7 7 In noisy children’s games ... In noisy children’s games, suddenly there’s captivating silence. Like a book that is read by everyone, a ski-slope appeared underfoot. And, led along a steep mountain in a spiteful snowstorm escort, captivated by the Saami biathlon, the grandchild joins the grandfather. It’s difficult in January to steer the skis before daylight. Through forest, swamp, or mountain, as if in pursuit o f the day. The night lingers without sunrise, it does not fall behind, it stalls. The wind rages wildly, it threatens with cold force. After going around and checking all the traps, it’s possible to return and go back, your legs tire from walking. Then why am I so glad? I’m glad our path is not that far to our hut on the shore. Grandfather, deliberately unhurried, kindled the smoky campfire. Our hundred-year-old lodge soon hit with warmth. Dinner, and conversation after, it’s not at all important what about. Maybe about the animal tracks, which I have seen several times, maybe about old folk tales, Grandfather w ill start up his story!
