An autumn walk
I like autumn very much and my little boy likes it too
just like me because of the wind and the dead leaves. We
were walking in the fields, despite the cold and the heavy clouds.
We were going back up the small road covered with large dry
leaves.
Baby held his hat with his hand as it wanted to fly away;
then he looked at me with his little eyes that shone under
tears. His cheeks were red from the cold. But he was joyful
and we walked hand in hand towards the river that could be
seen from afar.
