En un día triste y aburrido, un hermano y una hermana prestan atención al consejo de su abuela:
«Utilicen esas mentes hermosas y brillantes que tienen. Alcen los brazos, cierren los ojos, respiren profundo y crean en algo. En algún lugar, en algún momento, alguien estuvo tan aburrido como ustedes ahora».

Y antes de que se den cuenta, su imaginación los eleva y los saca del aburrimiento. Luego, en un día lleno de peleas, siguen el consejo de Abuela y descubren que son capaces de dejar atrás su ira. Esta preciosa habilidad, les dice su abuela, se remonta a días mucho antes de que nacieran, cuando sus antepasados mostraron al mundo la fuerza y la resistencia de sus hermosas y brillantes mentes.


 

 

On a sad and boring day, a brother and sister heed their grandmother's advice:
"Use those beautiful and brilliant minds you have. Raise your arms, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and believe in something. Somewhere, at some point, someone was just as bored as you are right now."

And before they know it, their imagination lifts them up and lifts them out of boredom. Then, on a day full of fights, they follow Grandma's advice and find that they are able to put their anger behind them. This precious ability, their grandmother tells them, dates back to days long before they were born, when their ancestors showed the world the strength and resilience of their beautiful and brilliant minds.
