Tales from childhood: Cool trip!

Good evening, dear people! What's new in your life? How did you spend your time?

It's me, Mr. H. About two months ago I wanted to go to the south with my family. There are beaches with the sea, warm sun, all the people around are happy and enjoying their vacation.

"I hope we can go to a warm city this year and relax there," I told my wife.

But then it turned out we couldn't go to the seaside this year. So my wife, son, and I decided to go to countryside. That's a fun way to relax, too. We can go into the woods, watch animals, and eat vegetables...

"We can go on vacation somewhere else." I said.

"Great idea!" my son said happily.

"Yes, I like it," my wife agreed.

Our summer vacation in the village was actually very interesting. My son and I went fishing, and my wife went to the market and bought a lot of necessary things. Also, we met new people.

Tales from childhood: Our educators.

Hi, readers! I'm just a resident of the orphanage where Maria and Timothy live. I'm their good friend. The three of us have a great time together, and no one says anything to us. It helps us orphans cope with loneliness.

We have teachers and educators, but these adults are very indifferent to us. For example, one woman, a young woman, often told us about her eight-year-old son, who was often sick. This child spent a month every two months on sick leave with his mother.

"My child needs me, he has a high fever and hospitalized! Now he needs me more than you troubled teenagers!" the teacher said these words every time.

At such moments, Maria remained in charge, but Timothy and I were able to afford to leave the orphanage.

The other teachers didn't react to our behavior. But one day, an old security guard caught us and wouldn't let us outside. Maybe that was for the best, because it was very cold out there!

Tales from childhood: Physical exercise with benefits.

Hello, dear readers! I'm Mr. H. What have you been up to? What interesting things happened?

This is how it happened for me. My wife and I washed the windows in our new apartment. Our son participated, too.

It was like a gym class. We repeated the same movements many times! Ha-ha-ha!

"Dad, I brought cleaning supplies," my son said.

"Thank you very much, son" I said with happiness.

"Oh, I'm already tired; everything will probably hurt tomorrow!" my wife said.

"No matter, we did something useful and trained our bodies." I encouraged her.

The next day we really felt the result of the "training", but all the windows in the new apartment became cleaner, and the view of the street became more vivid.

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.

Tales from childhood: Our team.

Good morning or evening, friends! I'm Mr. H. Soon in our city we will hold a sport competition. Several teams have arrived. They are all ready to play.

"How wonderful, that this long-awaited event is coming soon! Everyone's been preparing for it for months!" my wife said with joy in her voice.

Indeed, a stadium was built specifically for this game. Also, sports grounds appeared on the streets and young people have already begun to engage in various exercises on them. I think it's a good thing. My son has already participated in a sports competition after training at the new location.

"Dad, when are we going to watch the competition?" my son asked me.

"Yes, this evening" I answered.

The ones we supported won! I'm happy, and so is my family!

But I want to tell you again that in sport, the most important things isn't winning, but taking part, because even those who lose have trained their bodies well. Ha-ha-ha!

Tales from childhood: How we chose a Christmas tree.

Hello to everyone who reads this story! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! How did you spend the holidays? What do you remember most?

I'm Mr. H. and I want to tell you how we chose a Christmas tree. It was quite an adventure!

"Let's go to the market for a Christmas tree," my son said with joy.

Then we went to the market to pick out what we need. It was December 23rd, Christmas had already arrived, but we still didn't have the main decoration.

"Look what a beautiful Christmas tree!" my wife said.

"Yes, it's like a forest beauty," I said with a smile.

"Maybe we should take the bigger one," my son said.

We wandered around the market for a while longer. It was frosty and snowing outside. Everyone was dressed warmly.

By the evening we found a beautiful Christmas tree and bought it. We decorated our home and new tree.

"Very good we made it in time for the holidays," my wife said the next morning.

Tales from childhood: There are all small details!

"The driver talked to us rudely" my son told me.

"Tell me; were you able to get to the right place with your friends?" I asked my son.

"Yes, dad, we got to the cinema safety." he answered me.

"That's the main thing. What he said isn't so important. So don't pay attention to such minor details." I said with a smile.

My son looked at me and thought, then raised his eyebrows and said:

"It's probably really not something to worry about"

"That's how it should be." my wife supported us.

I tell you all this, Mr. H.

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.

Hello, people! This is Mr. H. speaking. My son likes different sport games. He has a competition very soon.

"Remember, son, the main thing isn't winning, but participating." I told my son this and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, dad, that's exactly it. There's no need to worry about it." he said.

On the day of the competition, I was sitting in the spectators with my wife. We came to support our son.

"Come on, you can do it!" we shouted as our son confidently ran towards the goal with the ball.

My son took an honorable second place and I'm proud him!
