April 12, 1961

Once upon a time Feliks was sitting at the lake and fishing. It was nice and warm weather and he hoped that nothing will destroy this wonderful time. However soon he heard someone's running steps and when he turned back, he saw Tino. The Fin stopped and leaned himself on the nearest tree. For a few seconds he tried to catch his breath and finally he looked at astonished Pole.

"Hey, Feliks, Feliks! Russians gone into space!" Tino screamed.

Feliks' eyes opened at this news. Then wide grin appeared on his face and he asked with hope:

"All of them?"

"No, only Gagarin." Tino answered.

Feliks' grin faded away all of sudden and Pole returned to fishing saying:

"Oh. So why you're bothering me?"


This old joke has two versions. In first there are two Fins, who are fishings and third Fin comes to them and tells about Gagarin. In second version there are three Poles. Well, both Poles and Fins don't like Russians and has a lot of jokes about them.
