The boy looked out the window and said to his grandmother: — Grandma, well, when will we go outside? — It’s cold today, dear, next time. — the woman answered and there are a lot of things to do, not up to a walk. Elena Petrovna worked part-time at home, knitting hats and scarves by order. And now she had an order, she needed to tie a set, a hat, mittens and a scarf.
But the grandson persistently asked his grandmother to go for a walk. — Well, okay, okay, I persuaded, let’s go for a walk, but not for long, it’s cold outside today, and you need to knit. — she gave up. They went out into the street, it was deserted, everyone disappeared to their homes in such weather. Naturally, the grandson was running around, and the woman was already all frozen. — All right, let’s go, Ilya, or we’ll get sick. We took a little walk today and that’s enough. — said the woman.
But the child was restless, rushed all over the playground and disappeared into the children’s maze and fell silent. The woman kept calling him and calling him, but he was silent; she went up to the maze, called him and he answered: — Grandma, there’s a doll lying here, let’s take it. Elena Petrovna went into the maze and saw that there was a bag there, and a squeak was coming from it. She was doused with horror; opening the bag, she saw a baby, very small, wrapped in a thin diaper. It was clear that the child was frozen, his face was already blue from the cold. She grabbed him, rather pressed him to her, warming him. The woman called an ambulance with shaking hands. An ambulance and police officers arrived.
The child was taken to the hospital, and the woman and the child remained to testify to the staff. The staff asked how they found the child. Elena Petrovna said that it was her grandson who found the baby, ran everywhere, she would not have heard the baby’s squeak if he had not called him. – Here, well done guy. Yes, keep it! – the employee praised him. The woman kept wondering how it was possible to throw out her blood, did her heart not tremble. The employee was not surprised: — What just does not happen: and they throw it in the trash and throw it to someone, now what just does not happen, we are no longer surprised at anything. The grandmother asked him to call, to find out about the child, if everything was all right. He found out that the baby was examined and examined, everything is fine, a little hypothermia, but he will be fine.
Although he said that if a little more – and the child definitely would not have survived. They were allowed to go home and the woman and her grandson left. What kind of work is there, the woman thought, today is definitely not up to it, with such shocks. And in the morning she decided to recognize the child and called the hospital. At first they didn’t want to say anything to her: — Why are you interested in, and who does the child have? – they asked at the other end. — No one has to, I just want to know about the baby, because it was my grandson and I who found the baby yesterday. Elena Petrovna replied. – Oh, it’s you, the rescuers of the baby. It’s a girl. She’s fine. You are good fellows who did not let her disappear,» the employee spoke in a different tone. — I would like to visit her and maybe we need to buy something, we will bring it. the woman asked. — It’s not supposed to be at all, but an exception can be made for rescuers, come tomorrow afternoon. – Bring diapers and baby formula. – said the paramedic. The next day, having bought everything necessary, he and Ilya went to the baby. They were missed. The baby was so small and sweet that the woman could not hold back her tears. She brought with her another wide scarf, with soft yarn of a delicate gray color with patterns on the edge, tied with her own hands. One day I wanted to tie him up, not for sale, but just tied him up, and he lay there as if waiting in the wings. She covered the child with it and wished him happiness, wiping away tears.

They also called, they were interested in the fate of the girl; She was named Sofia. The negligent mother was found and deprived of her rights to the child. Soon the girl was adopted, one childless family fell in love with her at first sight and took her to themselves. It’s been 18 years. Elena Petrovna has already aged very noticeably, but she is still alive and active, baking her grandson his favorite pie: he promised to come, was very mysterious and didn’t tell anything else, just asked to cook something delicious, said he had a surprise for her. The door opened and Ilya entered with a girl: — Grandma, meet my girlfriend Sofia and we are going to marry her; we are like two halves of one whole, I saw her; it seemed to me that I have known her all my life.
– Wow, this is great news, Ilya!! Welcome to our family, Sofia. – the woman was delighted. The girl was embarrassed, smiled and began to unwrap the scarf on her jacket; Elena Petrovna caught her eye on this scarf and was stunned. – What a scarf you have with an interesting pattern – the woman said to the girl. — Yes, this scarf has been with me for as long as I can remember, for how many years I have not been able to part with it, I keep it, I rarely wear it. Elena Petrovna of course recognized this scarf, which she once gave to the found baby for good luck. It is necessary as it happens in life: Ilya saved his future wife. Apparently, they were assigned to each other from above and providence itself led the boy to her that day so that he could save him.
