BEAUTIFUL OLD CUP
When I was young, my parents moved from California to Illinois with
me and my two sisters. We all helped my mother pack everything from
our old house into boxes. Inside three of the boxes were my
grandmother’s special cups, bowls and plates. They were special
because my grandmother, a clever artist, painted them herself with a
lovely pattern of blue flowers.
Sadly, one of those three boxes was lost. We never got the cups, but the
plates and bowls arrived safely. We used them on special days in the year, like birthday. We remembered
those cups and were sad that we did not have them any more.
Ten year later, I decided to go to university in California. In my first summer there, a friend asked me to
spend the day at an antique market with her. At first, I didn’t want to go, but I finally agreed and we had
a great day there looking around. There were many old and interesting things for sale. We were just
leaving when I saw a woman selling twelve beautiful cups with a pattern of blue flowers. I looked closely
and saw they were my grandmother’s cups!
