when I was about 4 - 5 years old a nurse in the ospital told me that if I won't eat the hospital's awful dinner
or any other dish I'll be so light that I'll start flying to the sky like a baloon and I'll die and that no one will help me - the polish reality is awful because no one cares about children goodness:-(
