"No, not like that!" Natalie Vasilievna stops them. "First you have to put on robes and caps."
In the caramel workshop the students look around.
"Would you like to talk with the workers?" Natalie Vasilievna proposes to the guests.
"Are all of your factories really like this one?" Sally Amster asks suspiciously.
"Not at all; we have even better ones!" laughs Natalia Vasilievna. "I have worked here more than 30 years. And during these years quite a few good candy factories have been built in our country."
The Americans scatter around the workshop. They spend a long time asking the workers about wages, vacation periods, children. Robert Bowers is busy with one thing: he is running from machine to machine to inspect the trade marks.
"Don't worry, all the lathes are ours," Masha tells him.
"Yes, yes," says the professor, who is somewhat taken aback by this.
Now he rushes over to the conveyor belt, and for some reason starts to poke around in the molten mass of caramel.
"Try one of our caramels," says Masha.
The professor takes the double handful of "Snowflake" caramels offered him by the girl and puts them in the pocket of his robe.
In the chocolate workshop. Again talks with the workers. Again Professor Bowers studies the trademarks of the lathes.
"Well, how do you like our chocolate?" Natalia Vasilievna asks the guests.
"Very tasty," says Bowers, chewing on a chocolate bar, "but it is more expensive than ours."
"Actually, I have tried your chocolate, too," Natalia Vasilievna objects with a smile. "It has a different composition and the nutritive value is lower."
