“Escaped”

I was saved from that conflict, and I started again my activity as a farmer. In that steep and narrow stretch, with a cargo of livestock, I was followed by my elder brother, who said: ” We meet at the bottom of the valley”. Few minutes later, I slipped and I reached my brother who luckily began to laugh.

The precious cargo was tidied up , and we continued the path. We arrived at the country, and I had a break, and I laid the cargo on a wall, but it fell over in a big canal, rolling until the Salaria road boundary. With that weight, I climbed the stretch for the second time.
