Father Nikon

the school of the holy cross of boston had come to the holy mountain, an excursion,

the whole campaign is not easy, those of us who have been to America know that

it is a hassle and all these children came to the holy mountain for a pilgrimage, I

was a young hermit then, and one of the good

old men called me a young man wants to talk to you he wants to see you I go out a

young man we sit down and talk and he calls me old man all the my classmates we were

at he told me it was the Holy Cross School in Boston we went to

St. Paul and all my classmates started from St.

Paul pass over the new skete to go to St. Anna to worship

St. Anna but I because i found out that you are here i let them go saint anna

and i came to find you to tell you what happened to

my father what happened i tell your father it was worth it to miss the pilgrimage

to saint anna when will the so gen term from america come again he may never

come again he was deprived of such a pilgrimage

he was deprived of his company so i can find out what happened to father of what happened

to your father I tell him to tell me I have learned that you are a good old man

of Ephraim Arizona that is why I came to tell you that one day my father he had taken

your old man Ephraim and drove him he told me where he was taking him I don't

remember now the destination the roads in America

are not like here in Greece with turns they are straight lines

that you can't see where they end it's chaos America is not a state

the united states is not a state it is a whole continent you can

travel for hours and hours and days and still not get where you want not

hours days his father was going inside the

car and in the passenger seat Ephraim

my old man and you were asking and at some point when his father was driving he wondered

why my old man didn't answer and he turns to tell him old man what are you saying and

he sees that the seat was empty he hits the brakes almost fainted again

looks next to no one Ephraim was next to the seat looks back at the back

seats nowhere started to shaking and crying for some inexplicable reason

he considered himself responsible for the old man's disappearance he goes downstairs

he tells me his son says shaking and crying and starts calling

old man old man looking back he was afraid that at some point the

door would open and empty the man in the ditch on the k on the side of the

road until he tells me inside and in the trunk I looked if you can

figure it out if it is possible from the seat to find himself shoved into the trunk

of the trunk he was about to go crazy he didn't know what he was doing he got back into the car

crying he closes the door he makes a turn on the spot he goes back to

where he remembered that Ephraim was next to him and they were talking and he starts to

move more slowly he opens the door as well and go on go on go on

looking don't find him thrown anywhere or find him going on in the

desert nowhere did he get to where he saw that he had

disappeared and nowhere Ephraim and where

he was trembling he had fallen on the chair and

was crying he felt a small hand hitting him on the back and a voice saying to him

forgive me my child forgive me my boy he turns and sees him Ephraim,

forgive me, my child, but they called me and it was necessary and I had to

run, forgive me, falls down, hugs him to call old man old

man how he was called who heard how he heard the voice of the one who

called him or the one who called him how he went how he came I can say and I

know that what he tells me is true p why should the child lie to me why

lose his pilgrimage what did he earn to tell me a lie logically it's

true he didn't earn anything i can say it's lies

you who listen can say nice he tells us fairy tales and let us

all question it and me and you his father who lived it can

question it this is our faith we will live them to know them
