I will tell about what happened to me last summer. My relatives are not rare in the village. There we have a small house with plot of land. Near the village there is a small but fairly deep Creek. My buddies and spend there all free time. Often we catch fish or play in any games.

It was the usual July evening. The weather was quite warm, outside it was getting dark. Above the water flew a lot of midges. My friend and I threw rocks in the river and chatted about something else. Finding a fairly large rock, I threw it in the water. After the cobblestone drowned, from the water began to leave large air bubbles!

We immediately quieted down and began to peer into this place. Suddenly there appeared something black, something moving against the current. We jumped and raced along the Bank of this object.

We started quite close to him. The object stopped abruptly, we stopped. The weather turned bad and the sky was clouded, even from a fairly close distance it was hard to make out what it is. We were afraid to move, I don't know why. Maybe he was afraid to startle, and maybe sheer black something.

When the sky cleared and the sunlight illuminated all around, we could see he had a hairy face. As it turned out, it was a beaver. Before this incident, I only saw them in the book and did not even know that once you meet with him in person. So I was very pleased with this meeting.

After a few moments, the beaver slapped its tail on the water and dived under the water, disappearing from our sight. My friend a few minutes looking at the water, but he never showed up...

After the meeting we went to the river and threw into the water a variety of food, wanting to lure the beaver. But, he didn't show up...

I hope that someday I'll see him again.
