One day Alex said that we go skiing Sunday. “We stick at home too much”, he said, - “why don't we run ten or fifteen kilometres through the forest? It won‟t take us much time, but then we'll be feeling good foe all the week.”
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. I couldn't help talking him who I think he was. Finally I'm not to be treated like this. However we went, but our spirit was damped.
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.
