Astonishment When I was a child everything was amazing, I remember that all the things in my environment were awesome. A couple of boxes were a castle or maybe a building, a warrior toy was an incredible knight and even a broom or a mop could be a horse or a space rocket. It is amazing the things that the imagination can do. The strange is that today i see the same objects, and i can't imagine all those tales, and i ask to myself, why?. I haven't got the answer, but i thing that if we can recover that astonishment the world will be a happy place to live. What do you thing?

Astonishment

When I was a child, (I thought that) everything was amazing. I remember (thinking) that all the things in my environment were awesome. A couple of boxes were (could be) a castle or maybe a (some other type of) building, a warrior toy (toy warrior/action figure) was (could be) an incredible knight and even a broom or (a) mop could be a horse or (a) space rocket. It is amazing the things that the imagination can do (create) - [OR ...that the mind can imagine].

The strange thing is (It is strange to think) that today I see the(se) same objects, and I can't imagine all those tales (possibilities), and I (have to) ask to myself, why? I haven't got(ten) (come up with/discovered/found) the answer, but I think that if we can recover (rediscover) that astonishment the world will (would) be a happy (happier) place to live. What do you think?

- Well-written! Few mistakes!

- The underlined could be replaced with the words in brackets, but irrespective, it reads clearly.

i think it is because we already know what's the function of those thing and the reality we lived in. But nowadays, i find myself imagining something is happened in my environment, like if i stand at a hill, i can see a dog chasing a butterfly like its real, but it isn't. sometimes i find it amusing and laugh by myself, but sometimes it creepy and i have a goosebumps. Wait, is this out of the topic?
