Expanding Horizons Through Childhood Encounters

A Childhood Encounter and Its Impact on Perspective

During a memorable childhood moment, the storyteller recounts an encounter with a boy of similar age, which left a lasting impression. The boy, notably, was celebrating his 11th birthday—that was the occasion when they met. What made this meeting unique was how they tried to communicate the concept of age, especially from the child's perspective. Instead of standard years, the boy described himself as being “120 moons old,” which translates to roughly 10 years old.
