Sezona nasih zabav2 vecerin-

tupa sezona piknika i drugih
vanjskih sastanaka. Piknici zame-
njuju nase unutrasnje sastanke
jer tako sama priroda zahteva
posto smo mi jedan deo prirode.
Svaki cd mas danas voli da izadje

Nase unutrasnje afere owe 60

jih godina, osobito njihova mate
rijalna strana. Razume sc, bila

ne moze posumnjati. Sve sto mi

Kao sto su nase zimske afere
