– Thank you for listening to me! – said Grandma Florentina, and joyfully hugged her granddaughter.
And so, all the members of the Sambrano, Moroco, and Castro families spent their time together in such an interesting and cheerful way. They chatted almost every day, shared different points of view on life, and lived life to the fullest. They spent autumn, winter, and spring in this way. And, on that most important date, May 24, 2008, our Charlotte turned 5 years old. The flash drive came out from under Charlotte's neck again, which only her parents could see; a purple notebook opened, and a white pen began to write the following:
"Charlotte, congratulations on turning 5 today! Every year you learn more and more interesting things about life. Your soul is very happy about this, believe me! From this year, you should remember the following types of lessons:
1. Learning this lesson, of course, does not depend only on you. But, I hope that one day you will be able to convey to everyone that crying loudly at a funeral is not only ugly, but also harmful to the soul of the deceased person.
2. The 2nd lesson mentions that you cannot be superstitious under any circumstances! You just need to believe in Allah, and ask for everything you want from your heart only from Him.
3. Implying the 3rd lesson also does not depend on you, but let us write it down just in case: the school should focus on the self-development of each child, which will lead to the development of the whole state!
4. Useless lines at events do not benefit anyone at all! We wrote this down here in the hope that you, Charlotte, will be the one who can one day tell all the people around you about it! We believe that you will succeed in your task. And for now, good luck, we will see you again at the end of the sixth page of your life!"
This time, the inscription was left as a series of enigmatic pronouncements, as you have also observed. Charlotte could not fully grasp the flash drive's intent. However, as the adage goes, time reveals all! We shall soon discover the meaning of these cryptic words. For now, let us proceed.
CHAPTER VI
Summer 2008. It was a time when Manuel Sambrano decided to embark on a journey with his family to their ancestral lands. They were going to move in the town of Lemari in the country of Lafem. The reason for this occasion was that Charlotte was nearing school age, and Manuel and Artemia Sambrano wanted their daughter to receive her education being surrounded by their native land traditions. Thus, they all travelled to Lemari.
