00:00:25

Speaker 1: preview of this very special episode. Isla's grandmother had recently




00:00:37

Speaker 1: moved to a new home. Eiler hadn't seen it yet,




00:00:41

Speaker 1: but she'd spoken to her grandmother on the phone a




00:00:43

Speaker 1: few times now, and her grandma always sounded very chirpy




00:00:47

Speaker 1: and chipper when they chatted. Grandma said that she loved




00:00:51

Speaker 1: it at her new home and she couldn't wait to




00:00:53

Speaker 1: show Eila around when she eventually came to visit. Isla




00:00:58

Speaker 1: begged her parents for weeks weeks to take her to




00:01:00

Speaker 1: grandma's new house so that she could see it for herself,




00:01:04

Speaker 1: but they were much too busy to make the journey.




00:01:07

Speaker 1: That is until one Saturday morning, when Ila's mom and




00:01:10

Speaker 1: dad announced that today they would visit Grandma. Islah jumped




00:01:15

Speaker 1: for joy. She couldn't wait to see her grandma and




00:01:18

Speaker 1: instantly got dressed into her favorite pair of dungarees and




00:01:22

Speaker 1: new pink sneakers that flashed with lights every time she




00:01:25

Speaker 1: stomped her feet or clicked her heels. She had waited




00:01:29

Speaker 1: to show her Grandma them for ages. Mom and Dad




00:01:34

Speaker 1: strapped Alah's little brother, Freddy into his car seat, and




00:01:37

Speaker 1: Ilah buckled herself in by his side. Dad had said




00:01:42

Speaker 1: that it would take an hour to drive to grandma's




00:01:44

Speaker 1: new home, but Eila didn't mind. She had packed a




00:01:47

Speaker 1: couple of books in her backpack that she was going




00:01:50

Speaker 1: to read to Freddy on the journey there. Hyler was




00:01:54

Speaker 1: doing very well with learning to read at school, and




00:01:57

Speaker 1: she loved sharing her new skill with her baby. She




00:02:01

Speaker 1: read to Freddy almost every night now before bed. With




00:02:06

Speaker 1: Isla and her brother safely strapped into their seats, Mum




00:02:10

Speaker 1: and Dad climbed into the front of the car and




00:02:13

Speaker 1: they all set off to grandma's new home. An hour




00:02:18

Speaker 1: later they arrived, but Ilah was surprised at how different




00:02:22

Speaker 1: Grandma's house looked now. Before Grandma had lived in a




00:02:27

Speaker 1: bungalow with Granddad in the middle of a town. They




00:02:30

Speaker 1: had a long garden which Grandma grew lots of flowers




00:02:33

Speaker 1: and vegetables in and a sprawling front lawn that Grandad




00:02:37

Speaker 1: kept immaculate by mowing the grass and trimming the hedges.




00:02:43

Speaker 1: Their bungalow had three bedrooms so that either and her




00:02:46

Speaker 1: family could stay and sleep whenever they visited, and they




00:02:50

Speaker 1: had a big, cozy living room with a toy box




00:02:53

Speaker 1: full of games that Islah loved to play with. It




00:02:57

Speaker 1: was a home that was just for them, and now




00:03:01

Speaker 1: Grandma's new home appeared to be very different. As they




00:03:07

Speaker 1: drove down a winding road surrounded by large stretches of




00:03:12

Speaker 1: green grass, Eider could see a huge house in the distance.




00:03:18

Speaker 1: Out front, lots of cars were parked up, and there




00:03:21

Speaker 1: was a stone fountain spurting water into the air in




00:03:24

Speaker 1: front of a giant front door. Their car got closer




00:03:30

Speaker 1: and Ilah spotted benches placed around the edges of the




00:03:33

Speaker 1: grass with several different families sitting on them. There were children, parents,




00:03:40

Speaker 1: and grandparents, even a little dog or two, all together




00:03:45

Speaker 1: sitting and happily chatting in the sun. This seemed like




00:03:50

Speaker 1: a very nice place for families to spend time together.




00:03:54

Speaker 1: Islah wondered if these children were meeting their grandmas here too,




00:04:00

Speaker 1: Does Grandma share her home with all these people, Islah
