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: Holidays in the city.

Hi, people! This is Timothy. I want to share with you one story. It happened when I was a teenager.

It was fall then. The other children at the orphanage had been taken away by relatives for the holidays, and I was left alone.

Then I realized I could go for a walk because no one would notice my absence. The adults wouldn't care! So, I decided to take advantage of this.

I took the necessary things and left the building. This was Friday. The weather was cloudy.

I rode on buses and trams. Everyone was in hurry. An hour and a half later I arrived in the center of a big city. And suddenly... it started raining heavily!

So, I ran into the subway. If it's raining outside, then I can be here. At the next station I saw my "blind love", she was playing the harp like an angel.

"Hi, how are you?" asked my neighbor.

"I live in an orphanage now." I said.

"Poor young man!" he said and sighed.

But I've already gotten used to this life. I enjoyed the freedom these past few days. I rode the metro. I ate a lot of different snacks. It was delicious!

Then the rain stopped and I went into city. I like the spot next to the fountain. I even put my hand in there. A passerby already gave me a sideways glance.

I remembered! I have to go back to the orphanage soon! I need to do this in advance.

I was late, but no one noticed.

Tales from childhood: Funny jokes.

 Sophie became a teenager. She did many different serious things. Sophie cooked dinners with her grandmother and watered flowers. When she was little she only played.

Also, several years ago little Sophie liked watch movies with stupid moments. She was sure that these jokes are funny and cool. Now if Sophie watched it she understood that these moments were very stupid. Mom and granny said that, too.

Sophie was interested in some TV shows. She watched some of them with her mother. On other programs, grandmother said that they shouldn't watch it. Mom agreed with her.

Little Sophie couldn't understand why the family said that it wasn't necessary to watch.

"Sometimes adults say that we shouldn't watch certain movies," Sophie said to Natalie.

"What if these movies and TV shows are really not so interesting? I somehow looked at one stupid movie myself and was disappointed." Natalie said.

Sophie considered the words of her friend. Maybe some programs are really not watching?
