“I am washing onions.”
“Are you crying over the onions?”
“I am not crying now. Why are you saying that?”
“I’m just joking! Oh, your mum is waiting for you in the library.”
“We are finishing here. I’ll be there in several minutes’
“Ok. Tommy, what is your favourite food?”
“Pancakes.”
“Oh, I adore pancakes! Do you prefer eating them with sour cream or honey?”
“Both.”
“What about chocolate?! Don’t you like it?”
“I do.”
“Tommy,..”
“Lilly, please, let me finish preparing vegetables for the stew!”
“Let me help you, Tom.”
“Thanks, I’ll do it myself.”
“Have you tasted this mushroom soup? Oh!..”
When Lilly was trying to smell it, she turned the bowl upside down by accident. The girl was standing, staring at the puddle of soup on the floor and at her wet clothes. She was so embarrassed that didn’t know what to say.
“You see? You are always making a mess, silly-billy!”
Her cousin said it with a smile, and then they started to laugh.
“Tommy, I’ll help you later by all means!”
“O, no! Don’t distract me anymore!”
Granny helped Lilly to wipe her hands and sent the little girl to change her clothes.
The process of making tea was pure magic. Granny Kate had her secret recipe to mix some herbs and berries, fragrant dry leaves, pomegranate grains and ginger, orange peels and candied fruit. It looked like boiling a potion. This brew was a remedy for all diseases. After drinking it, Tommy was full of energy and ready to discover some wonders of the house, exploring room after room.
