Sample Answer:
Well, talking about anything pertaining to childhood makes me nostalgic. Just like others, it was
the golden phase of my life, and memories related to it would always hold a special place in my
heart.
When talking about childhood, nothing could be more precious than a bewildering
collection of toys I had.
Since I was the first child in my clan, both maternal and paternal, I was fortunate enough to have
a gamut of toys, including dolls, stuffed animals, building blocks, puzzles, handmade toys, board
games,
small vehicles, and many more.
However, out of all, the one that was extremely close to my heart
was a handmade stuffed
caricature of Noddy, which my grandfather gifted me on my 10th birthday.
Back in the day, I was a cartoon fanatic. I used to watch varying
animated shows for hours
altogether. During the weekends, it was nothing but arduous to take away the remote control
from me. Amongst others, I used to watch Noddy In Toyland for a long period of time. I was
fascinated by all of the characters, especially Noddy, Tessie Bear, and Big Ears. I was awestruck
by how Noddy managed to do everything on his own.
So, this one time, when my grandfather asked what I wanted to be, I said that I wanted to be
Noddy in a jiffy. Just a few days later, on my
birthday morning, I saw a large gift-wrapped box in
my room. I wanted to open it that instant, but out of the blue, all my family members started to
sing a birthday song.
Gauging my inquisitiveness, my grandpa asked me to unwrap it. I was over the moon to see my
favourite toy. I was extremely ecstatic about this toy and used to play with it all the time.
