I learned to read at 4 years old. And only because one girl from the whole group, Marina, was able to read. There were always a lot of boys around her and she read them books from kindergarten shelves. I also wanted to gain popularity.

And then, when I learned to read the slogans, I took the same book in my hands that seemed to me the most interesting. I started reading, and the book was not about what Marina was reading. It turns out that she could not read at all, but could fantasize by looking at the illustrations.
