When I was a little child my mother read meséket ………… (1) to me every night. My favourite tale was Hófehérke és a hét törpe …..…………… (2) and I always thought that I was Tudor ………… (3) in the tale. When I learnt to read I became a real bookworm and I went to the library every week. I read a lot of longer tales like Micimackó …………… (4), Óz, a nagy varázsló ….……………. (5), Aliz Csodaországban ……….………….(6). Watching cartoons was a different experience. I was glued to the screen for hours completely immersed in the story of Szilaj ………… (7) Hupikék törpikék …………., (8) Oroszlánkirály ……………… (9).

Now that I’m a mother of a five-year-old son I enjoy reading out tales just like my mother did when I was little. My son’s favourite tale is Piroska és a farkas ……………. (10), we have read it about a million times. Both of us know it by heart. His favourite cartoon character is Spongyabob, kockanadrág ……………, (11) and though he is a boy, he also adores Csingiling …………….. (12).
