Tales from childhood: Friendship.

Sophie noticed that there are people who said bad words about Timothy. But they even didn't know him! These people just judged him by his appearance.

Because of this, the young man became more and more afraid of people on the street. After all, as soon as Timothy went into a public place, there was always someone who expressed his own opinion about his disfigured face.

"Grandma, why do people act like this around Timothy?" Sophie asked.

"Probably no one explained to them that others can't despise a person for his appearance." grandmother answered.

Timothy himself from all became shy and quiet during day. The disfigured man began to go outside only during at night.

Timothy visited some night places, everyone got used to him there.

Also, Raymond noticed that his wife's brother was very cheerful. He realized that the conversations with Timothy needed to be carried out again.
