Platero and I: The Tour

Don't judge me with your eyes, Platero. I had the best intentions helping the lost walkers on their way.

I know there is a shorter route, but that couple seemed sympathetic and I had the impression that their restaurant was still filled up.

Thanks to the detour I made them take, they get a nice view over the valley, walk past the cherry trees - currently in full bloom - and can see the foal grazing in the meadow since yesterday.

Admit, Platero, they'll enjoy it more than just turning right at the end of the road to get there.

Author Notes: Hervé SUYS (°1968 - Ronse, Belgium) started writing short stories whilst recovering from a sports injury and hasn't stopped yet. He usually writes them hatless and barefooted.
