WALK.

We wandered through the forest until a thunderstorm caught us. To avoid getting wet, we took refuge in a hut. Until the storm subsided, we did not stick our heads out of our shelter. When we left, the drops were no longer falling, but the sky had not yet cleared. Distant thunderclaps have not yet ceased.

I haven't breathed such clean air for a long time! I haven’t seen such a beautiful play of light on wet leaves for a long time! There was no more thunder.

But I didn't fall asleep. Sleep did not come to me. I suddenly remembered that the refrigerator didn’t work either. I hate getting out of bed at night! But I couldn’t leave the meat in the freezer to the mercy of fate. I didn’t find the slippers under the bed because I didn’t see them in the dark. He came to the kitchen and took out the meat. To prevent it from going rotten, you need to put it on the balcony.

When Misha finished playing at one in the morning, he was very unwell. My head hurt. Mishka did not have dinner. He also didn’t wash his face or brush his teeth, but went straight to bed.

The next morning Misha did not wake up from the ringing of the alarm clock. If his mother had not woken him up, he would have slept until ten. Misha didn’t have time to have a proper breakfast and was almost late for school.

IN ALTAI. ( Continuation.)

The next day, in the early morning, we rolled up our tents. We have a difficult but interesting journey ahead of us. The journey will be long. Our small detachment will go along the river. A narrow river valley will lead us to a mountain village. There we will board a passenger helicopter and return to Barnaul. But this will happen in a few days.
