description: When I was five years old I had such a great sorrow! I hardly know if I have had a greater since then. It was then that my grandmother died. Up to that time she used to sit every day on the corner sofa in her room and tell stories. I remember grandmother told story after story from morning till night and we children sat beside her quite still and listened. It was a glorious life! No other children had such happy times as we did. It isn't much that I recollect about my grandmother. I remember that she had very beautiful snow-white hair and stooped when she walked and that she always sat and knitted a stocking. And I even remember that when she had finished a story she used to lay her hand on my head and say: All this is as true as true as that I see you and you see me. I also remember that she could sing songs but this she did not do every day. One of the songs was about a knight and a sea-troll and had this refrain: It blows cold cold weather at sea . . .
