It was three o’clock in the morning when the phone rang. I had been sleepping only for three hours till that moment because I had gone to bed too late. There was interesting soap opera on TV and I wanted to know the finale. I immediately got out of bed and picked up the phone. Nobody answered.  I was confused a little and put the phone back. It suddenly dawned on me that it wasn't the phone ring, but the doorbell. A few moments later, I heard someone turn the key in the keyhole.

At that moment the door opened. My elder brother was standing on the threshold and smiling.

As soon as I saw him, I knew something was wrong. Then I understood that he was drunk. I smelled beer from him. But he looked so happy and carried something in his left hand. Then he began to explain to me that he had won the top prize in the annual lottery and we had to go the next day to the capital to get that prize. We decided to go the next day in the evening.  Ten minutes later, I went back to sleep.

On the next September morning I got to work early. I was working all day waiting for our short amazing trip to the capital city. And then the end of that day had become. We got to the station just in time to catch the train. Fortunately, there was empty couch where we could sit, have some rest and discuss our future plans.

Then the train slowly started and crawled in the direction of our new incredible life…
