Children do not need to hide. If a child is happy, laughs; If it's sad, he cries; If you are angry, you get smelly. If you like you, it will notice you; If you don't like you, too. Children are how they are all the time. They do not feel indebted to anyone. As they think, they act. When have we stopped being children?
Children like to play. They play at home, on the street, in the park, in the courtyard of the school. If they are eating, they play with the spaghetti or fried potatoes. If they are in class, paper balls are thrown to each other. If they walk down the street, the sidewalk becomes a river or a bridge or a secret passage. When have we stopped being children?
Children are able to build the most powerful images, the most poetic metaphors. A girl can say that nothing is transparent, or that it rains so much that flowers are going to be born in the window, or that she would like to be a tree with numbers and letters in the branches and chocolate trunk.
