This was my first trip with my family.The strong wind that blew at the time of our journey could raise the fallen leaves to the level of the doorknob on the car, the clouds that densely covered the sun, did not let the smallest ray of light through.A family trip to old estates, in such wonderful weather, what could be better?
"You can take a walk while we buy a ticket. " that's say mum, and yes, i gone to walk near the estate.
The walk was in the backyard. It seemed like the old days, when Victorian dresses were worn, went to attended small talk - returned. All this lightness and aesthetics of old places, overwhelms emotions and admiration for beauty, was doesn't bypassed, and the garden with flowers, even if they faded, crumbled due to the season, the atmosphere of an old estate in which lived barons or counts , who had a lot in stock interesting stories will not disappear anywhere even after centuries. There was a fountain there. Few decided to go for a walk, as there was slush and a terrible wind outside. But I noticed a boy of five years old who walked around the fountain and was looking for something. Then I thought "to approach the fountain or not?" Still, I approached and the boy, who was pale as marble, looked at me with frozen cheeks and hands from which gloves were removed, in his gaze I read a request, but what exactly was needed, I didn't understand. Only later, when he noticed that I didn't understand, his lips began to move. Hearing a trembling voice and the usual childish request, and this was a request for a coin that he could throw into the fountain with his desire.With a trembling hand, I immediately took out my wallet in which I could find a couple of kopecks for the boy's request. Stretching out to him five coins, he takes only one and with a heavy breathing in the cold air, says "There should be only one desire. When the first is fulfilled, then I can receive the second." I didn't even notice how my eyes began to water in this situation, because it seemed like a little boy, but so smart.Folding his hands in prayer, he held a coin between his palms and, making a wish, threw it into the fountain and thanked me with a sweet smile. Before I had time to recover, someone tugs at my shoulder and, my body, as if disappearing, dissolving... Heavy eyelids slowly rise. It was just a dream as we drove to the estates.
