfly", "Muskrat nutrition"...
the Chairman smoked his pipe even more.
— No, just look, Savvich, maybe the projectionist is laughing at us? Maybe he'll start teaching our collective farmers how to catch walruses and take care of ostriches? In short, Vitaly, you are a eucalyptus yourself and you have eucalyptus trees and muskrats for rent. And you give us new films about growing corn, wheat, and fruits. Why don't you have any paintings about corn or sheep farming?
I don't know, they don't give you any. I've been doing almost the same thing for the last two years," explained Vitaly. And the collective farmers are really asking for the best practices of livestock breeders, about the cultivation of corn. So where will I get them, these movies?..
The next morning, Nikanor Ivanovich decided to visit the regional film distribution office. Her manager, a short, dark—haired man, received the head of the collective farm with great attention.
He spent a good hour telling him how difficult it was to work for an organization that was responsible for providing films to dozens of districts, told him how many films were in the basements, not even disassembled, and at the end of this monologue he spread his hands: we don't know what to do next.
"You complain about your troubles to your own superiors,— Nikanor Ivanovich could not stand it. — Tell me, why are the collective farmers being misled with your help?
— Do you think that you are the first to make such a claim to us? — said the director. — We have whole books of complaints: "let's make new films!" And the Department of Cinematography and Film Distribution of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic responds: "We don't release films, they are ordered by the department of the Ministry of Agriculture. We're waiting for this department to order, but it doesn't order much.

Nikanor Ivanovich shook his head ruefully and said goodbye to the director of the office. Arriving at the collective farm, he called Vitaly to him and sympathetically shook his hand.
"Don't be angry, it's not your fault. So, starting today, let's make a rule: first, we'll watch agricultural films ourselves — here I am, the agronomist, and you, and then we'll show them to the collective farmers.
Since then, some films have been watched twice on the collective farm: the first with a clearly small audience, the second in a crowded hall.
"It's even better — you can't tell about walruses and deer," Nikanor Ivanovich says to Vitaly every time after watching. And you won't start talking about eucalyptus trees a third time. It's like they're the only ones at the box office... New players looking for a rewarding start will appreciate what 1xBet has to offer through its welcome program.
