Turning the pages, I met the boy Rémi - the main character of the story, along with many others like Aunt Barberin, Mr. Vitalis, the disabled boy Acto, or the animals in Grandfather Vitalis's wandering troupe. Following Rémi's footsteps, I experienced rural life, wandered across England and France, crawled into and got stuck in the mines, and in the end, I felt like returning with Rémi to his true family.
Question 4 on page 100 of Literature 6 textbook - Volume 2:
