A story-parable that shows the difference - how different the consequences can be for parents and children, due to making quick or meaningful decisions when communicating with children about their future. Only a small part of the relationship between parents and grown-up children is affected, but it (according to the author) determines the future of both parents and children. p.s. The plot of this parable complements the fairy tale “The Adventure of Feofan, and for many – just Fan,” and reveals the fate of the “Old Lady” that Fan met on his journey.
