Spring snow

My grandmother with a bright face was looking at me and eating mint pies. While smiling at her, I woke up from the light falling into my eyes. My mother did not even hear my voice because she was immersed in household chores. 

Approaching her, I said: «Oh, oh, it’s spring season, the mints are now green. If I pick mints from the garden, let’s make mint pies and come see my grandmother?» My mother said in a sad voice: «Since the beginning of spring, the snow has covered the area again with its clothes. It’s a pity that we can’t pick mints.» 

As I look out the window in surprise, it is hard to believe, it cannot even be called spring snow. Is it like the frosty days of winter? To my mother in a strict tone: I will pick mints, you will make pies, we will go to see my grandmother. 

Despite calling my mother after me, I went out with the basket. I went to the garden and started looking for mint on the edge of the ditch. Water-soaked mints bent under the snow lay along the stream. «I found it», «I found it» and started gathering them. 

When I filled my basket and went home, my mother asked: «Where did you find it, my child?» I didn’t have time to answer, so I said, «Let’s make mint pies faster.» Both of us were in a hurry to make pies and couldn’t stop. Hot pies are ready. After putting it in the
basket, we set off. I was very happy as I kicked the snow under my feet and ran.

The roof of my grandmother’s house was visible. «Grandma-grandma» we are here. Grandma couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw us. When we opened the basket, my grandmother greeted us with tears in her eyes, saying, «I just want to eat pies with mint» and thanking us. Even the spring snow did not overshadow our
meeting today.
