Песчаная горячка
"- Знаешь, - сказал Боб, - я сейчас бы выпил томатного сока... - он перевернулся на другой бок и с отвращением выплюнул окурок. - Когда от сигарет болит язык, лучше всего выпить томатного сока.
- Когда у тебя что-нибудь болит, надо пить коньяк, - говоривший был велик ростом и тощ. Звали его Виконт. - Можно водку. Годятся и ликеры. Не возбраняется вино, в котором, как известно, истина. Но лучше всего - спирт...
- Ты забыл пиво. Ты болван, - сказал Боб, - я бы выпил сейчас пива...
В палатке было жарко и темно. На полу валялись спальные мешки, множество окурков, винтовка, стреляные гильзы и пара сапог. В низкую треугольную дверь палатки виднелись красноватые сумрачные барханы и обложенное тяжелыми туч

It was a short story based on the previous novel from Strugatsky brothers I've read "The Land of Crimson Clouds".
Not that impressive, too short to show their different perspective on science fiction of that time.
