", or, "I wasn't even born when this story happened, so don't blame me if I don't get it right... “Your turn; change the opening, will you?

This is a story about character and determination. No beautiful towns, no bords, farm animals in a cozy village next to a beautiful river on a shinny hill. No handsome prince, no attractive princess. Just crude and raw day-to-day issues of life that would make you think how fortunate you are to live in different times...
