The sun is shining bright in the clouds of Cherniv. The city was passing by and after the winter, the sun has turned red, the flowers of the first flowers. Oksana, Yaroslav and Dmitrov went out of the tent.

After a while, they were waiting for a full-fledged warm and new opening day. The village, like a garden, said Oksana, laughing at Yaroslav. They came to their parents' house, so that they could sit in the middle of the day with their friends and grandparents. This was a special day for the family. Yaroslav tried to get into the tradition of his old age. He laughed, but he felt a little shy. I helped my parents to show them that I was going to their house, thinking about him. Dmitrov, the youngest in their company, appeared in the village of Koshnogokuta. He was in the middle of a forest, where everyone used to come. They went to Babus' house. Love and joy accompanied the atmosphere.

Babus is already waiting for the prepared traditional herbs. All the forces reached and began to share stories. After Oksana's visit, she decided to organize a walk to the Yeletsk district.

Kulia, who was a master's confectioner, Dmitrov, was buried in the village of Kola. Even he was surprised. Oksana was worried about him when he was young. Pani was raised in the middle of the day. Yaroslav, who was not worried, took the situation under control. He organized a walk and calmed down in the garden. This is the moment to try for him.

Dmitrov, who was in all the old walls of the village of Kola, was buried in the village of Pahorba. I said to him, he would not do anything. All the best things he could have done to him was that everything was going well. This adventure was close to the end of his life. Oksana understood how to combine the old traditions with the new paths of life. Yaroslav served as a hero of Dmitrov's family, Dmitrov's daughter. He was brought to the house of the other people, with his family's joy and understanding that his head was lower, and that it was the family's unity and unity. The black man remembered the name of the city as a great story, and the city where their hearts were close.
