Eguraldi ederra zegoen, baina hain zen lodia lokatza, ezen berehala itsatsi baitzitzaien gurpilei, feltrozko estalki bat balitz bezala, eta horrek ikaragarri astundu zuen kotxearen ibilera; hango lurra, gainera, ohi baino buztintsuagoa eta lohitsuagoa zen. Eragozpen haiek guztiak zirela eta, eguerdia arte ezin atera izan ziren auzo-bideetatik.
