Part Two

One day, at the end of September, erstwhile the leaves began to fall, a herd of tiny birds flew to the lake. Above them flew herds of chaotic geese from far north to the warm south, and I heard their loud goose. The chaotic geese on my lake looked up and answered; they immediately began to form a series on the lake. Their parent was showing the way, moving faster. Then she thickened up and issued voices. “The goose, the goose!” they screamed, and then fled to connect with the another geese in the confederate sky. “The tongue, the goose!” - they sounded erstwhile they were flying. But what is it? parent wasn't in line. She was inactive snorting on the surface of the lake. Loud: “Come, come! Come at last!" - was the answer given by the parent and father - “Turn back!

But again, for any unusual reason, parent and Father were not there due to the fact that they remained behind on the lake. Again they heard the call to return - "Turn back, turn back!" And the flock obediently turned back and splattered over the lake pan again. Not erstwhile but 20 times I saw them forming ranks and ascending; each time they returned to their mother's call. The bond of love and work was stronger than the yearly habit. The most crucial law was obedience. After a while, the herd settled to spend the winter on the lake. They made many long and long flights, but their sense of work to the older goose was stronger and brought them back. So the winter has passed...
