Lucky chance or a double misfortune.
My brother had a fellow, who an exciting event occured with.
The fellow named Alex Jablonsky had quite an adventurous mindset.
Alex was persistently mired in new genious ideas and a lot of people were jealous his inexhaustible energy.
Alghough he had two small shortcomings : he liked to drink and he was a gambler.
Once Jablonsky was going in train in a business trip and was whiling away the time for the both occupations
i.e. he was drinking and playing cards in his compartment with other passengers of the carridge.
The process has been under its own power and Jablonsky was druk as a lord and he was nearly ruined his poker partners at midnight.
Two hours later,when one had to go he lost the nines and was dead drunk.
There was warm Belarusian night around when the train stopped, and he walked to the platform with his luggage without a penny of money in his pocket.
Stars were shining overhead, wheels of passing trains were chattering and all around was filled with the noise of the train station.
Depressed frusrated staggering Jablonsky  was slowly stepping along railroad tracks.
After some time he put his luggage on the ground, lit a cigarette and he laid his head on the rail while he had seen a glowing light of an approaching train far away.
However, he continued to smoke while the sound of the approaching train  was getting stronger and stronger.
His heart was trying unbearably to escape from his chest, an awfull rumbling  beat his ear membranes.
He fancied the well-fed and contented passengers in train that will cut his body into pieces.
And while there were only a few moments Jablonsky whispered, - "All for the better!" Then he added " It is that the deceaded said before his dearth".
At last seconde he felt that his pants were wet and hot.
The train flew forward, carring indifferent passengers but nothing happened.
It turned out him to confuse the rails and the train went past on another way.
Stunned and excited Jablonsky rose heavily,trying to shake off a heap of sticky dust.
Then he turned and went to a nearby hotel.
