A day at the forest

The memories of childhood ultimately become the life long memory which
always brings a smile on our faces. Only the grownups know the real value of childhood
because the children do not everytime understand these things.
I grew up in a little town, called Boiu, which is placed in the South part of Bihor
County. It’s a small village with 700 very goodhearted people. My parents just moved
there after that i was born, because their parent lived there too. It is a very quiet place, not
so far from the village it is a forest and the Crisul-Negru river. I used to know everyone
in the village and everybody helped each-other.
My grandparents house was a real playground for me, because me and my brother
explored every corner of the house. Their house was not so far from our house, so i went
to my grandparent very often.
Even if I was a little girl, I liked to explore alone the beauty of the nature, to go
out alone, my parents always were worried about me, because i didn’t tell them where
was i going. One day, my father took me and my brother to the forest, and let me see how
is it from the inside. There were a lot of small wild animals.
I can only remember the thing that we went here with bikes, and there everything
was green, and the trees were very tall. I don’t know exactly if we had a picnic here or
some activities, but i know i ate some dogberries. And i was really afraid, because I
didn’t knew if it is eatable or toxic. My father calmed and me and said that it is eatable. It
has a very good taste and we took some dogberries with us for my mom.
That place was really nice, even if I remember fondly, I remember that I felt here
very good. Maybe I’ll go back there someday.
