Chapter 30 father's worries

Some say that the word Odradek is of Slavic origin, on the basis of which they try to justify the word's structure.Others believe that it is of German origin with only some Slavic influence.Both points of view are inexplicable, and each makes one feel that they are indeed neither, especially since the word cannot be defined by either. If there is no such thing as Odradek, then naturally no one will do such research.At first glance, it looks like a low star-shaped yarn core, but in fact its surface seems to be covered with yarn, but it is just some broken, old, interconnected and messy shapes and sizes. line segment.However, it is not just a core, a small rod protrudes from the middle of the star, and there is another one on the right side of it.This last little rod is on one side, and a beam of light from the star is on the other side, which can make the whole beauty stand up like two legs.

One tries to believe that this thing used to have a shape for a purpose and is now just broken.But that doesn't seem very plausible, at least there's nothing to suggest it, and there are no marks or cracks in that regard.The whole thing seemed grotesque, but it came into its own.It's hard to say more specifically, because Odradek is very flexible and cannot be captured. It has no fixed home, or a roof, or a stairwell, or a sidewalk, or a corridor.Sometimes I don't see it for a few months, maybe it has moved to someone else's house, but it will definitely return to my house afterward.Sometimes, if people come out of the house and it happens to be leaning on the banister of the stairs below, people want to talk to it, of course they don't ask complicated questions to it, it is small and cute, so people treat it like Treat a child. "What's your name?" people asked it. "OAdradek" it said. "Where do you live then?" "Wandering," it said, and smiled, a tongueless laugh that sounded like the swish of falling paper.Normally, the conversation ends there.Moreover, even such an answer is not always available, for it is often silent and silent, like a piece of wood that resembles it.

In vain I asked myself, what would it be like?will it dieGenerally, those who are mortal have certain goals and certain things to do during their lifetime, and they work hard to death because of this. Not so with O-drade.So will it drag the yarn under the feet of my child and my child's child before rolling down the stairs?Obviously it doesn't hurt anyone, yet the thought that it will outlive me makes me miserable.
