“Mom, are we going to Grandma’s this summer?” Emma asks as she gets the table ready for dinner.
“Of course,” her mom says with a smile.
Their family has a special tradition—spending summers at Grandma’s. During that time, they always share stories and enjoy time with one another.
One day this summer, Emma and her cousins go up to the attic. There, they find a box. Inside are some old letters. The letters look like they have stories to tell.
Emma and her cousins start reading them. The words take them back to the time when their grandparents were still young and starting their lives. The letters talk about their love, problems, and the things that are important to them. These letters are like windows, showing how her family has changed over the years.
Emma is excited and tells her parents about what she finds. Her mother says these letters are special, connecting the family’s past to its present. Emma feels closer to her family as she reads more letters. Each letter adds(增加)more to their family story.
As summer goes on, it's time for the goodbye dinner. At dinner, Grandma shares stories about her childhood, making the past come alive for everyone. Emma listens closely and feels warm inside. Before they leave, Grandma gives Emma a letter. It's from her great-grandparents. It's about their dreams for the future and how much family means to them.
Over the years, Emma holds on to the wisdom(智慧)from the letters. She sees the box of letters as a connection between different times in her family. When she reads them, she feels strong, knowing her family is always there for her. Every time she opens the box, she thinks about the stories that future generations(后代)will add and the wisdom that will be passed down.
