SALAMAJÄRVI 3: SIBERIAN JAYS AND PENGUINS
”The people in the neighboring hut are way too loud.” ”Yeah. The wall isn’t that thick.” //
”Which of the following is not a prime number: 419, 615 or 827?” //
”I wouldn’t necessarily want to listen to their quiz all nigh long.” ”Me neither.” //
”Besides, the answer is obviously 615!”
”On last year’s winter trip the temperature was around minus 30 degrees Celsius. Now it was only about minus ten.” //
”And I have now learned the most important difference between the two.” //
In -30 C going to the outdoor toilet is just plain terrible. //
”I’m freezing!” //
”I’m freezing!” //
”I’m freezing!” //
”In minus ten degrees going to the toilet is tolerable.” //
”Like — I’m not sitting here for the fun of it but it’s not that bad.”
”I often take my woolen cape along on hiking trips. It’s very useful.” //
You can wear it indoors or when going to the toilet. //
You can also wear it as a skirt. //
When sleeping, you can use it as a blanket… //
…a pillow… //
…as well as a bed sheet. //
You can use the cape to protect your hands from hot pots and heater lids. //
Inside a proper cape you can fit a friend, too.
”The taxi will be here in half an hour. Let’s get going.” ”We have less than a kilometer to walk.” //
”Yes, but it’s better to leave on time.” //
”Hey! Was that a Siberian jay?!” ”?” //
”Where?” ”Over there?” ”Can anyone see it?” //
”It went that way!” ”Could we see it again?” //
”…and this is why we leave on time.”
Waiting for a taxi on a national park parking lot: ”I’m a bit cold.” ”Shall we play the penguin game?” //
”HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A PENGUIN?!?” //
Waiting for a bus at the bus stop of a small town: ”I’m a bit cold.” ”Shall we play the penguin game?” //
”Have you ever seen a penguin?”
Loppu // The end
