He took a foot in his hands and kissed his fingers. Then he nodded to his mother, let go of his leg, and stood up.
- Now it's your turn.
Green approached the chair of the mother, the heart jumped out of the chest with excitement. Everything was so solemn, albeit in a narrow circle. He did everything exactly like his father, after which his mother stroked his head and kissed his cheek. The mother’s legs were without taste and smell, apparently she washed them before this ceremony.
- Now you are a young man, our protector! - She said, smiling.
- All the boys bow to the mothers at 15, this tradition of our country. But in later life only for certain achievements you will be honored to bow before a woman. The higher the status of the ladies - the more honorable to kiss her foot. You yourself can ask the ladies for permission to bow before her. This is done silently, as shown by my father and how you did it yourself. If the lady filed a leg, you should kneel down and kiss her. The lady herself shows a foot gesture, where it is necessary to kiss. If she lowers her fingers down, as I did - you kiss your fingers from above, if you pull them towards yourself - you kiss your fingers from below, if you don't make movements with your fingers - you kiss your foot. Honorable just kiss the fingers from the bottom, but I did not give you that opportunity. This is not accepted when the son is worshiped before the mother.
“If a lady pulls her foot toward herself, or gives her, turning her back, you kiss your heel, this is less honorable than fingers or lifting a foot.” And the lady can shake her shoe and bring it to her lips in a certain place. In this case, she considers you worthy to kiss only a shoe, you kiss her in the place with which she brought her to her lips, even if it turns out to be a sole. But worst of all, when a lady refuses you to honor her. In this case, it shows this by moving your hand or foot to the side. So you have to get up, stand back, apologize to her, bow and leave.
- Another nuance: if the status of a lady is much higher than yours, you should not stand on your knees while kissing, but fall to the floor or to the ground with your whole body at her feet. If you do not guess this and just drop on your knees, she can tell you by pushing a foot on the head, or simply pointing a finger down. In general, in society it is accepted that men rarely ask permission to bow down in order not to stumble upon a refusal. The lady herself gives him such an opportunity if she considers it worthy, and a man needs to strive for it.
- The fact that the lady will allow you to bow before her at the prom in the school, if there is one at all, will play an even bigger role in your life and career than the marks in the certificate. After all, a self-respecting woman of high status will never allow a mediocre personality to even kiss a shoe!
Green absorbed what he heard as a sponge, he was proud to be a young man. And from day to day there will be major boxing competitions, in the event of a victory in which he will receive a master of sports and will be able to publicly bow down before Aunt Irma. In the evening, at a big banquet, he reminded her of persuasion, but she asked to wait until the competition, for which you need to be prepared fully armed.

The main ring of a large sports palace in Kraynspol. The last day of junior boxing competitions for children and youth. The final fight in the fourth weight class.
- Green Scott and Brandon Dip are invited to the ring!
Green went into the hall and went to the ring, accompanied by his coaches and assistant. He won all previous fights and reached the final. The fights were not easy, he got cool, but Green survived and won. Due to the fact that the boy was still engaged in weightlifting and bodybuilding - his weight was more than average in such height, he fell into a higher weight category, where it was more difficult.There were a lot of people in the hall, as well as his entire family. He saw Aunt Irma. She was not in a tracksuit for the first time. She was wearing a short striped dress in a tight fitting shape, a few beautiful diamond jewelery Green hadn’t seen before. The legs were in light dark sandals, allowing plenty to admire her feet. Dark skin against the background of all this splendor attracted rapt glances of men nearby.
Green was delighted with the anticipation that Irma had promised him. But in order to get his aunt, you need to win. So you should not look at it anymore, but concentrate fully on the fight. And here is the opponent. Brandon was almost two years older and slightly larger than Green; he won previous fights with greater ease than Green, and was considered a favorite in the upcoming fight.
... was the last, ninth round. There were nine of them in the youth box. Both athletes fought fiercely and were already running out. Almost all rounds of Brandon won on points, and if nothing unexpected happens, the victory will be his! Green's face and body ached, his breath caught, he gathered all his will into a fist to continue the fight with dignity.
Brandon understood that victory was on his side, but he wanted to win not by points, but by knockout. After all, he won the previous fights in such a way that much more is appreciated in boxing. Green was running out of danger, and he no longer presented danger, which means that a good series of blows - and the opponent will fall!
Before Green, everything floated, he retreated, Brandon eagerly jumped on him, inflicting sweeping blows. Green managed to dodge through once, every second hit touched his face casually.
Realizing that you can lose consciousness, if you do not stop this, Green bounced back three meters. Brand jumped at him, raising a fist for a knockout strike. Further was for Green as in slow motion movies:
In his thoughts, a case with Brad Dil was carried out at the age of nine, which brought him out of action in a fight with a counterstrike on the counterjump. I remembered the beautiful Anna, who had punished Brad then. The thought of Anna gave Green an unprecedented confidence, he concentrated all his strength, all the love and hate, and put them in a decisive blow. Diving under Brandon's fist, Green rushed forward and slammed his most powerful lower hook into the rival's jaw.
From the addition of the speeds of flying towards the fist and head, the effect was such that Brandon immediately “turned off the light” before his eyes. The head flew back, and behind it the whole body, even the legs off the floor! Brandon fell back, Green was also on the floor, his legs did not hold him due to severe exhaustion.
- One two Three…
On the “three” score, Green rose to his feet and stood upright. My head was spinning, everything was swimming before my eyes.
Brandon's body showed no signs of life, the referee did not count to ten and stopped the fight. Only the arrival of the doctor in the ring and his qualified assistance allowed the defeated opponent to wake up, stand up and approach the judge for the official announcement of the result. Knockout!
Hooray! Green is a winner! He is now a master of sports at 15! The boy jumped for joy, fatigue and pain went away somewhere. The whole huge hall applauded. Parents and sister rushed to the ring, his father picked him up and started tossing him up, his pride overwhelmed him! Where is Aunt Irma? Here she is! Hooray! Green went crazy with joy, here it is - happiness!
Another couple of final fights in other weight categories was held, the competitions were closed. The official ceremony of official summing up and awarding of sports titles was scheduled for the evening.
There were no empty seats in the huge assembly hall of the sports palace of Krainspol. Athletes changed their form to strict suits, a solemn ceremony was coming. The role of moderator was performed by the chairman of the country's boxing federation, he read the names and handed over certificates and awards.
- For the victory in the fourth weight category, a resident of Barov Green Scott is awarded with a gold medal! He was awarded the title of master of sports in boxing!
Green walked toward the podium with a proud gait. He received his award and certificate of awarding sports titles. Hall applauded. But the boy with trepidation waited for the other: where is Aunt Irma? She must give him the opportunity ... Read more →
