The author of the story is Vira Maidarova. Valeria felt that she was sick: her body ached, and she wanted pickles.

Even a breakdown in the muscles was not a harbinger of the disease. But the cucumbers were the first sign that she was getting sick.
The temperature rose, she felt nauseous and nauseous.

Illness was coming, and it seemed inevitable. Valeria opened the refrigerator and took out a jar of cucumbers, but, unfortunately, there were no cucumbers there – only brine with spices. Tolik’s bad habit of putting jars in the refrigerator with only one brine annoyed Valeria. She slammed the refrigerator door with force and sat helplessly on a chair.

Taking the phone, Valeria dialed Tolik’s number, but the caller was temporarily unavailable.
