The teacher is talking about the future.
– Here you are, Vovochka, what will you become when you grow up?
– A policeman.
– What if there are no police then? There will be no criminals and no one to catch.
– Then firemen.
– But society will improve itself in such a way that there will be no negligence, not a single fire will be allowed. Why firefighters? “Then I’ll become an officer.”
– While you grow up, reason will triumph throughout our planet. People will live a peaceful, happy life. The military will be of no use.
– Why are you pestering me, Marya Ivanovna? I won’t work anyway!
