In this year I made important things yet.

Hello everyone. I'm Timothy. I spent my childhood in a foster family. Now I only keep touch with my sister Maria. My other siblings have all moved away. I don't know where they are.

A few years ago I went through a difficult time in my life. Many people didn't know about my real problem. The lady in red was the one who supported me.

"You're a good young man," she said with a kind smile.

"You have a very kind heart," I said.

Also, I knew personal secrets from this woman.

"What are you chosen your profession?" asked journalist young lady.

"It's just their job," Sophie thought.

The girls were already big and understood a lot about professions.

Tales from childhood: Timothy's events.

Timothy loved alone in the apartment. His wife left left him there, after what happened to him. Timothy lived in this apartment, and his sister lived on the next street.

He enjoyed the freedom in this place, he did what he wanted, invited different people, came when it was convenient for him.

"You're so funny again!" Raymond said.

"Yesterday I had a good rest. I invited guests who accepted my appearance, they were cheerful women." Timothy said.

"You be careful with them. And with fun, too." Raymond said.

"Yes, sometimes I laugh too loudly." Timothy said.

Once Timothy came to visit Raymond and decided to stay there for a few days.

Raymond and Maria had a serious talk with him during those days.

Timothy complained about other things they might never understand.

Tales from childhood: Timothy and his mood.

“Hi! How are you?” Raymond asked Timothy.

“So, so, I have difficult moments in my life. Not all people can understand me.” Timothy answered.

“I can understand and accept you.” Raymond said.

“Thank you very much! You’re real friend!” Timothy said.

In general, some people noticed that Timothy really behaved in a strange way. He didn’t always understand where he was or didn’t remember what time it was.

Perhaps this was due to a misunderstanding of the surrounding people. Timothy was hard to hear the words about his appearance.

“Need to guide Timothy on the right path in life,” the wise Mrs. Anne thought.

“I hope that Timothy won’t behave like this anymore,” Sophie said.

Raymond’s niece also worried about Timothy’s behavior because she was a very sensitive child.

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.

Sophie wanted to visit a new cafe. She heard from her friends that they served food. So, little Sophie waited the day of visit.

Her granny visited the new cafe, too. At first they thought the new place was cozy. Grandmother and granddaughter sat at the table.

"Interesting place!" Sophie said.

"Yes," granny said.

But when the food was brought to them, it wasn't so tasty.

Paleontology.

Paleontology (παλαιοντολογία) is the study about life on the Earth, which existed before Holocene epoch. This word came from the Greek language παλαιός, palaios  "old", ὄν, on "creature", and λόγος, logos "study".

Science about ancient creatures has similar features with other studies. Biology, geology, and archaeology are related sciences to paleontology. 

Paleontologists are studying the history of life on our planet. Ancient fossils can tell a lot about animals and their lives.

Also, scientists study climate of that periods. Billions and millions years ago the weather was different. Ice age changed life of animals.

Paleontology helps to understand the life of dinosaurs. They lived on the Earth many years ago. Then the dinosaurs died.

This science explains evolution. Different animals have different ancestors. They could be of other size and live in other places.

Plants at that time were different, too.

Science about ancient animals studies in colleges and universities.

Lara had a good grandfather. He was an important person in her life. Granddad loved his granddaughter very much. Each weekend they spent time together.

Little Lara and her grandfather visited a bakery. They bought delicious sweets. Lara shared with other children in the yard.

She missed about her father. Instead of the fact she didn't know him. Lara's imagination was very rich. She thought how her Dad loved and missed her. Little Lara couldn't understand why her father left her.

"Granddad, can you tell me about my father?" Lara asked.

"He was a simple man. But circumstances happened in the family. Your father made his choice," grandfather said.

"Does he know about me and my mother? Does my father remember me?" she asked.

"Your dad cared and loved you. When you were a baby. Later he changed his outlook on life." granddad said it with sad voice.

Maybe Lara didn't understand his words. But she still waited for her father. Little Lara hoped to see him.

Grandfather knew many things about family life. There were unpleasant moments, too. He remembered how Lara's father called him and was interested in his family's affairs. Also, dad helped with presents for Birthday and Christmas.
