The house is shaking, the books are falling from the shelves, The furniture is moved on the rug, and the heart of someone who is hiding behind the couch, beating so quickly like a sparrow .
Grandma spins her cotton rag in space, the dust swirls around little Parmis happily, she sneezes. " oh, no! " , she says, her sneeze crushing the kittens' nap.
Armis comes toward her with excitement, and says :" I found you, Parmis! "
Parmis comes out from her den, and tells : " the dust always makes me sneeze."
Grandma tells:" why don't you play in the garden?"
Parmis pointed at the cluttered room and answers :" here's the best place for hide-and-seek."
Spring Cleaning
A few Weeks later Nowruz ( " Iranian's New Year") will come, so grandma cleans her house like other Iranians, of course her daughters and her grandchildren (!!!) help her.
Find her den
Some minutes later the little girls leave their footprints on the white marble , and leave the kitchen with disappointment , Mino is neither inside the refrigerator , nor inside the washing machine, so they should seek another site.
It's so dismal, aunt Sami's broom and the ground are singing a loving song together.
