Day was dawning and all was still.
Nan got up and slowly trod outdoors. Nobody was stirring this morning. Only birds’ shrill calls split through a windy air.
Nan was not drowsy, but calm. Tramping through damp brush, Nan was happy. A tiny bug lit a trail in dirt.
In a bush, Nan saw a thing. Stopping, Nan took it up in admiration. It was a guitar, with just four strings. Nan, plucking a string, sat down. It was smooth and shiny, but with a string missing.
“I don’t know who owns it,” Nan said, “Or if anybody wants it now.”
It follows that Nan saw an inscription on a sign on this guitar. “‘To any who may want this guitar, it is yours.’”
Nan, smiling, stood up and brought that guitar back to school. “It’s my guitar, now.”
