Time changes everything: from plants and cars to buildings and human faces. Sometimes, to make visible changes, it takes several weeks or months, and sometimes the changes take place over the years, dozens of years. But nobody was able to resist the onslaught of time.
Here are some of the most striking examples of amazing time works.
1. The brother appeared in 1985. To his birth, my mother bought two identical teddy bears. One brother played all his childhood, and the second was kept in a secluded place for thirty years, until the birth of his first brother's child. These are the cubs.
