Why Yulka's parents forbade her to hang out with me.
As a kid I often went with my mom and her boyfriend to his ostrich farm. It was in Israel, located in the another city but on the highway with his Mercedes, we reached it quite fast.
I told my friend Yulka, who was then 8 years old and two years younger than me about the ostrich farm, but she just replied: “You lie”.
Yulka was my closest friend. I used to go to her house often and her mom would always feed me with sweets.
Yulka's words probably hurt my ego that day and I decided no matter what to prove to her that I was right. I didn't have to wait long for the opportunity...
The next day I received a present from my mom's boyfriend... it was a bike (a pink bike)...but it was still a bike!
I made two sandwiches, took a big bottle of water and waited for Yulka on the way home from school (I myself, didn't attended school often).
“Were going to the ostrich farm” I told her when she approached me.
“ I should inform/tell my mom first! She replied.
“ Some things are just too important to inform moms about them. Come!”
She sat on the frame of my bike and we headed towards the highway. It was around noon.
After we made a second stop and ate our sandwiches, its was finally was clear to me that the farm was a bit farther than what I thought... but there was no way back and when Yulka desperately asked me how far it was, I said “We are almost there”.
I can't say for sure at what time we reached the farm (I didn’t have a cellphone back then) but I remember that it was already possible to find a shade (It was June in Israel, which means that in the best case scenario it was 30 degrees). We were exhausted, thirsty and hungry.
We rested in the shade of the trees at the farm (The farm has very little metal and self-made fences, to make sure that ostriches don't run away... but they still did sometimes...).
Not far from there was a tent in which a guy was selling watermelons. Behind the tent, there were watermelons lying on the ground which he probably couldn’t sell... but good enough for two kids after few hours of riding under the baking sun with not a single cent in our pockets.
We started to choose one but the guy from the tent saw us. He called us with his hoarse voice and gave us a nice watermelon from his tent.
We took the watermelon, sat on the stairs of a bridge which crossed the highway and started to think how we could open this treasure. We tried to bite it and to scratched it but it was not working.
There was a guy crossing the bridge that saw us struggling. He stopped.
