Tales from childhood: Mrs. Anne and worries.

Mrs. Anne was a good old woman. She never took offense at anyone. Also, Mrs. Anne forgave everything. It was her age wisdom.

This old woman often worried about those who were suffering. Mrs. Anne felt how unhappy other people were and tried to support them.

For example, once a boy had a toothache, and he treated it for a very long time. Then she talked about it more than anyone else, some children didn’t even understand why the old woman was so worried.

“It’s good that there are, such kind, people as Mrs. Anne, such people are needed by society,” Sophie’s mother said.  

At that moment, Sophie began to understand the wisdom of the old woman.
