It was a grey rainy day. Jane was in and was searching the shelves for something to read. Granny was having a nap in the armchair. Jane came across a thick and heavy album with old photos. It definitely wasn't the thing to cure her boredom, but, nevertheless, she looked through several pages.

“Who is he?” Jane asked her grandmother, pointing to a photo of a handsome man with a thick moustache and a square beard. “My uncle,” replied the grandmother, “he was a sailor. He had left home before I was born. He went to America to dig for gold. People said he had made a fortune there, but he gambled and died penniless. He had an Indian wife and three daughters. One of them, extremely beautiful, became a film star.”

“And what about this lady?” Jane moved to a photo of a pretty woman in a lovely old-fashioned cap with ribbons. “My Nanny,” the grandmother gave a mild little smile. “She was French, from a noble family. In her early years she fell desperately in love with a young officer. Her parents did not approve of their marriage and she escaped from home, in a man's dress and under a false name, to follow that man. However, he was killed in one of the battles quite soon, and she found herself alone, in a foreign country. She had to work as a nanny to save some money for the trip back. That is how she entered our house. We loved her very much and finally she decided to stay with us.”

Jane felt more and more interested. “And look, this is me ... in a fancy dress!” “No,” laughed the grandmother. “This is me, in my favourite dress. It was given to me for my fifth birthday.” Jane had a strange feeling as if the waves of memories were passing through the room. Her family story was turning into something alive and extremely exciting...

My great-aunt Elara was a fascinating woman. She always had a twinkle in her eye and a colourful scarf around her neck. When she was young, after finishing art school, she felt a strong desire to see the world. Her parents wanted her to settle down and teach, but Elara dreamt of painting vibrant landscapes and bustling city scenes. She saved every penny from her small part-time jobs and eventually bought a one-way ticket to Italy. She spent years living in Florence, painting by day and selling her artwork to tourists in the evenings. She made many friends and even learned to speak Italian fluently. One day, she met a charming musician in a small café, and they traveled across Europe together for a whole year. She sent postcards with beautiful drawings back home, telling tales of ancient ruins and delicious food. Even though she eventually returned home to live a more settled life, she never lost her adventurous spirit. Her apartment was filled with her paintings and souvenirs from her travels, each one a reminder of a life fully lived.

Вот вымышленная история:

Моя двоюродная бабушка Элара была удивительной женщиной. У нее всегда был озорной блеск в глазах и красочный шарф на шее. Когда она была молода, после окончания художественной школы, она почувствовала сильное желание повидать мир. Ее родители хотели, чтобы она остепенилась и стала учителем, но Элара мечтала рисовать яркие пейзажи и шумные городские сцены. Она копила каждую копейку со своих небольших подработок и в конце концов купила билет в один конец в Италию. Она провела годы, живя во Флоренции, рисуя днем и продавая свои работы туристам по вечерам. Она завела много друзей и даже научилась свободно говорить по-итальянски. Однажды она встретила очаровательного музыканта в маленьком кафе, и они целый год путешествовали вместе по Европе. Она отправляла домой открытки с красивыми рисунками, рассказывая истории о древних руинах и вкусной еде. Хотя в конце концов она вернулась домой, чтобы жить более оседлой жизнью, она никогда не теряла своего авантюрного духа. Ее квартира была заполнена ее картинами и сувенирами из путешествий, каждый из которых напоминал о полной жизни.
