Childhood is the happiest period in human life.
No responsibility, always having fun, drawing, singing, learning by heart was
easy and natural at that time. When I
was in primary school I had a friend who always had many crazy ideas. It was a
rainy but rather warm day. The playground of our school was still under
construction. Instead of children's playground there were some muddy hillocks covered
with slippery reddish clay. My friend came up with the idea to sledge down the
hillock on our schoolbags. I was doubtful but as she was quite clever and sly at
the age of 8 she managed to convince me. After half an hour of fun we decided
to stop because we were all smudged with clay, especially our shoes. Our
teacher noticed us through a class window and she called us and asked if we
wanted to rinse up our shoes a bit. We were grateful because we knew our
parents wouldn’t be in seventh heaven considering our state. So we cleaned our
shoes up and thanked our teacher and came back home.
Merry Xmas!
Thanks for Brenda Lee - I must say I haven't listened to her for years, but her voice never fails to amaze me.
