Була зима, сніжинки падали на землю, з дахів звисали бурульки - загалом, звичайний зимовий день. Але раптом місто наповнилося теплом, лавина гарячого повітря обрушилася на нього ззовні, подарувавши місту чергове ракетне літо. Ця розповідь — це не просто картина неймовірного майбутнього, це емоційна подорож у світ, де наука здатна перетворювати зиму на літо, де надії та мрії про космос стають відчутними та реальними. Бредбері майстерно вплітає в розповідь мотиви зміни, устремлінь до невідомого та тонку ностальгію за втраченою гармонією з природою.
