loser at billiards

Reich is perhaps the best billiard player, while Soyuz, on the contrary, is still just learning the game. Reich is 30 years old, and Soyuz is only 21. Soyuz is studying to be an actor, and Reich makes his living winning billiards. Then one day they met at a billiard establishment, and Reich offered to compete with Soyuz. Soyuz agreed. Reich won every game and then proposed a final battle, for money. Soyuz agreed to the final, but not for money. Firstly, money is tight, and secondly, everyone plays for money; they want something new. In the end, Reich proposed a game of chance – if Reich wins, Soyuz is completely his; if Soyuz wins, Reich is completely his. And imagine Reich's surprise when Soyuz won. It was his first loss. Soyuz told Reich to pack his things and he would pick him up tomorrow. But the next day, the Union found Reich drunk, lying on the floor of his house, with broken bottles all around. In the end, the Union not only took Reich away but also cleaned up the place. Reich lived in a large mansion, and the Union in a small wooden house on the outskirts of town.
