One fine day, after Manon had eaten an excellent breakfast consisting of all organic ingredients such as eggs, butter, bread and fresh fruit of an orange color, she set out on a walk. She took her usual route past the 15th century castle and into the woods. The ground was soft from the recent rain, but now the sun shone brightly and she met several people in colorful clothes who smiled at her in response to her friendly greeting. Manon walked several minutes past the familiar trees and a bench upon which she had rested upon some other time, when the weather was less friendly, more blustery and cold. The few people she met back then stared straight ahead and ignored her greeting, although she did not remember whether she greeted them less friendly on that day. Chasing away this memory with a wave of her left hand—which she took out of her pocket for this gesture—that went unnoticed by the rest of humanity, Manon moved on and deeper into the forest. A squirrel crossed her path a short distance in front of her and seemed to stop for an instant but upon becoming aware of her ran on and up a birch tree, and disappeared in the heights. Manon noticed the birch tree, which stood out pleasantly with its white bark in front of the more solemn fir trees that rose immediately behind the birch tree, into which the squirrel had now disappeared.
