When I came to the station spot on time I saw several men waiting for the train, but there was not Alex amonst them. “Anything could delay him,”- I thinked and decided to wait a bit.
The wind cut me like a knife, and I began to grow irritated.” Who is he that I should wait for him?” But just when I was going to leave Alex appeared ten minutes behind time and start talking something incomprehensible of the watch, which he forgot to wind up.

When we got off the train at a small station, we went to the forest: I went at the head and Alex followed me. He said so there wouldn't be any possibility for me to fall behind. It snowed all night and nobody laid out a ski trail. It was difficult for me to do at the head and I said: “Why don't we swap places? You won‟t have to make so much effort to go ahead, you're supposed to be a good skier.” But Alex didn't want. “He does it out of sheer malice,”- I thought. But when I glanced back few moments later, to my great surprise, I saw him trailing along behind, obviously was absolutely unable to be keep up with me. It was evident that he couldn't ski. I regret that I came with him. The point was not he turned out a bad skier. He was a liar and a boaster. And I couldn‟t digest it.
