When I was a child, I was afraid  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas many things. I was afraid of the dark,  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas dogs, of older boys, even of people shouting.  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas mother was always trying to teach me not  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas be afraid.

When she was about fourteen, she  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas living in a small village. Her father often  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas people to spend an evening with him, for  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas liked to have people in his house. Once  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas travelling showman came to the village with a  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas that he called Mr. Martin. It was a  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas big bear, and it could dance, count and  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas other funny things. But the showman told the  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas not to come near the bear because it  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas dangerous.

My grandfather called my mother and sent  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas to take food to the bear. My mother  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas afraid. She did not know what to do.  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas did not know whether it was better to  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas "no" to her father or to go to  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas bear. She chose the bear, went out and  abearcloseddofineheherinvitedMyofpeoplesayShethetowas the door behind her.
