.. Shivering with excitement I lie in the wet tall grass at the edge of the orchard, the thin lines firmly pressed in my hands. It’s midsummer, school holiday and I’ve got my first job. Above it all is the blue sky with slowly drifting, expanding and higher and higher climbing thunderclouds. There is the tolling of the timber harvester, pulled by sturdy black and brown horses who in a modest tempo try to get the grain safe into the barn before the thunderstorm begins. The lines disappear into the grass and reappear a hundred meters further on, climb along the dark trunks of the cherry trees and dissolve into their dense canopy. Where they are tied to empty cans that are going to make a horrible noise when I pull the lines. Fifty cents an hour is the reward, plus a wooden box with cherries which my mother will conserve in glass jars with rubber rings. I’ve stolen one of them to construct a perilous cherry pit catapult which I’m going to use at the brutal Stuka starlings when they dare to break through my Wall of Sound ..
