The Secret of the Peacock — Complete History
Birds
For over thirty years, my grandmother had placed the same tablecloth on the dining table.
It was white, old and embroidered with red and blue flowers. But what caught the most attention was the huge peacock embroidered in the center.
Every time I asked him about him, my grandmother would answer the same thing:
“Someday you’ll understand why that peacock is so important.
I always thought it was just one of those stories that grandparents invent to keep a family tradition alive.
Until that Sunday.
She was 82 years old and lived alone in an old house, surrounded by trees. I used to visit her every Sunday.
That morning, when I came in, I found her sitting in front of the table.
It was pale.
“Grandma, what happened?”
He didn't answer.
