Danilka, an eight-year-old orphan in the story " A Day in the Country" said that there is no secret in nature that baffles Terenty because, everything he asked about nature, Terenty managed to answer them with no hesitation. Terenty even knows the names of the wild plants and animals in the field or in the forest. Terenty knows about the birds, the riverbanks and all the gifts of nature. This is the reason why Danilka awed nature so much.
