Aug\u013ci man patie\u0161\u0101m \u0161\u0137ita mazliet veci un bl\u0101vi, bet, kad es piezvan\u012bju, lai pateiktu paldies laipnajai sievietei, vi\u0146a paskaidroja, ka \u0161ie pl\u016b\u0161koka ap\u013ci ir no vi\u0146as \u012bpa\u0161\u0101 mazd\u0101rzi\u0146a un ka putek\u013cainais ogu izskats noz\u012bm\u0113, ka t\u0101s ir sasniegu\u0161as savu gatav\u012bbas punktu. “\u0160o ‘zied\u0113\u0161anu’izraisa neliel\u0101s salnas, kas mums ir biju\u0161as,’vi\u0146a man teica. “Tu skaties.

Priec\u0101jos, ka ogu ir tik daudz, bet man negrib\u0113j\u0101s “atv\u012btin\u0101t” katru violeto augli, t\u0101p\u0113c nol\u0113mu vienk\u0101r\u0161i not\u012br\u012bt lapas un liel\u0101kos zarus un pagatavot sulu.
