"If you listen to…"

Summary

It seems like invisible tigers are chasing the adults — that's what Petya thinks, the boy who always has to run after his parents. But he doesn't want to run. That's why he's glad that his Granny's coming. Now they can walk slowly along the sea. During these walks Petya hears the stories that stones tell him. The stories about family bonds, expressing the emotions, about wisdom and sensibility.

After Granny's departure Petya and his Dad are coming home. Petya's backpack is full of stones which he's made friends with — so he can't go fast. Along with Petya his Dad slows down and finally notices the smell of the air, the sea-like noise of the road and the colors of the sunset sky. Now they will walk along the sea not only with Granny.

A story for children (6+) and adults, by Anna Shcherbina.
