In early December, after working with my colleague, we decided to take a stroll through the winter park. We are both great lovers of nature with her. For such as we, bad weather does not exist. And on this day, the weather just pleased with the walk: windless, minus five. What else is needed for happiness ?! The trees are covered with snow. The park is old, the feeling is that you are in an old, kind fairy tale from a distant childhood. A fairy atmosphere is complemented by flashlights.
In the old park is a little crowded, only sometimes you meet passers-by walking-loving couples, ladies with wheelchairs, grandmothers with grandchildren.

So we walk with her like a child in turn. It's good that at least in everyday life it is not whimsical and does not particularly mischievous ... "
We would also have talked with a woman, especially since we did not hurry. At the end of the day, not all the time in the middle zone of Russia, women with monkeys stroll. But suddenly a phone call made the accompanying monkey quickly say goodbye to us and go to the exit from the park.
"Yes, this crisis," my colleague told me, even give away the animals in the apartments. "
"Aha!" - I agreed with her briefly.
We continued our walk. But nothing more interesting, we never met, because the lady with the monkey was not surpassed ...
