This drawing is part of my contribution to Gracia's collective noun project: "A cache of jewels"
La historia cuenta:
Gracia era una chica triste, o eso creía la gente. Cuando caminaba auténticas gemas cosidas a su falda sonaban al rozarse. Todo el mundo volvía la cabeza cuando ella pasaba. “Ahí va Gracia, la chica triste”. Sin embargo, pocos sabían que tras la tristeza se escondía la timidez. Un día, paseando del brazo de su madre, Gracia escuchó una música alegre saliendo de una ventana abierta. No pudo resistir el impulso y comenzó a bailar. Primero tímidamente, luego con entusiasmo y espontaneidad. Según bailaba una sonrisa la iluminaba, mientras las gemas cosidas a su vestido iban cayendo con sus movimientos. Esas joyas hicieron felices a muchos de los que la siguieron.
Fin
So the story goes:
Gracia was a sad girl, or that's what people believed. Authentic gems sewn to her skirt chimed as she walked . Everybody turned their heads when she passed. “There goes Gracia, the sad girl”. Few knew that her sadness was hiding her shy nature. One day, taking a walk with her mom, Gracia listened to a lively music coming through an open window. She couldn't help her first impulse and started dancing. First timidly, but soon enough with esthusiasm and spontaneity. As she danced a smile illuminated her, while the gems sewn to her dress began to fell after her. Those jewels made many of those who followed her that day very, very happy ever after.
The end
Today's music:
The Beatles, The Kinks...
