Markus narrates:

I was looking at the sky, thoughtlessly, and the sky was all taking color again just before the sun rise. I found myself sitting on a beautiful wooden bench slightly moist due to the dew, later I observed that it was slight cold out here, but it was not chilling just cold.

Author narrates:

You can see Markus sitting on a bench from behind ,with a worker cap, and a woolen coat .Look at  his grey hairs coming out of the cap around the ears, it is not like he was hiding it.he also carries a wooden stick ,not because he needs it or for fashion,he just wanted to try the image of a grown old man in his early sixties.

Soon he recollects himself from the view towards the people in the park,old folks trying to get themselves in a fit body they once owned and they drank and smoked until it was wrenched,some of them were just tuning up their healthy old body, proud of their health,they usually formed a group .

He said “ I have no idea young man. what do you think they are talking about?”

Boy replied” they are saying to move a little this boy wants to sit on the bench too.”
