Tales from childhood: Where is my inheritance?

Good time to you! I'm Timothy. I'm an orphan who lives in an orphanage, I'm a friend of one boy and a friend of Maria.

After my mother's murder, I live with my friends. If necessary, we protect each other and come to each other's aid in difficult times.

"You don't have any relatives at all?" someone asked me.

"Yes, that's what happened to me." I said.

My late Mom never told me about father or her relatives. I wanted to ask her, but I didn't have time. Also, I didn't have any inheritance. Or rather, I did have one, but then it disappeared somewhere.

I was only able to keep a piece of my mother's clothing. This is my memory of her.

"I love you very much and miss you. I want to achieve justice."

Tales from childhood: Festival in the big city.

Hello, everyone! This is Beth speaking. How are you?

My brother Johnny, our friend Sophie, and I are invited to a big city for the opening of an event. We will be there the whole evening and even longer.

"We will be able to meet local citizens!" my brother Johnny said.

There we actually met people who were born in the center of a big city and have lived there their entire lives.

"I live here and went to school here. Now I'm studying at a prestigious university." the young girl bragged to me.

"The festival is very beautiful, I liked the dancing!" Sophie said.

There was a huge crown of people there, and I couldn't see all the stars of the concert.

Perhaps a big city offers more opportunities, but I'm not sure...

Tales from childhood: Our educators.

Hi, readers! I'm just a resident of the orphanage where Maria and Timothy live. I'm their good friend. The three of us have a great time together, and no one says anything to us. It helps us orphans cope with loneliness.

We have teachers and educators, but these adults are very indifferent to us. For example, one woman, a young woman, often told us about her eight-year-old son, who was often sick. This child spent a month every two months on sick leave with his mother.

"My child needs me, he has a high fever and hospitalized! Now he needs me more than you troubled teenagers!" the teacher said these words every time.

At such moments, Maria remained in charge, but Timothy and I were able to afford to leave the orphanage.

The other teachers didn't react to our behavior. But one day, an old security guard caught us and wouldn't let us outside. Maybe that was for the best, because it was very cold out there!

Tales from childhood: My position.

Good evening, everyone! I'm Mrs. Anne. I often walk in a playground. My daughter and grandson walk there, too.

I'm already an old woman, so I often worry about my grandson when he runs somewhere or climbs a tree.

"Look where our boy went," I once said to my daughter.

"Mom, don't worry so much. He plays with other boys," she said.

I may be very nervous sometimes, but my grandson is an active child.

There was a case when he went onto the road and my daughter immediately took my grandson from there.

Also, I was worried about Timothy when he got into a trouble. For a while, the young man literally 'had no face'. But all the problems were resolved as I hoped.
