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: Long-awaited move.

"Dear, I found us a new apartment! We'll be moving in soon!" I told my wife with joy.

"Well, finally!" my wife said.

I'm Mr. H. Now I will live in another place with my wife and son. We've always wanted this. 

"Son, you and I will now go to the new apartment, and mom will pack things in the old one." I told him.

"Okay, dad, you and I will go." my son said. 

The new apartment was larger and more comfortable. My son and I began cleaning and preparing for the move.

First, we hug the old painting in the large room. That's probably a good place for it.

Then my son arranged the furniture in his room, and I gave advice.

"Put this chair here and move the table to the window" I said.

My wife had already packed up the old house, and we moved in by evening.

"So, how did you arrange the furniture?" my wife asked.

"Oh, that was difficult. But dad was a great guide" my son said with a smile.

Tales from childhood: A home for a family.

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.

"We are family!" I told people many years ago.

Although some people still don't understand me. These things aren't important for me.
