On a wonderful spring morning, I went with my friend Umiko to the yard sale in our dreamy little town. There were many interesting-looking clothes and antique items. As far as my eyes could see, small jewels were scattered on the tables in the yards of the townspeople, who were trying to promote their wares. As I walked a little further along the stalls, my eyes went to an old-looking book, which was entitled “History of Terraliens”. I flipped around a little at first, so Umiko approached me and asked me what I found beautiful. I told her about the book and showed her the cover and the first few pages of the book. I then grabbed my purse out of my pocket and finally paid the saleswoman the money value she told me. Small illustrations and decorations were placed in the book and on the cover. These were golden and looked very noble when you felt with your hand over them.
Umiko and I passed other tables, other old and dusty books, dresses with beautiful patterns and a stand with many small stone figures in the shape of small flowers. They would be the perfect decoration for my new home. Since I recently moved, I definitely need something new to decorate my place. We both bought a flower. Satisfied we went back to my home and looked at our purchased items. Umiko had apparently also bought something that looked like a small jewel. She had bought herself a beautiful amethyst, the size of her palm, which she was going to lay in her own apartment. In the evening we watched a funny movie together and then Umiko made his way back home. After Umiko left, I spent hours reading the old book “History of Terraliens”. There were really interesting stories about our ancestors and ancient customs and traditions. And after 2 hours as I continued reading, my eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, I fell asleep and dreamed of stone flowers and of my ancestors.
