A Toy

When I was child I had a lot of toy soliders. They were of green color, I remember had about 100 toy soliders including tanks, trenches, officers and submachine guns.  I played to war in the garden of my house. In certain occasions my dog ​​Toby was a kind of godzilla and the soliders fought againts Toby for the domain of the garden. My dog ​​killed a lot of soliders with his sharp teeth but this toys were very cheap, I could replace the fallen soldiers for others like the real soldiers of the real wars.

I played with toy soldiers when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I liked to play with my imagination, I devise war strategies and stories about the soldiers. Playing for my was very seriously,  I hated when my parents interrupted me with their adults world. In those years I watched a lot of films of the First World War. I think that this was the reason of my obsecion with the toy soliders.

The toy soldiers managed to stimulate my imagination and interest for the war history. Then when I was 8 years old my father bought a computer with video games. This was the end of my imagination.
