You decided to get married at 16... What is this? Childish self-affirmation, a stubborn desire to insist on one’s own, or an adult, conscious step? Do you feel like your older friend has betrayed you? Are you really right in not forgiving him? Why do rare signs of attention excite one person, touch a nerve, while the even, warm devotion of another leaves him indifferent? These and other problems are solved by the heroes of T. Ponomareva’s stories “Water Bull”, “The Sun is Yellow” dwarf”, “Difficult time for parrots”, etc. For middle and high school age.
