Tales from childhood: Our team.

Good morning or evening, friends! I'm Mr. H. Soon in our city we will hold a sport competition. Several teams have arrived. They are all ready to play.

"How wonderful, that this long-awaited event is coming soon! Everyone's been preparing for it for months!" my wife said with joy in her voice.

Indeed, a stadium was built specifically for this game. Also, sports grounds appeared on the streets and young people have already begun to engage in various exercises on them. I think it's a good thing. My son has already participated in a sports competition after training at the new location.

"Dad, when are we going to watch the competition?" my son asked me.

"Yes, this evening" I answered.

The ones we supported won! I'm happy, and so is my family!

But I want to tell you again that in sport, the most important things isn't winning, but taking part, because even those who lose have trained their bodies well. Ha-ha-ha!

Tales from childhood: Talk in a café.

Hello to everyone who is reading these lines now. This is Sophie speaking, I think you remember me. I want to share with you an incident that I overheard in a café. 

"Mom, are we going to live in another village soon?" some girl asked her mother.

"Yes, tomorrow we will go there by train" the woman answered.

"I hope it will be much better these than here." the girl said.

"I hope so, too" the mother said.

I hear this lot. Supposedly, other places are paradise. But I'm skeptical. It's just that I've been a tourist in a few places before, and expectations and reality don't always match.

I said what I thought.
