Tales from childhood: Family's main secret.

Sophie was at the elementary school prom. They celebrated this important event in the classroom. Little children had a concert with each other. Sophie and her classmates read and played many interesting scences. Also, they told poems and short stories about school and childhood. It was very nice!

At this moment little Sophie understood that she finished an important part of her life. She became more serious, wise, clever, and kind. Sophie didn't pay attention to stupid things and words of other children. Her teacher helped Sophie with it.

"My daughter must know the truth about her parents," Sophie's mother thought.

Little Sophie didn't know her father. Never. Granny and mother knew many different things about him. But it was secret for Sophie.

Lara's father worked and lived not far from his daughter. Nobody knew there is Sophie's parent.

"You must talk to my granddaughter," the grandmother said.

"I thought about it, too," the mother said.

The summer holiday started. Sophie and Natalie visited the centre of their city. They noticed Lara's father and stepmother. Little Sophie couldn't imagine that her father loved another woman. It would be very sad for her.

Granny went to the shop. Mother staid at home. Sophie had many nice impressions in the city. She went to her mother.

"Today is an amazing day. There are many people in the centre of our city," Sophie said.

"I want to talk to you," the mother said.

Little Sophie became serious. She wanted to know their family's main secret. What's happened with her father? Maybe he lived not far from his daughter?

"Your father was a very good person. I met him when I was a college student. He was a kind young man. We started being friends. But several months later I knew that he was a poor man. Despite that fact we loved each other. So, we decided to create a family together," the mother said with sad voice.

"What's happened later?" asked Sophie with curiosity.

"We got married. He loved me very much. Also, your father worked hard on his work. It was necessary for us. Soon you were born," the mother said.

Little Sophie was very glad to know something about her father. Now, she didn't worry.

"But two years later your father had a serious illness. Temperature of his body was very high. Also, your father coughed. I worried about it," the mother said with tempered voice.

"Please, say the truth," Sophie said with serious tone.

"Your father laid in the hospital. Doctors and nurses wanted to save him, but... he died. You were just three-years-old," the mother said with tears.

"Thank you for this story. I'll know about my dad. You're very brave," Sophie said.

Sophie wanted to cry at this moment. She set in the armchair and her eyes were fll with tears. Sophie tried to hide it from mother. And she felt herself better and knew truth about her father.

Granny knew about it, too. She didn't know how to say these words.
