This is an excerpt from the short play 'Dragoycho helps his grandfather', which I wrote especially for my son Oleg, who took part in it. The photo was taken in 1959 in Sofia. My son was shy and that's why I wrote this play for him. He learnt it by heart and acted out the lines of both the grandson and the grandfather.
My son was lazy; he didn't want to walk, only to sit in the baby carriage. When he grew up, he loved reading very much. He graduated from Medical University in Sofia and holds the professorship of Anesthesiology. He's an anesthesiologist now. Even when he was a student at university, Oleg was always the chairman of various scholarly circles.
