Dear readers,

I love being around children¹! I learn a lot from them. Children make me notice² and appreciate³ things I never saw before. And also, children are endless source⁴ of cute and funny stories that sometimes make you stop and think about life. So from time to time I will be publishing these stories which I will call “Cute Kids Series”. Those are collection of real life situations recorded by different adults. Hope, you will enjoy reading it as much as I do⁵.

Discovery⁶ of Issac Newton

The teacher was teaching to the children the law of gravitation⁷ and how important⁸ it was to discover⁹ it. "Sir Isaac Newton was sitting on the ground, looking at the tree," she said, "an apple fell on his head, & from that he discovered gravitation. Just think, children," she added¹⁰ enthusiastically¹¹, "isn't that wonderful¹²?"

          One small boy replied, "Yes, and if he had been sitting in school looking at his books, he wouldn't never have discovered nothing!" J
