A herd of cows mooing it met friendly. Dima conducted animal eyes.
– Come quickly to me! – Miguel shouted at him! – And then the cows wander off without you!
It was thin and long and muscular boy with long arms. He was holding a whip with rawhide and deftly slapped them in the air. After seeing Miguel envious eyes, Dima returned to the yard and went into the house. We had to bring myself up, brush my teeth wash. After water treatment, he went to the kitchen and breakfast, pre- heated in a microwave oven is hot. Then he ran out into the yard. Above it, on the house and garden, green garden blue, blue sky. The wooden hallway near the ceiling, a swallow’s nest.
Swallows darting about in the sky, one by one, shouting fly into the corridor and from there distributed peeps chicks. The boy goes to the strawberries. Red berries flavorful and delicious. Aunt Elsa silently thanked for the fact that she insisted that my mother broke the beds, and planted some kind of greens and strawberries. He rips juicy fruit, and sweet melting in the mouth, they fill the aroma of breath, refreshing juicy flesh and a sweetness in this hot morning. The sun rises higher and higher, bakes in the head. With a basket of potatoes passed by Teresa. Dima saw and immediately appealed to him:
– I’d take yes for lumped compote! – Cocky she grumbled! – I’m a little currants, cherries and collected. That will compote.
Listen, Teresa, what do you need a whole basket of potatoes and more!
She pulled out of the basket, a cloth that was lying on the potatoes. And shook the rag in the air, which turned red berries:
– None of your business! – Muttered in response to the boy moved farther down the road.
Dima has not listened to, he hurried into the shadow of a spreading apple trees. Found a pair of juicy apples, wiped them on his pants and began to eat with gusto.
The second half of the day. The afternoon heat. The sun, as disgruntled burning voraciously. «You have to go to the river,» – thought Dime…
Chapter 5
There was a wedding. Teresa’s cousin, Mary, married. They called all the relatives and neighbors. At the wedding was twelve and Dima. Musicians, consisting of an accordionist, a drummer and a flute player, playing endless Chilean polka. The musicians were all dressed up in a huge Mexican hats and colorful, poncho thrown over their shoulders. Tables were set on the courtyard and relatives ran into the house and out of the house, over the strong Chilean moonshine, over the food. At the site, guests had fun, danced and rocked in a wide linen blanket girl. Four men held firm linen blankets on the ends. Others, drunken, girls caught and thrown into the painting. It was a shriek and din. Bayan under rampant whistle flute and drum rattling deduced polka, the key word fun beater. On the threshold that led into the hallway at home, appeared and disappeared boyfriend tied with colorful ribbons with the regular portion of booze.
Dima with Miguel ate delicious pasties with poppy seeds and honey and happy. Then he started a game of catch- up, and when Dima ran for Miguel, his eye fell on the saddle, standing there in a white jumpsuit, fully shrouded, alien and lured him to his gestures. Boy surprise stopped dead. Miguel teasing friend said:
– What, you cannot catch up? Ha- ha- ha!
– Miguel, look, he is «ghost» out there!
He looked in the direction of a stopped Dima:
– Yes, there’s nothing there.
The stranger was still standing on the thresholds, implying Dime that await him.
«Come to us. We arrived as promised, thank you!» – Mentally flowed information. «Can you meet us mentally.»
Dima dumbfounded said in his mind:
«I will not go alone!» – The fear crept into his shirt, was afraid to go alone.
«We have only to thank you!» – Replied the stranger, then paused and said:
«Wait a minute, I’m now»! – Went to the house.

«No, just you. Fear not, we’ll not do anything wrong. Price to pay, so we have come to thank you.»
«How can I go?»
«Come and play with Miguel in the game of» Freeze!»
– Miguel! – Said Dima. – Let’s play «Freeze».
– Come on. Only you yell «Freeze!»
Dima looked at the nut, there was a stranger in anticipation:
– Freeze! – Garinov boy shouted.
In an instant, everything stopped and stood still. There was a ringing silence. The leaves on the trees have stopped making noise, the wind ceased. The guests were in their seats. A girl taking off on a poncho, froze in the air and hung in the air over the web. Dima went. His attention was attracted by a boyfriend frozen in the doorway at the threshold of the porch. Followed by a warning:
«Caution, not to touch the tape, she’s sharp as a razor, you can cut yourself.»
Dima carefully, trying not to hurt frozen other out, pushed his way between the doorway:
«Can I touch it by the hand?»
«You can only slowly.» – Answered the stranger.
Dima touched the stiff body and walked into the room. The room was empty, except for one more stranger taller:

Followed by the command to start and do not waste time. Dima scanned the room. Stood by the window shop, brightly painted in red, shining in the rays of a bright light bulb, color. The table also painted as the other bench, leaning against him.
«Sit down at the table! – Heard it’s an order! – Not here, just move over to the right.»
The boy moved:
«Now put your hands on the table as a school desk.»
Dima put his hands like in the classroom, on the desk.
«You want to see a movie?»! – Heard the new proposal aliens.
«I want!» – Answered.
«Now the light will slowly fade and we will show you a movie. Look.»
The stranger in white, the one that was lower growth, pressed the switch. The light bulb in the room slowly began to fade. At the site of sinking into the darkness of subjects appeared dark blue color chair in which suddenly found itself Dima. Elbows boy found ourselves on a narrow and short table. Between this table and the wall was built with a sloping trough slope to the drain opening. «It seems to drain.»? Conjecture flashed, soapy.
