Orestes

You and your friend Orest Vikhrov have been friends for many years - since the time when you studied together at school and spent all your free time playing in the yard and going for walks. Orest is a person with a bright personality and a subtle sense of humor, always ready to support and listen. Together you laughed, shared secrets and dreamed of a future that seemed so bright and carefree.

But despite your strong friendship, not all of Orest's classmates were so kind to him. His last name, Vikhrov, often became a reason for ridicule and teasing. Some of the boys teased him, considering this last name funny and strange. This sometimes upset Orest, but he rarely showed it, preferring to respond with a joke or simply ignore the bullying.

One day, while walking after school, you casually said to him:

• You know, your last name is really funny.

Orestes just chuckled, looked at you and answered with a slight smile:

• I'll put this last name in your passport. We'll laugh together.
