Tales from childhood: Important people for us.

Lara had a difficult temper. Sometimes she behaved like a crybaby. The child was loud. Lara fought and took away toys from other children. The girl walked in the yard with her grandfather. Lara's mother visited shops a this time.

One fine day Beth decided to tell about her father, Mr. Theodor. Sophie and her best friend Natalie wanted to listen.

"My father help me in hard situations. He remembered about my habits. Because he is my father." said Beth with pride in her voice.

Little Lara thought about her own father. He left her when she was almost three-years-old. Mother didn't talk about her husband. She found another man.

Lara imagined her father was military. Perhaps he died defending his Motherland. But little Lara couldn't find any military medals at home.

When grandfather and granddaughter returned from a walk, Lara asked,

"Where is my father? I know that Mr. Theodor is a good father for Beth and Johnny. But I don't have a father!" said Lara with a sad voice.

Granddad didn't know what to say to the child. Although he knew the whole truth.

"Your father... lives on the next street and has another wife and children," said grandfather.

Afterwards, old man covered his mouth with his hand. Gossip is true. Natalie saw Lara's father many times. Sophie and her family knew about it, too.

Maybe little Lara didn't understand anything. This situation influenced on her temper.

Grandfather regretted about his own words. But children can't be deceived.
