Reading this story gave considerable pleasure, left a pleasant trace in my memory. And, of course, prompted thoughts ...
hmm hmm. Definitely, it will be among the favorite works. Good old NF!
Real.
Thanks Draco!

I agree with DraWay and Seliat - the work is really one of the best, if not the best. Gave a lot of positive emotions. This is the life ideal. Unattainable? Undoubtedly. But life, it seems to me, is the process of striving for the ideal. The task of art is to show us what we need to strive for, and not reality - often cruel and ruthless. Probably, because of this, a person created art and religion, as part of it (comrade believers, believe me, I don’t want to offend you). A person is subconsciously given an understanding of how life should be arranged. And he strives to put his understanding into practice. And art is an illustration of this understanding of understanding.
