Welcome to this new story, which teaches us the importance of spending time with loved ones. Stay with us and let yourself be carried away by the magic. Sofia is 12 years old and lives in the city. During the summer, she goes to visit her grandmother in the countryside. Her grandmother's house is big, with a beautiful garden full of flowers. Sofia loves to stay there. Every day, her grandmother prepares a hot tea, and the two sit together. One day, her grandmother takes a handful of wool and irons. Do you want to learn how to work in a shirt? She asks. Sofia is curious and says yes. At the beginning, it's difficult. The irons seem heavy, and Sofia often makes mistakes. But her grandmother is patient. Don't worry, dear. You learn everything with time. Every afternoon, Sofia and her grandmother work in a shirt. Sofia learns how to make small stitches, and then bigger stitches. While they work, her grandmother tells stories of her youth. She talks about when she was a child, about how she played with her friends, and about how she met her grandfather. Sofia listens carefully. After a few weeks, Sofia becomes better. She and her grandmother decide to make a big blanket. They use wool of many colors. Blue, red, yellow, and green. Each piece of the blanket has a story. The blue piece reminds of the sea. Her grandmother tells of a special holiday she had with Sofia when she was younger. Do you remember when we went to the sea together? You were only five years old. We built sandcastles and collected shells. You laughed so much when a wave wet your feet. Sofia smiles. Yes, I remember. It was beautiful. The green piece represents the fields. Her grandmother talks about the meadow behind the house. When I was young, I ran in the fields with my brothers. They were full of flowers and butterflies. You also love the fields, don't you? Every morning we go to see the flowers in the garden. Sofia snores. It's my favorite moment of the day. The red piece reminds of a special holiday. This red wool comes from a sweater I made for your grandfather. Her grandmother says. It was for a village holiday many years ago. There were lights, music and dances. It was one of the most beautiful evenings of my life. Sofia looks at her grandmother curiously. Did you dance a lot, grandmother? Her grandmother laughs. Oh yes, all night long. At the end of the summer, the blanket is ready. Every color tells a story. Sofia is very proud. It's beautiful! She says. Her grandmother smiles and hugs Sofia. Now you have something that reminds you of this summer and all our stories. When Sofia returns to the city, she brings the blanket with her. She puts it on the bed and thinks of her grandmother.
