Tales from childhood: The secrets of the town.

“I live here many years,” Mrs. Anne said.

It was true. An elderly woman lived for many years in a small suburb of a large city. Perhaps over the years Mrs. Anne knew things that other residents didn’t.

There was even a case where a resident of a big city was found in the suburb. Her family was very happy!

Sophie and her friends visited many different places in the suburb. Also, they visited a big city often.

There was a secret place in Mrs. Anne’s house that only a few people knew about.

Delphi.

Delphi (Δελφοί) or Pytho (Πυθώ) was a town in Ancient Greece. 

There are myths and legends about this place. 

Different parts of Delphi belonged to different gods and goddesses.

Gaia gave her share to Themis. Then Themis gave Apollo. In Delphi there were Apollo's temples.

Also, there were works of Hephaestus (Ἥφαιστος).

Tales from childhood: New buildings in the town.

Sophie lived in the suburb. Some people even called it a city. There you could get on a bus and get to the capital in ten minutes.

But the suburbanites were proud of what they had: parks, theatres, museums, cafes, and their own symbols. Little Sophie often saw her town in the school books. The history teacher would often tell the story of the suburb. 

Sophie and her grandmother regularly went to parades and celebrations in the center of a small suburb.

One day, Sophie noticed that construction had begun.

"Grandma, look here are building new buildings," little Sophie said.

"Yes, new interesting places will soon be built here," granny said.

Three months later, beautiful buildings and symbols of the city appeared in the center of the suburb.

Once at school, the students and the teacher decided to discuss these new buildings. Sophie said that she liked it. Others liked them, too. Also, the teacher said that there are beautiful places in her village.

Tales from childhood: Visit to new countries.

 Sophie lived in her town. It was her Motherland. She was born here, little Sophie had many friends in this town. She didn't think about other places.

Once Mrs. M. and Sophie knew that Natalie visited other countries. This was a tour trip.

"I wonder how people live in other countries?" Sophie asked.

"Probably it's different and wonderful there," Mrs. M. said.

A few day later Natalie returned and told about that place.

"These countries are quite, similar to ours. Only there the weather is warmer." Natalie said about her journey.

Sophie thought that she should go to a new place, too. At least to a neighboring town.

Tales from childhood: Trip to a new forest.

 Sophie and her granny decided to go to their neighboring town. It was a cool idea! This place had many things for them.

"We went to the forest in the town," grandmother said.

"I'm very glad about it!" little Sophie said.

It was quite interesting there, they explored new places in the forest. The forest in Sophie's town was different. But there were some similar things. The trees were of a different kind. The lake was quite far away. The birds sang as beautifully as in the forest of Sophie's town.

Also, Sophie and her grandmother met people from the town. They told them funny stories. Little Sophie and granny were laughing.

Then they said goodbye and went home.

"It's good that I met such people!" Sophie thought.

She wrote an essay about this trip.
