Traces Along the Edges
A square rug laid out in homes of every kind throughout Novokitezhgrad, richly patterned and finished at all four corners with reinforced tassels.\nTo grown-ups busy making a living, this is just an ordinary piece of weaving used to mark off areas of a room. But to the children, the crisscrossing lines across its surface are a natural place to play hopscotch.\n"As long as you don't step on the dotted line around the outside, you've made it safely to the far shore!" Amid the light hop of feet and peals of laughter, this small rug has quietly carried many people through the most carefree growing years spent under their own roof.
