Tales from childhood: Value and respect.

Sophie knew many different people. They have different characters. She knew their situations.

Her friends told her how important it is to be polite.

“Sophie, you must be kind to people.” Natalie said.

Sophie listened to these words.

“Also, you must remember that there are things which have simple structure. This is something you shouldn’t take seriously.” Sophie’s mother said.

Mom is right here. There are things and people that you shouldn’t pay attention to because it’s not worth my time. Besides, she herself had already become disappointed in some things.

The opposite happens, too. When a person is condemned when shouldn't be done. For example, it was in vain that the wife didn’t support Timothy.

Tales from childhood: The main point.

Sophie had her own views on different things. Sometimes even her grandmother didn't understand her. At the same time, Sophie often said truthful phrases. But still she wanted to know the answers to some different questions.

Many people wanted to know why Timothy goes out late at night and even in an iron mask. Some admitted that they "accidentally" saw him without an iron mask.

One of them was a boy of nine years old. He studied well, also, attended different school sections. Despite all this, he later couldn't sleep all night when the child saw from the window in the evening a young man without face. He was very impressionable.

The little son of Raymond, and his independent eight-year-old niece have long seen Timothy without an iron mask.

"Grandma, why do people react so differently to Timothy's appearance?" Sophie asked.

"We are all different and react differently to different life situations." granny answered.

Tales from childhood: Discussion about important things.

 "If you agree with something, then explain why you're sticking to it," the teacher said.

The children thought about these words for a long time. They had their own personal convictions, children's opinions varied on different issues.

Once Sophie read a story about how to act in a life situation. There people talked about their decision at that moment. With some she agreed, and with some she didn't, but little Sophie didn't condemn anyone.

Another girl decided to express her opinion in writing. She saw only one side of the situation.

People talked her that everything wasn't so one sided and asked for arguments about statements. Little girl had her own point of view, she didn't want to change it. Her arguments were opinion based.

But after a while, a more mature young woman explained everything to her. Also, she told the little girl how to argue and make arguments.

"How instructive that is." Sophie thought.

Now, before she says ore writes something, Sophie always asks adults.

One day children talked about their old things. Somebody played with them, somebody just admired.

"I like my old dollhouse," Sophie said.

"It's strange! I prefer new toys!" Kate said.

It just seemed strange to that girl. She liked fashionable things.

Little Sophie didn't change her mind. She had her own point of view. Sophie valued her old dollhouse.

 When Sophie was a little child, she was very greedy. Simply, she couldn't understand many things, Sophie liked her toys. Little Sophie liked to play with her new toys in different places. Maybe other children wanted to play with her toys, too.

"You're a greedy girl," some child said.

"I love my own things!" Sophie said.

Suddenly Sophie understood one important thing. If she valued her toys, she had to leave them at home.

So, Sophie decided to leave her new toys at home. She played with these toys alone. Or with Natalie if she visited her.
