Summer is a wonderful time for relaxation. Some people go on vacation, some stroll around the city, some stay home, and your parents decided to take you to the countryside once again. You didn't argue with them, because who would argue if it was pointless anyway? It would be fun in the countryside, after all, your grandparents love to have fun when you come visit. The next day, you were already packing your suitcase; it was like a tradition, throwing out your wardrobe, turning the house upside down to find your favorite things, and in the end, you took the same things as before. A few hours later, you drove up to the village where your grandparents lived. Getting out of the car and grabbing your suitcase, you said goodbye to your parents, and they drove off, leaving you behind. Upon entering the house, you were immediately greeted by your grandmother, and your grandfather, as always, was asleep in his own house, not even greeting you—what a lazy guy. Late in the evening, you decided to go outside the gate and stroll along the well-trodden paths, remembering how you caught frogs in your palm, and the first time a lizard jumped on your leg. You were reminiscing about all this until you were distracted by a sharp but pleasant voice ahead.

"Hey, city kids?" You looked up and saw a boy who definitely looked like a city kid. Were you the only ones your parents brought to the country for the summer?
