Family Game Night

There were a great many toys that I liked: bright dolls, balls, cars and teddy bears. But one toy I liked more than any other because it was memory about wonderful time. My granny loved me more than anyone else and she presented me the toy – teddy cat.

It was so nice: pink skin, hairy body, big green eyes. I walked with it, slept with it, ate with it. I was really happy with that toy. We often walked with my granny in our park and she told me funny stories about my cat Tom. For example, he was a hero who saved beautiful girl and kissed her. She became a princess and my nice cat Tom became a prince. When I grew up, I still remembered that story. I am very grateful to my granny for my nice childhood and I saved her stories in my mind. They teach to live, to understand, to create good. And my pink cat Tom is reminder of all this.
