16. NATASHA ZARAKOVICH
    Last night Natasha had a big surprise. Yesterday was her birthday and she thought that nobody at the laboratory knew. She didn’t want to tell them because Russian people always bring a lot of food to the office to celebrate and Natasha was on a strict diet. But she didn’t remember that her boss, Gregori, was going out a lot with one of her best friends, Karina. Gregori and Karina had lunch together yesterday and Karina told him that it was Natasha’s birthday. At 4:20, ten minutes before Natasha was planning to go to the national library, as she does every day, Gregori called her on the phone and asked her to help him with a report he was trying to get finished before 5:30. She thought this was strange, because Gregori doesn’t usually ask her to work late. At 4:30, she went to his office on the third floor. When she got there, there were 10 people with cakes and tea waiting to celebrate her birthday. They stayed in the office, having a good time, until 7:00 p.m. Then Gregori invited all of them to a nightclub in the center of Moscow where there was good vodka and a gypsy group that played folk music. They stayed at the nightclub, eating, drinking and dancing until 10:30. Natasha got home at 11:00. She talked to her mother for a few minutes and then went to bed, because she had to get up early this morning to go to the laboratory. She was glad that today was Friday.
