5th commandment: “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you” (Ex. 20:12) In modern prose, few people touch on the sore subject of the loneliness of old people. The author of the story took on a risky business, and he managed to reveal this topic. And this was done not with a feeling of pity, but with admiration for the “old women” who managed to overcome their own loneliness, becoming winners over the tragedies of life. Being cut off from the world, deprived of the care they deserved, the “old women” did not lose their sense of humor and nobility of soul. They are ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their neighbors. I would like to believe that our generation will follow the fifth commandment - to honor our parents. Because for each of us it is a great happiness to know that your loved ones need you... Attention: in the work there is profanity, which is justified by the characters and life situations.
