The boy Mitya overslept in the morning. The alarm clock rang - he turned it off. The signal "Listen up everyone" / wake-up call to the Pioneer Dawn school sounded on the radio - he covered the loudspeaker with a pillow. The guys shouted through the window that the whole class had gone to take the BGTO standard, but Mitya was sleeping and was letting everyone down, which meant he would not receive the BGTO badge ("Be ready for work and defense"). But Mitya, with great reluctance, said, "I'll go tomorrow," and covered himself with a blanket.
