It started as a happy dream. She dreamed that she was walking in a museum. She could hear some of her friends talking, but she couldn't see them. She could see a painting. It looked like a painting of a little girl standing in a park on a bright sunny day. Suddenly an English woman was standing next to Melody. The woman was carrying an umbrella and wearing a dress just like the ones that people wore a hundred years ago. She didn't say a word, but just stood in front of the painting, staring at it for a very long time. Melody wanted to walk closer to her, to talk to her... but as Melody came closer the woman turned around. The woman's face was so sad --
..and then Melody saw that the woman was in the painting with the little girl, and an umbrella was lying on the floor of the museum... Melody didn't know what she should do...
