Canvas "Turn A Bad Day Around"

Ask what the story was.
I wanted to show a woman a volcano. I said, you're in Fuerteventura, you have to experience something unforgettable.
"But just a small one," she asks, "so that I don't have to climb too high, because I came to rest, not to work hard."
Okay, I had just such a volcano ready.
So, we put on our sneakers, grabbed some water, and set off.

And here we are, walking along the path through the lava fields, it's not difficult, but the sun is baking, there's nowhere to hide. The path rises slightly and my hiker starts to slow down. But I grit my teeth and after an hour we find ourselves at the edge of the crater.
We look into the hole, then I say, let's go back the other way, it will be more interesting.
I see a path winding between lava mounds and I head there.
The path is getting narrower and suddenly turns in the wrong direction.
That's all, I say, let's just drive across the plain. We know the direction roughly, we'll go.

And now we've been wandering through the lava fields for an hour. We stumble on sharp rocks, climb hills, looking for at least some kind of path.
I pretend to know where we're going, even though I really don't: all around are volcanoes and distant mountains on the horizon. And the lava rocks are so sharp they could cut through the sole of my sneakers, but I don't say that either, I don't want to cause panic.
The water is gone, the weather is hot, and we keep coming across impassable rock piles and have to turn back, looking for another path.

Well, I think she will definitely not forget this walk.

Of course, we didn't die, after a couple of hours we found the trail and our car.

And then it was completely clear what we would do next: we would go to a restaurant to eat.
"Take me to where the tastiest paella is," the woman says.
And I don't know, because I've never eaten it.
But I know for sure that this time I won't make a mistake - wherever I take it, the paella will be the tastiest.
That's how it was.
Jesus, how delicious we ate!

And the lava fields and the hardships of the volcano were forgotten - everything was wonderful again.

Fate tried to put a pig in our way, but we managed to get rid of it.
