The following day, after school, Giulia and Mario went eagerly to their grandma's, accompanied by their father Mark. When they entered Anna's home, they went immediately to the nativity scene. The string of lights had already been turned on, and they looked at the beautiful figures for a few moments. The colorful glass sparkled in the light and it brought out the craftsmanship of the glassblowers, so famous in Venice and all over the world.
Giulia pointed at the statue of a woman, not far from the stable. She was carrying a basket in her hands. Giulia asked: “Is this Magda? Or her sister?” Anna took the figure carefully, and she placed it on the coffee table, then she picked up the statue of another woman with a towel in her hands, and she put it next to the other woman. She said softly, pointing at the woman with the basket: “This is Rachel, and this is her sister Magda…” Giulia and Mario settled on the couch, ready to listen to the story. Mark sat silently on the armchair.
