SISTERS

Ooh. A sailor named Aigul sat on the shore and looked into the water. He had just escaped from a sinking cruiser, and he did not know where the others were. Aigul wrung out the sailor, poured water from his boots, and lay flat on the ground. Judging by the sun, the time was even less than noon.

Aygul exhaled. When you look death in the face, everything else seems so insignificant! Now he thought only of Natasha. She was waiting for him in Siberia. In Khanty-Mansiysk.

And he, here on the shores of the Black Sea, apparently … got stuck.

Aigul turned over on his stomach and fell face down in the cool wet grass. It's good … to live! Just in the world.

Just live! An hour ago, he could have died and would never have seen this sky, sunlight, and this grass again.

Suddenly, someone tickled his heel.

Aigul looked around and saw a little girl standing (or sitting?) Waist-deep in water. She gently tickled his swollen heels and giggled.

Hey! Where are you from here?
