Erilia returns from Sleepy’s homeland

Brrr, it is cold! I’ve just returned from the celebration for
Sleepy. Oh, was it warm there, near him. This is a chance for you to
have your own celebration, all my little friends together, how nice!
How? What will we do there? But of course, we will tangle
with volcanoes for a short while. We can make our own volcano
with lots and lots of play dough. And may I tell you my secret?
Whenever I am around play dough the first thing I am going to do is
to mix two or three colors and then mould them and see what the
new color looks like. So let’s all make our own Sleepy and of course
we can add small pieces of cloth so Sleepy can become the most
beautiful volcano! We can make eyes, a nose and a mouth for him
and have him make grimaces just like Evgenia drew him in the
story pictures.
We can print our own photographs from volcanoes all
around the world. Do you know about the volcano of Santorini
island or about the volcano of Nissiros island? I was just informed
that each year in Santorini, in August, the people have a
celebration with fireworks in order to represent their own
volcano’s explosion.
And what’s next? We can make our own song which will be
called “Friends of Sleepy” and dance like Indians or as we like.
Because we dance to cheer ourselves up.
I am going now as well to find a tune that is fit for the dance
I have in mind. Unless of course you find it first! If so I better go
and make a very funny hat and prepare myself for the celebration.
