Lev 4

The next morning Lev and Kolya went to a building where it is believed that a old man and his chickens live. When they got there they knocked on the door and no one answered so Kolya decided they should wait. That morning was not a very good morning for Lev. Kolya asked him what was wrong, Lev told him it was nothing but Kolya knew it was something. He asked him if he was thinking about the Kirov, which had fallen days before when it was hit by a bomb. He said that he was, so Kolya told him a story about one of his Lieutenants and a boy who was upset about a letter he had received, the Lieutenant basically told the boy that he had a few minutes to cry and that after those few minutes he had to stop crying. This story made Lev a bit more angry. At this point Kolya knew that the Kirov was not the reason his friend was upset, so he asked again. That's when he realized that Lev was upset about the previous night. The reason Kolya and Sonya did not sleep with everyone else is because they went to the bedroom to make love. While Lev was listening to them he heard Kolya saying something to Sonya and he wanted to know what it was, so he asked. When Kolya head his question he told him that he told her the "usual stuff." Lev had no clue what the "usual stuff" was, so Kolya guessed that he was asking what to say because he's nervous and he was curious because he had never made love to anyone before, he told him everything he knew about making love.
