after 18, you moved to the city because of your studies and didn't visit your parents' ranch very often, where you spent your entire childhood. Today was marked on the calendar with a red marker and the caption "visiting parents".

The early roosters just started crowing on the farm — you could hear it when you opened the gate. Your parents greeted you warmly at home, and a large guard dog was jumping around happily. After a simple lunch, you went into the forest to pick some berries and, having successfully filled a small basket, you approached the river. As you washed the berries, you heard the clatter of horses behind you: a horse stopped next to you with a rider who got off so that the horse could drink from the river. You both were awkwardly silent for a few seconds, and then the man spoke, taking out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
