Жизнь маленького города

The story of a small town in the south is important for everyone that hears it. On a warm morning with this old map you can be happy, as all roads are open. People have lived here at the river for many years, and life here is simple.

By seven o’clock the bakery is already full, but no one hurries. Bread comes from a local farm, tea or coffee waits on every table. An old man tells his neighbour about the weather, while children run up and down the street. They laugh and look out for their dog, which runs somewhere there between the houses.

Time moves slowly here, and a new day brings them simple joy. Now the sun stands high over the roofs. These streets remember other days and other people. Its only public clock shows noon, and the first bus stops near us because the driver knows us well. The way to the station goes through the market, where sellers call out: fresh fruit is here.

Work in the town is calm and honest. Years ago a factory made furniture here, but now it is closed. Still, those working hands did not disappear. Men and women are making bread, teaching children, repairing houses together. While one part of the town sleeps, the other part is working. Both young and old have the same respect for labour, and every family has its own craft.

A long street runs around the hill, and since morning people walk along it. Another road leads under the bridge to a quiet place by the water. Each visitor finds something without hurry: the end of the path opens a view of the valley. House number ten stands at the top, and from its windows the whole country seems open.

Today the town prepares a holiday for all the states. Guests from an american sister city arrive, and united choirs sing on the square. The main point of the festival is friendship and peace, not money or power. Others bring music, given freely from the heart. The past meets the current day here: either you dance or you sing, but no one stays aside.

Although the programme is short, every moment feels major and bright. Instead of long speeches, children start running races, and the mayor takes a leading position at the start. He has added a prize for the winner, and the key rule is simple: be kind. The team that led from the start wins, and people ask whose idea it was. It was the previous teacher’s plan, set out a year ago. The blank in the old programme looks like _, and children fill it with smiles.
