      Once upon a time,far far away,there was an island. That island was empty - isolated from everyone's eyes and in that island there was a man with wild,friendly animals. The man's name was Zima and he's a lone poet,who was sent to that island by Siberia as part of his sentence. Of course that sentence was out of his will,but he later did not regret that to happen. There,he met a lot of animals,who liked to listen to his poems,but the biggest fan of his artwork was a small chickadee with small ushanka hat. This chickadee is more expensive than Zima himself,which was the reason for it to be around him almost everyday. It can perfectly express Zima's true emotions and feelings that easily,that anyone would believe that this chickadee was a real Zima and "human" Zima being a puppet of that chickadee. Of course that's not true - Zima simply forgot how it feels like to express emotions and feelings once again since he set a foot to Siberia while he was shackled and handcuffed by bad people. Because of that kind of life,he had not only learned how to talk to animals,but he also started to have difficulties with socialising. Not only he had these difficulties,he's also having a hard time speaking: whenever he tries to speak English,he starts to sound like he was about to cry. Even though the reason of that is lack of knowledge of this language,he does have to struggle just to talk in any language - even in his native one. Why? Well...The rules of prisoning made him have difficulties of talking loudly and normally like it was a big trauma,which made him talk only quietly. The only way he survives is searching for food without killing animals and sleep with open eyes. Sounds like he has a hard life surviving in his island by himself,right? Well,it's true,until one day he suddenly passed out due hunger and his awake from it changed his entire life forever...
