After finishing with the cream, I handed over the tube to Christine. She, with mischief looking first at Viktor Ivanovich, and then at Yuri, gave the tube to them and raised her hands up. As if surrendered to them in captivity. The men exchanged glances and set about smearing. Within a minute, their trunks tensed in her direction. And "surrendered to the mercy of the winners" Christine, looking at it, just laughed, quite pleased with the impression made. It is not known what all this scene would have ended with, but a young couple with just hats passed by us. They wished us good morning, and the girl even applauded Christine with a sly smile.

Nevertheless, the intimate atmosphere was somewhat broken by the appearance of outsiders and we moved to the second lagoon.

- The second and third lagoon is not the territory of the reserve. Therefore, here the Cossack guards do not have the right to bother tourists and the majority of the people stop with tents on the second and third. On the second lagoon, more people settle down, because they are closer to the waterfall to walk after the change of guards ends in the evening, ”said Yuri.

- And the first and fourth lagoon? - I asked?

- The distant part of the fourth lagoon and after it to Small Utrish is the territory of the reserve. And the part of the first lagoon nearest to the settlement, including the “Pearl” waterfall, is a nature reserve. There, the guard already has the right to drive tourists and even to fine them if they start arguing. But before the conflicts here, as a rule, it does not reach. Utrish is a territory of tolerance. Even the removal of the second and third lagoon from the boundaries of the reserve is a reasonable compromise between environmentalists and tourists.

- Will we be law-abiding or what? Where are we going now?

- I would suggest to go swimming in the bay behind the fourth lagoon. It stretches from Cape Hedgehog to Cape Small Utrish. The beach of the bay is not included in the security zone - the reserve’s boundary runs behind the beach in the mountains. In general, the purpose of the reserve is primarily to protect the local flora. And on the rocky beach of the bay there is no vegetation.

- Merry capes here: Crocodile, Hedgehog.

- This cape really looks like a hedgehog, if you look from the direction of the village. Only this hedgehog instead of needles trees. We prefer to swim in the bay because there is a large stretch of tiny pebbles there. On the lagoons it's great to be on the shore, but there are very few convenient entrances to the sea with more or less shallow pebbles. There are mostly very large cobblestones and rock fragments on the coast. Barefoot is not particularly like. So I suggest to go to the bay on the smallest pebble. And in the evening and night, if someone wants to stay, move to the third or fourth lagoon.

The third lagoon was the most picturesque due to the fact that there was a shallow lake in the middle of which a heron stood on one leg. Irina said that you can go very close to this heron and almost touch it. Because this heron is not afraid of people here at all. Moreover, the local inhabitants feed up the heron.

At the end of the third lagoon, Irina saw her acquaintances and asked them if there was a fire planned by chance today. But we were told that the fire was only yesterday. And the next fire will not be very soon, because now on the near shore all the dry wood brought by the waves has already been chosen and it is unlikely to appear before the new storm. Turning to us, Irina said that then we should not spend the night in Utrish, of course.

Through the Cape of the Hedgehog, we did not go, and passed the way to the bay through a wooded gorge in the depths of the fourth lagoon. In the whole gulf we were alone, as if cut off from the rest of the world. The feeling of pebbles really was not at all those of the sand in our campsite.

- It is very useful to walk barefoot on such tiny pebbles. A good study of acupuncture points on the foot with harmonization and restoration of the correct movement of vital energy "qi". Qi is the breath of nature itself, the source of the strength of everything that exists. For me, this bay is a return to childhood. The first time my mother brought me here when I was five years old, - said Irina, - and here I seem to rejuvenate while bathing. Here, as if the body itself remembers itself quite young.

- And this is one of your secrets of youth? - I asked, going into the water after Irina.

- For mental and physical health it is very important to occasionally visit those places where you felt the fullness of life. And sincerely communicate with those people together with whom you feel the harmony of life. Sincerity clears the relationship.

Irina looked into my eyes and said:

- I want to fondle with you.

I confess, completely confused:

- Right here and now?

- Not necessarily now and not necessarily here. I just told you about my desire. Sorry if it does not coincide with your desire.

“It just seemed to me that you and Vika were more passionate about Christina’s seduction.”

- First of all, Vika and I agreed a long time ago not to compete with each other in anything seriously. And secondly, Christina herself who you want to seduce. In my opinion, the initiative is right on its side. Look, as she took our peasants into circulation.

Christina, Yuri and Viktor Ivanovich floated together a little distance away, sometimes splashing each other with laughter. And Vika was still on the shore. Catching my view of Vika, Irina said:

- I think that Vika, as a true psychologist, decided to observe the situation from the outside. And in truth, I wonder if Christina will make a mistake or not.

“What mistake?”

- Apparently, Christina is a very resolute girl. She needs all or nothing. And such people too often do not feel the nuances and when you need to stop in time, so as not to overreact. If she somehow goes beyond the tact of dealing with any of the four of us, then there will be no interesting developments for her.

- What are you - basically ready to include it in your swing?

- Only if she does not make a mistake today ...
