A Many-Colored Shawl

There was an old lady who wore an old shawl, knitted it herself with wool bought at the mall. Now old and ragged, Granddaughter Pennie thought my friends and I could knit a new one, and we ought! Two friends agreed, but it will be a big job. We need two more, maybe we should “lob” Put on the bulletin board, no one signed. Then, on a church pew, accidently left behind. Pastor Jim told Pennie's mom: I know two who knit; one is black, one Chinese; won't be a problem, will it? Pennie's mom, Mary, said: my mom's thinking is old hat. Maybe we won't tell her til it's knitted, how's that? So, the four girls got together and knitted away, forming friendships that last even to this day. Grandma knitted with them, said they were all cute. Thinking can change for we're all from one root!
