After years of taking me by the hand and walking me to school, one day they sat me down, gave me the house keys and said, "Be very careful with these; don't give them to anyone, take the route we showed you, be at home at the time we said, cross at the corner, and look both ways before you cross, and no matter what, don't talk to strangers."
Pēc tam, kad vairākus gadus biju gājis vecākiem pie rokas, mani todien apsēdināja, iedeva mājas atslēgas un teica: „Sargā tās, nevienam nedod, ej un nāc atpakaļ pa ceļu, ko tev rādījām, esi mājās laikus, uz stūra pārej pāri ielai, pirms tam paskaties uz abām pusēm, un, galvenais, nerunā ar svešiniekiem!”
