Tales from childhood: My diagnosis.

"You've lost a lot of weight!" my colleague said me.

Indeed, I have become very, very thin lately. Although I eat as usual. Also, I often fell chills, even though it's warm outside.

Before, I thought it was just a cold. Now I decided to see a doctor.

"I came to get tested for a serious illness. I suspect I gave this." I told the hospital.

A few days later, I went to get the test results.

Oh, no! The results are positive! I have a fatal disease! I need to tell Timothy and my boss about this!

I, the lady in red, decided to tell you in more detail how everything really is. What should I do now?!

Tales from childhood: My mother.

Hi, dear readers! It's me, Timothy. I want to tell you another story from my life.

Many years ago, I had a mother. I lived with her then. I still love my mom.

I remember that back then we had white flowers and lots of toys in our house. I liked guns.

"Today we will go to the river and to the park," my mom said.

I loved these kinds of trips. I just remember it being wonderful.

Then... disaster happened!

To be continued.

Tales from childhood: Generosity.

"Mom, I want to give my old things to my friend." my daughter said.

"Good idea!" I said with a smile.

My daughter often gives away clothes and toys to those in need. This is right. There are people who need all this.

"Mrs. Anne, your daughter is a very, very generous and kind woman," her friend said.

Then my grandson was given a gift, too.

Tales from childhood: How we chose a Christmas tree.

Hello to everyone who reads this story! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! How did you spend the holidays? What do you remember most?

I'm Mr. H. and I want to tell you how we chose a Christmas tree. It was quite an adventure!

"Let's go to the market for a Christmas tree," my son said with joy.

Then we went to the market to pick out what we need. It was December 23rd, Christmas had already arrived, but we still didn't have the main decoration.

"Look what a beautiful Christmas tree!" my wife said.

"Yes, it's like a forest beauty," I said with a smile.

"Maybe we should take the bigger one," my son said.

We wandered around the market for a while longer. It was frosty and snowing outside. Everyone was dressed warmly.

By the evening we found a beautiful Christmas tree and bought it. We decorated our home and new tree.

"Very good we made it in time for the holidays," my wife said the next morning.
