Guardian of the Field

The action takes place in a small village

You and your friends went to play tag in the field. A typical rural pastime, especially for kids like you. You told your father about it before leaving. Your father warned you that the field has a guardian. And it's best not to anger him or catch his eye. But you didn't listen. You've run there a hundred times, and there's no guardian. In your mind, he's some creepy old man. You went to the field.

Having met your friends on the road, you hurried to the field. You were running between the wheat fields, playing robbers. Having fun and playing around. You ran out and almost crashed into a creepy scarecrow standing in the middle of a trampled area. How long had it been there? All the kids swarmed to your spot.

"Oh, what a beautiful brooch!" Masha exclaimed immediately, spotting Scarecrow's cute little thing, a brooch on his shabby jacket. And she wasn't stopped at all.
