...slogs through his days dulled with despair, not even bothering to stew himself with vodka. Then he sees a five-year-old orphan boy gnawing at a melon rind. Out of pity and his own sorrow, he tells the child that he is his father. The boy is not really fooled, but he accepts the pretense with joy. The two walk off down a mud road to the man's village, where he will take up life as a carpenter again...
