Fog Magic by Julia L. Sauer Page A

back here on this side of the mountain there’ll be a gray wisp of fur waiting to purr for you. This kitten should bring you a line of kittens that’ll last as long as my knife,” he ended.
    Whether the magic lay in Father’s words or in his understanding Greta did not know. But she felt her heart grow light. “I’ll call her Wisp,” she said happily, “because she’s like the tiny wisps of fog that are left behind in shaded corners of the rocks, sometimes, when the sun burns off the rest. And, Father, your knife and my kitten—it’s fun, isn’t it, to have them and to know?”
    â€œTo know?” her father smiled. “Yes, it’s fun, Greta, and all that lies ahead can be fun, too—the growing and the living.”
    â€œI’m glad I’m twelve and growing up,” Greta thought, “no matter what I have to give up. But I’m going back over the mountain. All my life I’m going back to Blue Cove. I’ll take Wisp and her kittens, and their kittens forever and forever. And I’ll let them play in the cellar holes and nap on the stone doorsteps of Blue Cove.”
    She slipped her arm through her father’s. With the kitten held close, they walked down the Old Road through the fog toward the lights of Little Valley and the years ahead.
