Child prodigy

During many years children prodigy impressed humanity when the majority of ordinary people were doing nothing but playing their games. Children prodigies have supernatural abilities, understand the essence of things, and are experts from the first days of their lives. These are the young geniuses that are born rarely and are able to solve very complicated mathematical tasks and to make unusual symphonies and lots of other things.
Zera Colbern born in 1804 was able to count how many seconds 12 years have and it took him only four seconds. Mozart played the violin perfectly as well as the piano when he was only three years old. Arthur Greenwood knew the alphabet not being even a year. But these children had to pay high price for these extraordinary talents and gifts.
Popularity of the majority of children prodigies was very short and they disappeared from the world history not making their dreams come true. Some of them died being very young, In many cases children prodigies were tortured till death because their parents were making them study instead of paying attention to the simple joys of childhood.
It was found that children-geniuses are often boys and are rarely girls. Doctors consider that supernatural abilities are the result of high level of hormone in some glands. However some children prodigies have become the decoration of the world arts and literature but they are very rare.
