On his right, Jim, his friend from childhood was sitting. He was so happy to be next to him on this honorable day with his red tie, black shirt and black chausseures. Till 17th of August, the maroon was the best color for him. Till the moment that jack told him " this is not a main color, you have to mix the black and the red". Second chair on the left was his upstairs neighbor, Andrey. -Judas Cossack- what he always called him. He was the one who surrendered during the war in Berlin. What a perfidiousness! Despite it's thursday night, there was an April rain at the outside. Jack was feeling that today must be April. Mr Smith who is the most honored person in the room raised his hand and said " it's your turn Mr Jack, let's listen you". Jack was hasitated, looked at Andrey and Jim, hit his hands to his laps, standed up with a great agility and said " hello, my name is Jack and I'm an alcoholic gambler". It was an honorable day for Jack.
