Tales from childhood: Mushroom trip.

“Today we go to the forest to pick mushrooms and berries,” Lara’s grandfather said.

“Very good!” Sophie thought.

Many children have been waiting for this trip to the forest for a long time. Now that day has come.

Sophie and Natalie walked side by side and imagined how they would find mushrooms and berries there.

But then it turned out that people need to carefully look for the right mushrooms and berries. Not all fruits in the forest were edible.

“Also, there are different kinds of mushrooms,” grandfather said.

“This is how it turns out in reality!” Sophie said.

“Yes, we need to study how to find mushrooms and berries,” granddad said.

Sophie listened to what people said about things in the forest.

Also, many children from the group noticed that even just to get out of the forest, knowledge is needed.

Tales from childhood: Lara's thoughts.

Lara was still strange child for Sophie. The little girl could afford to call other children bad names. Sophie and her friends didn’t like it. So, they didn’t talk with stupid Lara. It was a right decision.

Natalie had a kind heart. She understood different people and situations. Natalie’s mother was a good wife. She was a quiet and calm woman. Therefore, she was happily married. Natalie was a nice young girl, too. Husband and father loved their women.

“Natalie’s family is a good example,” Sophie’s mother said.

“Yes, it’s true,” Sophie said.

Good parents, good people.
