Tales from childhood: Experiences.

Hello, dear children and adults! This is Mrs. Anne speaking. I'm an elderly woman, the mother of an adult daughter, and the grandmother of a young grandson.

I know about the disease that the lady in red suffers from. I feel so sorry for her! I don't understand those who stigmatize people who have been infected with this illness. The worst thing is that this is an incurable disease!

"Such cases happen. It's scary." my friend said and sighed.

"I hope she can handle it" I said with hope.

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.

"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: Our city.

Hello, dear readers! I'm a simple inhabitant of the city. I'm a local old man. I have lived here for a long time, so I know some secrets.

"This woman is very beautiful!" someone said.

Lady in red is a famous actress. She played in many different movies. Also, newspapers and magazines write about this woman.

I remembered how lady in red visited places in our city. I saw her during late evening in a restaurant.

"What does she do at work?" Sophie asked her grandmother.

"She is a muse for artists." granny answered.

I know that she recently became seriously ill. Now the woman in red often goes to doctors.

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: Another person and his view.

Lara was an ill-mannered child. And her mother was ill-mannered, too. Even after several years, little has changed. Maybe they just became calmer. Grandfather didn't tell them anything at all.

Now she forgot about her past life. Or woman in red remembered just a little. She liked her destiny.

Tales from childhood: Antique toys.

"I have a teddy bear that my grandmother gave me!" Natalie said.

Then she proudly showed the old toy. The teddy bear really looked old because it had been played with a lot. Also, the little bear was dressed in a costume of that time.

"First, my granny gave this toy to my Mom, and my mother gave the teddy bear to me." Natalie added.

Sophie and her friends were already big, so they didn't play with toys much anymore. Teenagers gave them to relatives and friends. In those families, small children played with toys.

One day, Sophie and her classmates went on an excursion to the toy museum. There they saw toys from the century before last and antique dolls, too.

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.

Tales from childhood: Timothy's life.

Timothy continued to live after what happened to him. Perhaps he was supported by his sister and her family. The young man felt confident near them.

"You can walk outside without an iron mask," Raymond said.

"Yes, you're right, I will" Timothy said.

So, Timothy went on the street with his uglified face. He walked in the yard where children were.

"Look at this man!" Lara screamed.

Others simply looked at Timothy.

"Grandma, why did Lara scream when she saw a man without face?" Sophie asked.

"You know, Sophie, there are people who are well-bred and there are not. Lara is uneducated." granny answered.

The surrounding people reacted differently, but no one knew how Timothy himself felt.

Tales from childhood: The main point.

Sophie had her own views on different things. Sometimes even her grandmother didn't understand her. At the same time, Sophie often said truthful phrases. But still she wanted to know the answers to some different questions.

Many people wanted to know why Timothy goes out late at night and even in an iron mask. Some admitted that they "accidentally" saw him without an iron mask.

One of them was a boy of nine years old. He studied well, also, attended different school sections. Despite all this, he later couldn't sleep all night when the child saw from the window in the evening a young man without face. He was very impressionable.

The little son of Raymond, and his independent eight-year-old niece have long seen Timothy without an iron mask.

"Grandma, why do people react so differently to Timothy's appearance?" Sophie asked.

"We are all different and react differently to different life situations." granny answered.

Tales from childhood: Family.

"Am I ruining my daughter's life!?" thought Timothy looking at himself in the mirror.

He didn't want people to see him, so he rarely went outside. Timothy wore a mask if he went to a public place.

His face was really uglified. Timothy worried about this situation. Especially when his wife left him with their little daughter.

Trouble happened to the young man, but the wife couldn't cope with it and decided to leave. It was strange. But some people were sure that Timothy's wife made a right decision. Also, there were those who believed that she should have supported her young husband.

Raymond and Maria supported Timothy. They came to visit him and brought their little son and Raymond's independent niece.

Sophie and her grandmother even didn't know what to think about it.

This place was big and cozy. There were many different telescopes that people looked through.

When Sophie looked through the telescope she saw stars, planets, and galaxies.

"Wow! That's lovely" Sophie said.

Tales from childhood: Sophie and her old friends.

When Sophie was a little child, she had many different friends. Sophie’s friends lived near her or studied in one school. Some of them taught Sophie how to play hide-and-seek; others suggested fun places in the city.

Several years later Sophie understood that she forgot about many friends during this time. 

“It happens that some of your friends are for from you that are why you stopped communicating.” grandmother said.   

“I understand,” Sophie said.

Indeed, many of Sophie’s classmates have moved on to other schools after elementary grades. Some friends from the yard moved to new houses and apartments.

Now Sophie had new friends, they were somehow different from her old childhood friends.  But at the same time she had one old friend from early childhood. She was a daughter of her mother’s colleague.

She was a simple good young girl. She was an example for many other children.
