The two sisters, whispering in an unfamiliar tongue, stood apart from the rest of the children at recess time. A lone, blonde-haired kindergartner approached, determined to transcend the language barrier.
"Corinne," said the kindergartner, pointing to herself.
"Svetlana," said one sister.
"Katya," said the other.
All three girls beamed, and a friendship began.
Thanks for the example of children.

ReplyDeleteWell, I do use delightful and Ivy's right - this is just delightful. And it makes me sad because right now, little girls and friendship are not working anything like that in our world. Sigh.

Oh, I'm sorry. Little girl friendships can be so complicated sometimes, too. I hope that things work out!
DeleteIf grownups could only learn from children and animals. Great story.
