Sooner or later, this happens to everyone: a push, a loss of balance, an instant of free flight and a meeting with the ground. The fall is familiar to everyone who rides a horse, and in our history is no exception.
After Lukiia was a child, she fell...
"Where do we go first?" - asked Chutaro cheerfully.
"I think... let's take a walk through the woods" - my words sounded intermittent, but clear enough to be understood.
"Yeah, then we come here" - jumping up at every step, Chutaro turned onto a barely noticeable path. I had no choice but to follow him.
I walked slowly along the path, barely perceptibly smiling and leaning a little on the umbrella-cane while walking. We walked through the forest for no more than an hour.
"How many do you have brothers?" - I asked, noticing Chutaro, who at some distance from me was looking at something on the ground.
"Two older brothers, and also a brother Shiro" - said Chutaro, holding an unfamiliar animal in his hands. Is this a raccoon dog?

"It's Gerokichi!" - to which the animal made a sound like "Pugyu" - "he loves my family very much, but does not tolerate other people"
"Luki, it's late, we'd better go home, and the boy's brothers will be worried"
I looked at my watch - Day was approaching evening.
"Listen, where do you live? It's getting late ... I would walk you home"
