The kind hunter comes forward, armed, towards the red flower.

The second reading, dawn on the 17th of Mordad, 1397.

It was a peaceful morning in the forest. The kind hunter, with his trusty weapon in hand, advanced slowly towards the beautiful red flower. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating patterns on the ground. The hunter's heart was filled with a sense of wonder and respect for the natural world around him. As he approached the flower, he could see its delicate petals and the dewdrops that glistened on them. It was a sight that took his breath away. He knew that this was a moment to be cherished, and he would do his best to protect this precious flower and the entire forest ecosystem.

The feeling I have towards the Baratigans is similar to the one I have towards Bukowski. I take pleasure in reading their satirical, straightforward, and sometimes vulgar writings. However, I have never read a translation of theirs that satisfied me. I don't know if it's because of my own whim or if the translations are really getting weirder day by day!

It seems that no matter how hard the translators try, they can't quite capture the essence and charm of the original works. Maybe it's the cultural differences, or perhaps it's the difficulty in translating the unique language and style. But whatever the reason, it's a pity that I can't fully appreciate the Baratigans and Bukowski in their translated forms. I hope that one day, there will be better translations available that can do justice to these great writers and allow more people to enjoy their works.

Perhaps in total, I liked ten pages of the book.

This could mean that out of the entire book, only those ten pages really caught my attention and held my interest.

Maybe the content on those pages was particularly engaging, well-written, or relevant to my interests.

It's possible that the rest of the book didn't quite have the same impact on me.

However, liking ten pages doesn't necessarily mean the book is bad overall.

There could be other aspects of the book that I didn't fully appreciate or that I need to explore further.

It could also be that my initial impression was based on a small sample, and as I read more, my opinion might change.

In any case, those ten pages that I liked have left a positive impression on me and have made me curious to see what else the book has to offer.
