Tales from childhood: Before and after.

Good afternoon, people! I'm Timothy. I'm an orphan boy. I already said that I have become accustomed to my status.

"Your mother is very far away from you now. You can't call her or write a letter." someone told me.

I think my mother knows that I was able to find friends in the orphanage. Although of course I have problems, I solve them.

When I had a mother, I was a mama's boy. Then my mother died under unclear circumstances. Immediately I found myself here and I had to come to terms with a lot of things.

I had to stand up for myself in the group. No one was protecting me anymore.

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!

Delicious things.

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: 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.

Tales from childhood: Point of view.

 "You can hear people around. But you must have your own opinion. Always." Sophie's mother said.

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.

It was a very beautiful toy! Looked like a Medieval castle. Many different dolls lived there. Sophie created interesting stories about this place.

She felt that she lived with her characters in that castle.

Tales from childhood: The things.

 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.

"Julia's grades were high," the principal said.

At the same time, the teacher showed the children her own school notes. Everything was written in beautiful handwriting. The teachers and the principal were proud.

After school, Julia studied in college. There she met Anton and friends. But just Anton became Julia's best friend. Maybe their friendship was more than simple friendship.

Sophie and her classmates saw Julia. She went somewhere. Julia had a handbag. She called someone on her cell phone.

"Julia is an amazing young woman!" Beth admired.

Maybe she was a good example for Beth.

On the weekend Sophie saw Anton and Julia in the center of town. They walked together. At this moment little Sophie understood that someone is always an example for another person.
