Senya went to the sea coast with the kids, to have a rest. After all the difficulties connected with the arrival were settled, Senya and the kids went to the embankment.
From the embankment, the kids saw ships sailing into the sea. The kids started jumping, pointing at the ships and showing their joy. (Exuberant joy could have been followed by a desire to game loudly and by a good appetite.)
But Senya quickly went to the trading stall, bought a beautiful panama hat and put it on himself.
The kids were amazed. Senya in a white panama looked very representative.
Senya and the kids continued their walk along the embankment. But the kids did not look at the ships, they looked only at Senya and obediently followed him.
This is a great art of upbringing - to put on a beautiful panama hat at the right time!
