9. There was one, there won't be another and no one will miss her… The children - owl eyes, big elephant ears - held their breath: another magical grandmother's tale was about to begin.
10. There was one, there won't be another and no one will miss her. She herself wrote her epitaph in a fit of pride and sadness. And she put an end to the story that no one let her start.
ADULT CATEGORY – IN ENGLISH ( "Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board"):
Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. Love, hate, ambition, revenge are sailing away. Longings aimless. Heart castaways and future forgotten dreams floats.

1. The sun did not shine it was too wet to play so we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. And all we could say, sitting there in the rain, was always the same: we don't want to stay we want to leave and be free again.
2. The sun did not shine it was too wet to play so we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. We wanted to go, but had to stay, sitting inside watching the rain. Then the clouds went away and the bright Sun warmed us again.
3. The sun did not shine it was too wet to play so we sat in the house all that cold, cold, wet day. We wanted to go, but had to stay, sitting inside watching the rain. Then the clouds went away and happy again we shouted hurray.
