With blond curls and green eyes, with hands not larger than a tea cup, with teeth that were just grown and with sparkling eyes that could only enjoy walks and leaves and flowers, the mother's hair, or rain. Though not aware of how many dangers a world without questions might hide, though never being left unprotected by dust of time or wind, she could be aware of change. She simply wondered through flowerbeds, starting her glance through the grandparent's lavender garden. The reward was close. The main goal was to reach the roses and happily return with a flower for grandma.
