NAME:

the first by

Elias, that little piece of people, with the boldest face in the world, planted himself in front of his father, who was reading the newspaper:
– Dad, I'm already a man!
– You always were, my son. Ever since he was born - his father finally replied.
- I know it. I mean, I'm big now.
– I don't think you've grown much from yesterday to today… – said the father, looking the boy up and down.
– It's just that I'm… I'm…
- I already know. You mean you have become an adult.

– Yeah, that's right.
– And why do you my son think he became an adult from yesterday to today?
– Can you see it here? - And she pointed a black dot on her chin. – See?
- I do not see anything. Come closer. Ahnn! Am I seeing a little hair there?
– It's my beard, Dad. I am already a man.
– Why, my son! It's just a strand, and a strand doesn't make a whole beard. By the way, do you remember your grandmother, my mother? Grandma had a little mole on her chin and three strands of beard. Take a look: three wires. That's not why she said she was a man.
– But I'm already an adult… That's what you said. So I need an increase in my allowance, I want to be home late and take the key to the door.
'It's a pity, it's a pity…' her father lamented, shaking his head.
– Too bad what, Dad?
- Too bad, because I was going to give you a present now that you turn twelve. But… I need to change this.
– Change, Dad?
- Of course. When you were a boy, you were going to get a bike like that you always wanted. But, being a man, I'm going to give you a shaving device.
The boy leaned on one foot, then the other, deeply thoughtful. Ah! I was going to lose that dreamed bike! Resolved:
– Dad, let's do something. I leave it to be a man later and you give me the bike, right?
