$13.59

La abuela Clara y otras se reúnen a bordar, tejer y a hablar en voz alta, todas al mismo tiempo. Cierta vez su nieta Mónica y sus amigas deciden cambiar un momento sus lentes con los de las ancianas. Cuando se colocan los lentes cambiados, las abuelas empiezan a saltar, correr tras los gatos, dar brincos por toda la sala, meter los dedos en la nariz. Las niñas, a su vez, miran el mundo con los ojos de las ancianas: una mezcla de perfume de violeta, manjar de leche y helado de chocolate; y sienten unas ganas inmensas de querer a todo el mundo.

 

English Description:

Grandma Clara and others gather to embroider, knit, and talk out loud, all at the same time. One time, her granddaughter Monica and her friends decided to change their glasses for a moment with those of the old ladies. When the changed glasses are put on, the grandmothers begin to jump, run after the cats, jump around the room, stick their fingers in their noses. The girls, in turn, look at the world with the eyes of old women: a mixture of violet perfume, milk delicacy and chocolate ice cream; and they feel an immense desire to love everyone.
