• Grandmother

    Andersen's Fairy Tales
    Imagine a grandmother with hair as white as freshly fallen snow, and eyes that sparkled with kindness, like little blue forget-me-nots. Her face had many tiny lines, like a map of all the happy smiles she had shared. This grandmother was so very gentle, and everyone who knew her loved her dearly.

    She knew the best stories, the ones that made you giggle and the ones that made you dream. She could knit the softest scarves and bake the yummiest cookies. Her garden was always full of colorful flowers, just like her heart was full of love.

    One day, this dear grandmother grew very quiet and still. Her eyes, which had always looked out with such love, gently closed. It was as if she had fallen into the most peaceful sleep.

    And on her face, there was the sweetest, calmest smile. It was as if she was dreaming of all the beautiful things she had seen and all the love she had given. Her silver hair lay softly around her head, and she looked so serene.

    People looked at her, and even though they were sad, they also felt a warm feeling. They remembered her gentle hands, her soft voice, and the way she always knew how to make things better. They said, "She looks so beautiful, so peaceful." And it was true. Even in her long sleep, her kindness shone through.

    And though she wasn't there to hug them anymore, her love felt like a warm blanket, wrapped around everyone who knew her. Her stories and her smiles lived on in their hearts, bright and clear, just like the memory of her kind, sparkling eyes.
