As a child I had the feeling that the whole city I lived in consisted of nothing but fences. Back then it was customary to enclose everything. That is, everything that could be surrounded by a fence. It was a trend of the time. To fence yourself off from everyone and hide behind a high fence. But is it possible to hide anything from the boys? Fences were not a barrier for us, but a sporting event. Who would be the fastest to fly over this or that fence, and preferably without breaking anything. Neither the fence nor your limbs. And we flew over it like birds. There wasn't a fence in the world that we couldn't beat.
