Weather was nice for skating on the ice rink.

Sophie was in a great mood. It was snowing outside and the sun was shining. On the street, people were very joyful and happy. they were preparing for the holiday.

At the rink, her friends Natalie and Anne were waiting for Sophie.

Sophie had little experience in ice skating, so she often fell on the ice. But Sophie didn't get upset about it, she just tried again and laughed. Natalie and Anne supported Sophie in skating. Her friend Natalie had a little more experience in this deal.

Then the friends felt that they were tired and needed to rest. Good, that very close to selling different food and beverages. The girls smelled delicious tea and fried sausages.

"Let's buy and eat cookies!" Natalie said.

"Cool idea!" Sophie and Anne said.

Tales from childhood: Decide yourself.

It was a Friday morning. Sophie went to school. Two days ago her teacher said that she won’t be on Friday. Little Sophie remembered about it.

When she entered the classroom, the children were talking loudly. There was no one in teacher’s place. The students felt free, they just wanted to have fun.

Suddenly, one boy who had problems with discipline said that they can go home because the head teacher let us go. Therefore, some children decided that this is actually the case. So, the whole class went to the locker room and there this boy told the nanny that the head teacher “let us go”. About more than half class went home.

Sophie looked at this all in thought. How can they just leave school lessons?

But only a few conscientious and responsible students decided to stay at school and study. Sophie was among them.

Another teacher came to the class and began to study with the children.

Meanwhile, the nanny decided to go to the head teacher and ask if she let this class go home.

“This boy told me that you let them go,” the nanny said.

The head teacher looked sternly, and then said:

“Did you come up to me? Did I let you go? What is this anyway?!  This is what a self- righteousness! After school lessons I’m waiting for you in my classroom.”

Sophie thought about it for a long time. At home she was praised for staying at school.

On Monday, when the teacher came at school, she found out everything. So, she took exercise books from those who left school on Friday and noted it for their parents. Also, the homeroom teacher said that leaving is just bad.

                       “The Snail and the Rosebush” by Hans Christian Andersen.

Once upon a time there was a garden. There were Snail and Rosebush.

The Snail was a selfish person. She lived in herself. The Snail didn’t want to give anything to anybody.

The Rosebush blossomed with rosebuds. He gave flowers and scent. The people around were happy about it.

The Snail was sitting in her own shell all this time. She didn’t worry about world around anything.

So, the Snail and the Rosebush lived in the same garden.

“To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.”

“You always admire what you really don't understand.”

“Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.”

“In difficult times carry something beautiful in your heart.”

“Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.”

“Nature is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”

“To understand is to forgive.”

“The more I see of Mankind, the more I prefer my dog.”

Many children liked doing  different things in the yard. Some were noisy, some weren't.

"Children are noisy again," old woman said.

"This is how they play," young mother said.

Riddle of the Sphinx.

The creature Sphinx (Σφίγξ) guarded Thebes (Θῆβαι), the Greek city. Typhon (Τυφῶν) and Chimera (Χίμαιρα) were her parents. Hera (Ἥρα) or Ares (Ἄρης) sent her in this place. The Sphinx had her own riddle. It sounds like this:

"Which creature has one voice and yet becomes four-footed and two-footed and three-footed?"

She killed who couldn't answer this question.

Oedipus (Οἰδίπους) solved the riddle of Sphinx.

"Person-who crawls on all fours as a baby, then walks on two feet as an adult, and then uses a walking stick during old age," he answered.

Afterwards, the creature killed herself.

Later Oedipus became the king of Thebes.

This riddle is popular in culture and art.

Tales from childhood: New buildings in the town.

Sophie lived in the suburb. Some people even called it a city. There you could get on a bus and get to the capital in ten minutes.

But the suburbanites were proud of what they had: parks, theatres, museums, cafes, and their own symbols. Little Sophie often saw her town in the school books. The history teacher would often tell the story of the suburb. 

Sophie and her grandmother regularly went to parades and celebrations in the center of a small suburb.

One day, Sophie noticed that construction had begun.

"Grandma, look here are building new buildings," little Sophie said.

"Yes, new interesting places will soon be built here," granny said.

Three months later, beautiful buildings and symbols of the city appeared in the center of the suburb.

Once at school, the students and the teacher decided to discuss these new buildings. Sophie said that she liked it. Others liked them, too. Also, the teacher said that there are beautiful places in her village.

Once upon a time there was a Prince. He had his own kingdom. But this Prince’s kingdom was very small.

He wanted to marry the Emperor’s daughter. Prince sent her a rose and nightingale as a gift. But the Princess wasn’t happy with them.

Then the Prince decided to become a swineherd and worked alongside the Princess. Also, he created a little kettle with bells. A melody was sung while cooking. The Prince gave this as a gift to the Princess and she liked it. The Princess loved artificial things.

She gave him ten kisses.

Later swineherd made a rattle. The Princess was glad again. He had hundred princess’s kisses.

At the end the Prince said that she didn’t understand the meaning of the real gifts and left her.

“The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single, but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.”

“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.”

“I knew you would do me good in some way, at some time--I saw it in your eyes when I first beheld you.”
