14899 - The revelation of the Lady
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Vicky Baklessi
The Lady with the strange hat smiled openly this time! And as soon as she thanked them for the act of rescue that the two sisters had made, she opened carefully the box that hid the precious jewel and she took it out. The whole wagon was trying to see what that strange box was hiding. And their surprise was great when they saw a traditional yiordani that looked like no other. Because some of its beads were much larger than normal and didn’t shine like the other ones. The Lady took off the hat for the first time and on her hair were strange little stones which looked like the peculiar beads of the jewel. Everyone wondered what it was, but before they expressed their secret desire, the Lady had answered:
-It’s zeolite!
So that was the secret of the jewel.
-It’s from our Thrace.
