Tire Swan Gerund

It should have been Gennady, but no. Here is Gerund Mutadanoid Rykin. Gerund has been a tire all his long life, but he never went anywhere. Rykin was bought as a spare tire for the grandfather’s Peter car. Years passed, and Gerund spent time on the shelf of the cooperative garage, listening to stories of other tires, and was bored of it and of life. In time the Zaporozhets car and grandfather himself were gone. And the Gerund hung on the shelf and waited. As a result, Gerund lost his hope. And also he became a little bit afraid of the road and cars. The garage was filled with rubbish, and nothing seemed to change. Until a big construction company decided to build an elite residential estate named "Slender Stumps." The descendants of grandfather Peter came to the garage and carried everything out of there. This all included Gerund. Having learned how much the recycling of the tire costs, the descendants presented Gennady to his neighbor Ivan Ivanovich. That's how Gerund became a tire swan. Gerund hadn't thought about plastic surgery before, but he liked it. Being a tire swan turned out to be more interesting for Gerund than being a tire in a garage. Since 2007, Gerund has been standing at the front door in Kupchino, at the house 136 / 5g. He is not alone anymore. Now he has a friend, Tea mushroom Vasily, who has spent his whole life here. Together with him, Gerund condemns the grandchildren of Vasily. They are awful and do not follow the path of the proud tea mushrooms community. And they had abandoned the covenants and customs of their ancestors. They even want to become a kombucha. But more on that another time. Today Gerund is preparing for the working week when he will observe the daily migration of the city population and listen to conversations.
