Today is history
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006 at 7:40 pm by Saltanat KubanychbekovnaToday in Talas the American flag came down at the base. I did not see it, nobody in Kyzyl-Adyr saw it, we saw it on the television in the teachers' room during the long break. Then the bell rang and I had the 8th class.
I did not know what to say. So I wrote the date on the board, 3.12.2006, and under it: "Today is history." A boy asked: "Saltanat eje, will it be in the test?" Maybe in ten years, I said. Open your exercise books.
We did the same, Saltanat. I wrote the date and then I stood there. The children waited very politely.
