This story happened on a large steamship where many people had gathered. One day, an enormous steamship set out on a cruise across the sea. Each person had their own cabin, and everyone was looking forward to an interesting and exciting journey that was supposed to last seven days.
The weather was wonderful. Bright sunshine shone from early morning, peeking through the portholes, and the sea was calm and endless. Seagulls circled in the sky, calling to each other, and passengers were having a great time on deck.
The captain was in charge of the steamship. He walked proudly along the deck and made sure everything was going well for everyone. He gave clear commands to his assistants, carefully inspected everything around him, and maintained order.
For all seven days, different entertainments were planned. And so that the vacationers would have fun, be comfortable and safe, people of different professions worked on the steamship. A professional chef prepared delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He created such wonderful culinary masterpieces that some people were even afraid to touch them. There was also a doctor on the steamship who knew which medicine to give a person in case of illness.
To make the vacationers' time more enjoyable, singers, musicians, and dancers performed concerts. People happily listened to beautiful songs and musical pieces and watched wonderful couples dancing dances from different cultures around the world.
And everything was fine until the steamship encountered a terrible fog. Nothing could be seen ahead, the sea became turbulent, and the seagulls began to cry so loudly that people were afraid to leave their cabins. The steamship stopped, and the fog, as if enchanted, engulfed everything around it. The steamship had entered an enchanted zone.
From that moment on, everything began to go wrong...
The chef suddenly announced that he no longer wanted to cook; he would treat people instead. The doctor happily agreed to prepare breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, just to avoid dealing with thermometers and pills anymore. The captain's assistants suddenly decided to become dancers, and the singer announced that she would take the helm.
People could not understand what was happening.
What is this? This isn't food, it's medicine! We're hungry!
The ship's guests cried out indignantly when they saw a pile of small round pills on their plates instead of a beautiful dish.
Are you trying to treat me with flour? Do you think if I smear it on my face, my rash will go away?
A patient with an allergic reaction to some fruit asked the new doctor in confusion. His face had begun to look like a fly agaric mushroom.
What kind of clumsy movements are these?
People cried out in outrage when they saw the captain's assistants on stage instead of professional performers.
Why is our steamship spinning like a top in one place? What's happening and who's at the helm?
The vacationers asked the captain anxiously.
It was the eighth day of the journey, and people began to worry about how they would get home. Chaos reigned on the steamship, and no one knew what would happen next. Then, in the distance, a huge white ship appeared. It was rapidly approaching the steamship, sending out loud signals.
As it drew close to the steamship, the captain suddenly heard a voice:
What's going on with you? Your steamship should have returned home long ago!
We don't know what happened! But my entire crew has become as if enchanted. The chef started treating people, the doctor suddenly became a chef. Our singer is at the helm and I can't make her leave. My assistants decided they were dancers, and now there's no one to operate the steamship.
The captain shouted with all his might so they could hear him on the ship.
We'll help you! Be patient!
At that moment, thunder rumbled, and rain poured down. But literally a minute later, the sun appeared in the sky, and the clouds suddenly disappeared. The fog dispersed, and the seagulls stopped crying loudly and frightening people.
Everyone returned to their own work.
The chef resumed cooking, the doctor returned to his cabin and began prescribing medicines and taking temperatures for those who needed it.
The singer performed such a beautiful song that all the people on the steamship began to smile.
The steamship got underway, and the captain's assistants returned to their duties. Everything fell back into place.
No one ever found out what really happened. But everyone understood one thing—each person should focus on their own work and do it well!
The chef should cook, the doctor should treat, artists should bring joy and emotion to people, and the captain's assistants should follow his commands and ensure the safety of people on the steamship!
Everything ended well, but each of those who had been on this steamship became more attentive, responsible, and devoted to their beloved profession.
