Tales from childhood: My parents.

Hello to everyone who reads these lines! What did you do this summer? Have you already traveled, or are you planning on going soon? Perhaps you spent the time in a cozy village? Or even in your hometown, attending events?

It's all me, I ask, Maria, do you remember her? Ha-ha-ha!

I want to talk about my early childhood. I don't remember my parents very well. But life with them was wonderful! I was their only daughter, and they made me happy.

"Look baby, these blue flowers are for you," said my Mom and gave me a blue bouquet from the meadow.

Since then, I really love the color blue and I have a lot of blue things.

Literature. Part hundred thirty seven.

                                The Fox and the Crow by Aesop.

One day, the Fox was looking for food. Suddenly, she saw a Crow perched on a tree branch with cheese in its beak.

The Fox began praising bird and wanted to hear the Crow's "beautiful" voice. Immediately, the cheese fell out of the beak, and the cunning Fox took the food for herself.

Tales from childhood: Any weather is good.

Greetings to everyone reading this! I'm Mr. H. I'd like to tell you more about my family.

Let's start with the fact that I was born and raised in a very cold place. From an early age, I've been accustomed to the cold climate. My son loves snow and wind, too. My wife, however, comes from a warmer climate, but that doesn't bother us at all.

Our child enjoys walking outside in winter. We all like it.

"What nice weather today!" I said to my wife during the rain after hot days.

Everything is always great in my family, no matter the weather.

Syrinx.

Syrinx (Σῦριγξ) (Súrinx) was a nymph (νύμφη) (nýmphē) in Greek myths and legends. She served Artemis (Ἄρτεμις). Also, Syrinx was known for her purity.

The god Pan (Πάν) (Pán) pursued her. Then Syrinx asked her naiad (ναϊάδες) (naïádes) sisters for salvation. They turned her into a reed or in lilac near the Ladon River.

Then Pan made a flute from the plant.
