Tuesday 2nd January 2024 Today is the birthday of a Perfect Sister: Beatrice VACCARI.

Ibolachi, friends of the Wondering Wandering Writer! To celebrate the birthday of a musician from Novara, can we donate a small amount of money to UGI Novara? They help the family members of the kids who are passing through tough moments and they always need support from everyone! Trust me, Beatrice Vaccari is a lovely woman and she will apprecciate any donations to help children!

The fairytale I translated in English for today it is alays from the book my aunt Maria Teresa gave me as a present for Father's day in 1990! I hope you enjoy it!

Before dinner, the children were playing on the lawn, when the little bird flew towards them and chirped: "Come with me, I want to reward you for giving me back my freedom." Intrigued, Lisa and Walter followed their friend through the forest until they came to a clearing. There they saw Sabbiolino. Some gnomes were carrying sand for him. Then Walter exclaimed: "Maybe we can help them!" And being two good children, the gnomes took them with them into the mountain. There, in a cave, piles of sand glittered like pure gold. Each child filled a sack with it, and then the little sandman let them accompany him on his tour. They crossed roads and villages, woods and lakes. They scattered the golden sand in the eyes of the little Indians, Chinese, of all the peoples of the world. At the end of their journey, Lisa and Walter fell sound asleep in their beds.
