Waking after a few hours of oblivion, the boy was surprised to see that he was still alive, and also noticed garages, rotting among the leaning trees, close to the place of the accident... Hoping he went there and found a «Zaporozhets» car. This is not a «Gazel» of course, thought the boy, but in any case it's better than nothing, and began to mess about in the ignition of the car.
