Nam sal uit nici odata pc
Proba Tanase, colegul meu din
clasa treia. De ce 0 fl fost ell,
Doamne, calul de bataie al clasei
81 al profesorilor, Fiindca IL che
ma Tanasef Fiindca ii mai zicea
81 Proba? Fiindca purta un mas
conabiu pc o fata pestruiatai Ori,
fiindca - flu adevarat al oboru-
lui - pastra sub forma cea mai
slmpla = 81 cea mai sincera -
mai ales in clipele de indignare
apucaturile barieri, care-l tri-
misese in mijlocul nostru? De la
inceput trebue sa Sc site: Tanase
nu era destept 81 de acest lucru
aveam de la Proba, in fiecare ri,
eel putin proba.
Profesorul de stiinte, ON vessel,
cind ceti la catalog pentru intfia
CARA nj uncle lui Proba, Isl Hasa
priirea asupra clasei 81 zimbi spre
fund, de unde glasul de sopran a
lui Proba, strigase rar 81 Impede.
Prezinte
= Unde esti TanaseY
Tanase Sc ridica in picioare. =
Clasa intreaga era in hohote,
profesorul rfdea Gu pofta de pc
catedra. = Nasul lui Tanasc, in
rosit, peste masura, alta din ce
in ce veselia baietilor.
Cum te chiama?
= Proba Tanase.
So &c spui ma? Asia 0 Fl numai
un hume de proba: dar numele
tau adevarat care e?
= Eprubeta Sc auzi o voce.
De atunci Tanase avu ca hume
stiintific eprubeta.
Negresit, a fost destul incepu-
tul, pentru ca toata atentia clasei
sa fie atrasa asupra lui.
-Proba Tanase, esi la lectie
Clasa intreaga tacea de odata.
Era un spectacol sigur 81 gratis.
Proba nu invata mimic.
- Domnule Tanase, te rog
scrie pc tabla propozitia urmatoa-
re: ,,Plapoma sereste 1nveli pc
oameni in timpul noptii".
Tanase scrie.
Acum, tradu-o in frantuze-
ste Cum Sc zice plapoma?
Tanase tace; nu site.
= Eli, nu stii? sa-ti spui eu.
Scrie -. La couverture.
Tai hase scrie: LA coviltir" -.
Profesorul nu bagase de seama.
Baietii sa stapineau pc de parte
de frica lui, caci era foarte aspru,
lar pc de alta parte fiindca as
teptau ca Tanase sd dea probe
inainte.
Urmeaza = zise profesorul -
La couverture sert..
Tanase scrise: LA coyiltir zer'' :.
Profesorul Sc uita la tabla 81
vazu presala.
y La loc! Cine tea adus aici?...
Ajunsesera proverbiale raspun-
surile lui Tanase. Nu era hume
propriu pc care sa null poceasca.
Gel putin, daca ar fl tacut!
La examenul de geometrie fu
un teatru intreg. Tanase era as
cultat muntii Germaniei.
Bietul Proba! - Din toti mum
til, el sta numai o singura numi-
re: Gebirge. = Gu indrazneala
rara, curaj ce-ti da une orr lupta
Desperate pentru nota, Tanase
incepu nascoci la hume nem-
testi, arora lie adaoga la coada
gebirge. Astfel, incepu: ,,Muntii
Germaniei sunt: Hat-gebirge, Frit
gebirge, Poc-gebirge, Tronc-gebir-
ge, Tac-gebirge".
fntii profesorul de baga de sea-
ma. Oar cind vazu ca baietii rid
de auzul lui Poe, Tronc 81 Tao, ce
