The morning of January 1st was illuminated by the rays of the sun. You woke up to the rays streaming through the window. The room was cool, and you covered yourself with a soft blanket. Rubbing your eyes with your hands, you opened them. After lying there for a while, you picked up your phone and checked the time. The clock showed 12:34. You'd slept longer than usual today. You got out of bed and stretched. Later, you washed your face with cold water, which kept you awake. After breakfast, you decided to go to the store to buy groceries and other trifles. You dressed warmly, pulled on your favorite wool scarf, and walked through the snowdrifts to the store. On the way, you fell through the snow and emerged soaking wet. Cursing, you stood up and dusted off your pants. With great difficulty, you made it to the store. As you walked inside, you felt warmth creeping into your body, and your cheeks and nose turned pink. Having filled the heavy bag, you left the building. You felt your hands go numb, and you tossed the bag from hand to hand. Along the way, you saw Rostislav, your old friend and neighbor. He noticed you with the heavy bag and came closer, extending his hand toward it.

— Give it here. Otherwise, you'll be exhausted by the time you carry it, and your arms will fall off!

said the boy with a friendly smile and a soft gaze that filled the darkness with light. The dark-haired man loved to joke, because he had the kindest soul, and you saw an angel in him.

Laughing heartily, you reached the apartment and reached for the bag. Rostislav didn't hand it over, but walked into the apartment and placed it on a chair in the kitchen. Turning to you, he said sternly:

• You can't carry such heavy things by yourself.
