Tales from childhood: A trip to an amusement park.
Hi, dear readers! My name is H. I'm a man from another short story called "How I look at life". Do you remember this story? Even if you don't remember, it's normal.
Today my family and I will go to the big city by bus, and then we will ride the metro.
But our main goal is the amusement park. We will all ride the Ferris wheel there. My son wants to ride the carousel and jump on the trampoline. Child needs to have a good time!
"Dear, we're already there" my wife said.
We left the metro and walked down the street. I admire this place and joke about it. My wife likes it.
The day will soon be over. We rode the Ferris wheel. It was awesome! I remembered my youth when I often rode on amusement rides.
My little son has been everywhere and he liked it.

Tales from childhood: Did I do the right thing?
"You must leave him! You're a young and beautiful woman, and your husband has become ugly! Such a person can ruin your whole life!" some woman in the city center said.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Timothy's ex-wife. The same "man without face" the rest isn't so important.
It's just that society put a lot of pressure on me. Everyone around me said that a woman and a small child shouldn't be with such a man. So, I decided to leave Timothy together with our daughter.
"You did the right thing. Timothy must live somewhere in the forest far from people." my neighbor said.
Also, I once overheard Mrs. Anne's conversation and she said that I was a traitor! I had to accept Timothy as he is and teach the child this. But that's it! There isn't longer such an opportunity!
"Your wife acted very meanly with you. She can't just up and leave!" Mrs. Anne told Timothy.
Well, please tell me, what should I have done?!

Hi! I'm Mr. Theodor. Yes, I again speak with you.
My father left me an inheritance. Now I use it for my children. We have several houses in different places.
The mother of my children died under unclear circumstances. Beth and Johnny were still little then. Unfortunately, this is what happened. They know about it.

Tales from childhood: Village of my yoth.
Hi, dear different readers! I'm Mrs. Anne's friend. I'm an old woman, too. Also, I have two handsome grandsons.
My childhood was spent in the village. I remember there were a lot of cattle in this place. I worked a lot in the field.
By the way, some people think I'm weird because sometimes I start making jokes or telling stories from my life.
"Good morning!" a neighbor's child told me.
"Good morning, kid!" I said.
Now I've been living in our city for over twenty years. I remember how some girl with auburn hair and green eyes was watching her younger twin sisters. They were still young then.
Raymond's friend is my friend. I know his whole family well.

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.

Tales from childhood: How I look at life.
Good evening, everyone! I'm a friend of Raymond's family. I want to tell you about my views.
I'm a positive person. That's what my wife says. If you succeed, then it's good. And if not, then you didn't really want it. Maybe you can do these things next time.
Also, of someone speaks badly about you, don't be upset, because if people call you that, it's they who call you that.
I immediately forget about such trifles. And I advise others to do the same.
"Yes, that's how it should be!" my child said.
