The small white bags that have bloomed in the grass are also swaying in the wind. Two or three white clouds are slowly floating in the blue sky. The grass is full of small white flowers with trees planted here and there, and the grass is spread in the plain until far away. The healthy sunlight of the morning filtered through the trees and fell on the ground. There. The soldier opens his eyes every now and then and stares at the sky with difficulty, muttering something. The soldier's cap is on his side, and a piece of cloth is placed over his forehead. After looking at the sky and the distant plain for a while, the pain of the soldier can be seen on his face.
