That aspen reminds me of my childhood; it grows on the edge of a hole left from a brick shed, and at that time I was sure that this hole and the aspen had a special talisman: I never got bored around them. I didn't realize then that I wasn't bored because I was a child. Well, now I'm an adult, the talisman doesn't work.
