That day we went home to a colleague who was taking care of me to pick up tools for small repairs at my house. He always behaved like a gentleman – he was polite and caring, just a wonderful boy. I’ve been in agreement for a few days and I think this boy can do whatever he wants with me. While they were with him, he brought a bouquet of huge white roses, covered it with his hood so that it would not freeze. Going to go out. While dressed in the hallway, he bended, put on a shoe, put his foot forward, and said:
Tanyu, tie up the ropes.
I look at him, at his unleashed shoe, at the bouquet I hold with my two hands, and I wonder where I should put it to tie the boy’s ropes. Seeing my confusion, he adds:
You will come, you will stumble and you will fall.
And he points his finger to my cords with whirling ropes, continuing to tie his shoes.
I'm glad that I'm a sloppy - I didn't have time to put off the bouquet and rush to tie the boy's ropes. A good man would be scared. So for a few weeks he didn’t know how inadequate I was.
