Tales from childhood: Secret place.

Hello, dear readers! I'm Sophie. Today I want to tell you about my old secret.

A long time ago, I was at Mr. Theodor's cottage. Then my friends Beth and Johnny showed me a secret place. His children knew about it. 

There was another large apartment at the very bottom of the building. And it was filled with jewelry. I was shocked!

"Just don't tell anyone about this, please!" Beth asked me.

Many years passed since then, I don't know how it is now.

Tales from childhood: Blind love.

Good day to everyone reading these lines! It's me again, Timothy. I want to share with you one of the women I've loved.

I was still unattractive back then, and my ex-wife had already kicked me out. I had to live wherever I pleased. It was a difficult time. But that's when I met this beautiful and kind girl.

It happened in the center of a city. Everyone there was in a hurry.

"Hello, beauty!" I told her.

"Hi, young man!" the girl said without looking at me.

At that moment I realized that my new friend was blind. Yes, it was she who saw nothing and this beautiful girl didn't care how I looked.

I started talking to her more often, and that's how our friendship began. Back then, I felt free to walk around in front of my friend, doing whatever I wanted. It gave me confidence.

Then I fell in love with a blind girl because she was the one who valued my inner world. We often went to different places.

Tales from childhood: Whose fault is it here!?

"You don't understand anything! You don't want to do anything!" once again my mother yelled at me.

I felt very offended then. I remembered different fairy tales where there were evil stepmothers and stepsisters.

If that lady in red, the one who doesn't give her name, is talking to you. Yes, my family doesn't know my name either. It's sad. Oh...

It was when I was a little girl. I was already lying in bed and decided it was my mother's fault, not mine.

"I'm normal, and you're not!" I said silently.

Maybe the problem lies with others? What do you think?

Tales from childhood: Important woman in my life.

Hi, dear people! This is Timothy speaking to you, remember me? If you remember me, that's great, but if you've forgotten me, I'm the one who was orphaned as a child. Then I became ugly, and my wife left me. Now it's not so important.

I want to tell you a personal secret. I've had many relationships with different women in my life. My ex-wife was far from my first and last love.

Let me tell you about the most important woman in my life. My mother. In my early childhood, I was happy with this woman. She loved me then, and I still love my mother and always will.

I'm very similar to her, but when I was eight, my mother died. She was murdered. It's so hard for me to remember. Ah...

My father never lived with us, so I don't know him personally.

"Poor orphan!" said some girl.

But I've long since gotten used to my status. Besides, Sophie and her friends always support me.
