M. Daneri
My name is Tommy. I am five years old. I don’t have a
brother or a sister. I like to play a lot. My grandmother
was an artist; she painted with many colors all the time.
My grandmother liked to play with me. She gave me a blank sheet of paper and let me draw by her side.
I always spied on her and copied what she drew.
One day we invented a very funny game: she would draw a sun
for me every morning. When I woke up, I had to find it
and tell its color.
One day, Granny drew me a sun... and it was red!
I had breakfast and then left for kindergarten.
The next morning, I found another sun. This
time… it was orange! What a beautiful sun!
Granny was very sweet. She was as sweet as honey. Her
cheeks were pink and warm. I liked to give her lots of kisses.
She tasted like pumpkin pie!
She always said I draw pretty suns and stars.
One day, when I woke up, I was dazzled by something.
I opened the window and I found out it was the sun
that my granny had given me that morning.
But it was... yellow!
It was still dark when I woke up another day, and
I found a surprise... Granny had drawn a star and a
white moon for me.
Oh, Granny Gloria! I went over to her bed and gave her a
“thank you” kiss.
