I met him at the river, to the waterfall of C. Short, was repairing the bridge, which element last night poured. Stacked in his work there was not much time for talk with random tourists. We were gone, On a hike from the serpent to the Kusak waterfall, along Karadja Dere. I hadn't passed this country and it was quite interesting to me.

It was interesting to meet and bye Shien. There was no way I wouldn't ask him:

Grandpa cowing 86 years, felt happy by doing something useful for people. Worked, Before the wide meadow, built houses for workers, It was then maintenance to the municipality of Overnight and now a retired. He has been doing something for people all his life. I didn't hear him complain, for something to resent. I saw it, just, that he was healthy and happy.

Probably, grandfather, There was another job on the house, on the garden, animal, But he had come to fix the bridge here at the Casca waterfall - to pass the people.

All over the reaches of a river Karadja Dere (Deer) There are seating areas and picnic by locals, as a bay cervical. Everything is people, left some important, personal work, In order to have something for people.
