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.

Tales from childhood: Rain in May.

It was the last month of spring. Sophie, Jack, Beth, and Johnny walked on the bank of river. The weather was nice, especially for May. Blue sky, sun, and stuffy air.

Sophie thought about school. She passed difficult exams. Left to do the cleaning in the classroom and get school diary. Beth studied at 7th grade of middle school. She wanted to go to medical college. Also, she was a good example for Sophie and was friends with Jack.

Little Sophie laid in the tent with the bouquet of field flowers, Johnny was fishing in the river, Beth was sitting and talking with Jack. Good weather was important for this situation. But suddenly...

In the blue sky big and grey clouds appeared, the lightning flashed, thunder roared, it started raining. Children run to the bringe. They saw Mr. Theodor with several umbrellas. So, friends went to the village house. Beth and Johnny's father sheltered children.

Sophie heared thunder and saw water pouring. The lightning flashed through the window.

Old woman cooked pies and tea for children. Frineds were very happy. They felt warm.

Hour later the thunderstorm ended. Beth and Jack left the house. Soon, they returned with smile and called Sophie and Johnny. All of them saw beautiful rainbow on the sky. Sophie became happy on this May day despite the fact roads were muddy.

Tales from childhood: Adventure in the forest.

It was the beginning of summer season. Sophie, Johnny, and Beth decided to go to the forest. Weather was sunny and warm.

Beth was Johnny's older sister, 12-year-old girl. Mr. Theodor and Sophie's grandmother gave them permission to go for a walk. Children were very happy! They had tent, sleeping bags, several sandwiches, and bottles of water.

Adults said that they must be not far from river. Also, Sophie, Johnny, and Beth had hard rucksacks with their things.

They saw big rocks, green trees, many insects, deer, and flowers. Weather became hot and children were very tired. Friends didn't have enough attention on the road. Beautiful landscapes were far away from river. Children have eaten all food and sleep.

Next morning... Sophie, Johnny, and Beth realised, they forgot the way! During a day friends saw horizon and far away houses. But children afraid of people. Children were far away from the river. Friends were afraid for theirself.

Sophie cried, Beth worried about her father Mr. Theodor, Johnny thought about somebody who can help them.

In the evening Sophie saw young 14-year-old boy. He said that he lives in neighborhood village. He knows this place good. Beth asked boy's name. His name was Jack. He had blue eyes, honey hair, and many freckles.

Jack cared about Sophie, Johnny, and Beth. They were very tired and hungry. Insects bited little children Jack given them some sandwiches and tomatoes. At the end boy helped children go away from forest to the river.

Sophie's granny very worried about granddaughter. But she was glad when saw Sophie with rucksack.

Tales about childhood: A dangerous trek.

(This is my own short story).

Once in early spring tree girls, classmates from elementary school decided to go to the river after classes. Sophie, Kate, and Anne are made in good relations, girls are best friends. It's proposed to Kate, Anne supported, Sophie hesitated but after agreed.

When children arrived to the river girls saw thin ice. Kate stood on the ice. Then Anne joined her friend.

Only Sophie stood on the bank. Little girl seriously pondered her act. But sudden... Anne's feet were in the cold water. Kate stopped jumping and fell. Anne was already waist-deep in the river and crying.

At this moment Sophie was in panic. She didn't know what to do. Several seconds later girl cried "Help!".

Simple man responded to the children's cries and saved them.

When the girls returned home their families scolded them. So Sophie, Kate, and Anne will remember this day for the rest of their life.

Journey to Park City, Utah.

Recently, we have been visited this ski resort. During a journey we saw many species of nature and animals. Mountains, deer, little birds, cows, horses.




When we had a rest time we saw forest and river. I felt the familiar smell of water!




After a long road we arrived in this beautiful city. In Park city there are many shops, cafes, and mountain landscape with houses. Also in Park City I was photographed with a bronze bear.


I think that Park City in Utah is interesting place.



During a trip we ate a lot of fruits and two sandwiches.
