Once Pavlukha asked why Viktor Nikolaevich took him to work. To which he replied that he has a duty to his own son, who is in prison. It turned out that the man learned about this when he worked in Kamchatka. The boy was about to ask if he had seen his father, when suddenly Victor Nikolayevich felt sick.

He could not clearly explain to the driver what was the matter, and he left. Then the boy put the tripod, which he and Victor Nikolayevich used to work, right in the middle of the road. At that time a car with military men was passing by, they stopped and, when they understood what was happening, they helped the elderly man and sent him to the hospital. Pavlukha thought that if he had at least a little money, he would have thanked the soldiers and bought them cigarettes. The topic of duty rises again in the story “How much is the debt” (summary).

As it turned out, Roman had a son that day. Putting his hand in his pocket for money, Pavlukha changed his mind and just stood up silently, took off his boots and put them next to the child, saying that they are very good boots, let him wear it.
