Tales from childhood: Good deeds.

It was a simple winter evening. Sophie was reading fairy tales in her comfortable room. Grandmother was knitting socks for her granddaughters. Snowfall became very strong and temperature fell to -15 C (5 F).

Next day little Sophie and granny decided to walk because the sky was blue. But... roads became very slippery.

Suddenly girl and old woman saw that somebody laid on the slippery ice. Middle-aged woman slipped and fell on the way.

So, grandmother understood that this person needs a doctor. Ambulance appeared several minutes later. Sophie helped woman, too. She gave her a hand with granny.

Two weeks later, in Sophie's school, a woman came from the road. She said a lot of thanks words to teacher and Sophie. All classmates were glad that children can help, too.

Also, woman's injuries almost healed.
