Tales from childhood: The main point.

Sophie had her own views on different things. Sometimes even her grandmother didn't understand her. At the same time, Sophie often said truthful phrases. But still she wanted to know the answers to some different questions.

Many people wanted to know why Timothy goes out late at night and even in an iron mask. Some admitted that they "accidentally" saw him without an iron mask.

One of them was a boy of nine years old. He studied well, also, attended different school sections. Despite all this, he later couldn't sleep all night when the child saw from the window in the evening a young man without face. He was very impressionable.

The little son of Raymond, and his independent eight-year-old niece have long seen Timothy without an iron mask.

"Grandma, why do people react so differently to Timothy's appearance?" Sophie asked.

"We are all different and react differently to different life situations." granny answered.

Tales from childhood: Family.

"Am I ruining my daughter's life!?" thought Timothy looking at himself in the mirror.

He didn't want people to see him, so he rarely went outside. Timothy wore a mask if he went to a public place.

His face was really uglified. Timothy worried about this situation. Especially when his wife left him with their little daughter.

Trouble happened to the young man, but the wife couldn't cope with it and decided to leave. It was strange. But some people were sure that Timothy's wife made a right decision. Also, there were those who believed that she should have supported her young husband.

Raymond and Maria supported Timothy. They came to visit him and brought their little son and Raymond's independent niece.

Sophie and her grandmother even didn't know what to think about it.
