I remember that my first contact with the writing was about twenty years ago, when I was six and I was in first grade in primary school. All those days where full of lines and suddenly we started to write short dictations that Miss Torres took from "Aesop's fables", once she had read one.
I remember that I really enjoy when she told us fables. And, finishing first grade, I thought a fable was a short story that gave you a message and it did not matter whether the main character was or not an animal. That is why when I had to write "My own fable", at the end of first grade, I write something like: "Once upon a time a little girl wanted to play in the park but her mom did not let her go out, then the little girl decided to go to the park on her own, and when she was swinging she fell and as a result she died".
The next day Miss Torres sent a note to my mom, she wanted to talk to her about me, because she thought it was not normal that a little boy wrote negative things like that. I felt very bad, I thought I was silly or something, my mom did not tell me anything about it, but I learnt there are a lot of things you cannot say because other people do not like, moreover when you are in school you have to write what your teacher expects.
