Already at the time when I was a child, my mother often spoke about Bulgaria.

- Bulgaria is the most beautiful land in the world, that is why all peoples envy us.

These words got into my mind then.
How did she know this ? She had never seen Bulgaria; what she knew from Bulgaria was only our small native town; neither had she read any book with the description of Bulgaria because at that time there wasn't any such book.Yet, she asserted this with such a confidence ! And I believed her.

In my delicate child's soul I very early inculcated the conviction that Bulgaria was the most beautiful land in the world. Which were "all those peoples that envied it" and how "did they envy"" - this I did not know and I did not ask myself. It was enough for me to know what I knew. And I was proud that we had such a land, that I was born in the most beautiful land and as I was pndifig on it, I began to love it.
