The wonderful simplicity of the toy
Clara was nine when his mother gave him a blue stick. It was a beautiful blue, true, but ultimately was a simple stick. No one could say that the gift fell within the category of "toys exciting." What could be done with a stick, "thought Clara. However, along with his cane, his mother gave him also a great book where each of the girls in the family that had this strange gift written for it used and how they played with him. His great-grandmother, for example, used it as a bridge hanging over a bottomless pit for training your mouse in the circus arts. His grandmother used the stick as a magic broom that you could get to the magical lands that otherwise would never have gone.
Her older sister, who was also owner of the stick he used as a secret extension of a brush with which he drew hearts in the most inaccessible parts of the house, all a secret that was never discovered, until now. When Clara closed the book he did with respect and affection, not sure why, but the feeling that now at hand a wonderful toy filled her with joy and expectation. "Where to keep my stick for sure," he thought and found no better place than a beautiful box from the same wonderful that was painted blue with a cane.
And, of other side of this picture book, woven exactly the same story with Eric instead of Clara and a box instead of the stick. Two stories that are attached to the end and understand each other. But the beauty of this book object gives way to two concepts equally beautiful and driven at least in these modern times. The children do not need toys to have fun artificially produced them, indeed, the more electronic and less preconceived purposes is strictly their capacity to awaken the imagination of its owner. And that any object can be liable for content, relevance and meaning, and that once enriched allow us to approach and meet people deeply around us and we, even those who are no longer with us.
