A priori sorry for the awkwardness!... :)) - part II

The next day it was raining. The skies were as black as pitch and the rain was streaming down in such torrents that they have rarely been seen equalled outside the tropics. Sometimes vivid lightning could be seen in the distance, followed by low rumbles which increased steadily in volume until they merged into a prolonged roll.
However, the rain didn't take too much time. Scarcely an hour had ended when the sun showed itself and warmed everyone. I heard a cuckoo calling; almost the first I had heard this year -- it said: "Cu-ckoo-shka! Cu-ckoo-shka!", and again: "Cu-ckoo-shka!".
I'm not sure what this all really meant, but I hope it was a good sign for me -- that I'll live happily ever after.

Oh yes... and there also were a LOT of cats in this place. I never minded it; I even liked it. Notwithstanding the fact that all these cats were a little bit impudent, I still fed them with large yummy pieces of beef steak, fried fish and chicken every day. But they were everlastingly hungry. Every time one of these cats caught me walking somewhere close by, it was coming came up to me, and giving a look: so serious, so earnest, so uncheerful, as if it seemed to say: "Didn't you bring me some beef steak? Even better, not a steak, but the whole cow!".

Later I still went to the sea again. It was immensely beautiful and full of fish -- to the brim! Also, there were many snakes wriggling across the warm sand... I was hoping all the whole time they were not venomous!!!

The long and short of it is, I enjoyed everything...
