The man tossed between Scylla and Charybdis. He didn't know what to do. Despair swept over him in a bitter wave. Where am I the old one? Am I more than what happened to me? Meanwhile, it is in this gap, in the strait between these two sea monsters, that there is a place for hope. Only he didn't know about it yet.

The fragile boat got into a turbulence, walked from side to side, dived with its bow. The current threatened to smash his boat to pieces on the coastal reefs. It was necessary to somehow maintain balance. He tied himself to the bottom of the boat and calmed down for a while. “But you can't be saved from monsters and from a crash!” - our hero suddenly thought. What should I do?

And then he saw a load secured to the base of a single mast. It was a gift to my son - a kite and a surfboard. "This is my salvation!" - lightning flashed through my head. Taking out a knife and cutting off the bonds, the man crawled on his bellies to the mast and released the gift.

The waves were already engulfing the small ship, trying to sink it. And Scylla and Charybdis, shaking their necks, took turns opening their mouths, trying to take possession of their prey.

Without wasting time, the man got up on the surf and took the kite bar in his hands, trying to catch the wind he needed. When he succeeded, the lift pulled him to the stern, and then threw him into the abyss. It was then that the few lessons that his son gave him, explaining the technique of using a kite, came in handy. Spinning his hull in the air and holding the bar firmly in his hands, he glided on the board in the stormy sea.

Scylla and Charybdis rushed after him. Dexterously maneuvering, making jumps and somersaults, breaking away from the surface of the water, he escaped the pursuit. Changing tack, going right, then left, he swept along the coast in search of a convenient harbor. Finally he saw her - covered with a light haze, the harbor opened behind a large cliff.

On the black volcanic sand of the beach, he noticed a lone figure. I wonder who it could be? Exhausted, but happy, our hero walked on the water, dragging all his belongings with him. "Dad!" an excited cry came to him. Looking closely, recognizing, he shouted back: "Sonny, dear!". And fell to the shore.

When he came to, he saw that he was lying on a large white bed, next to him on the bedside table was tea in a glass framed by a silver cup holder. The son was sitting at a round table and looking at some maps, outlining with a simple pencil future spots for skiing. Noticing that his father was looking at him, he asked: "And this - you were taking me?" and nodded towards the equipment lying in the corner. “For you, dear, but who else? Sorry to unpack it ahead of time."
