One summer when I was 5 years old I was visiting my grandparents with my younger sister. Gramma had brought us from Alberta to Nova Scotia on the train. One thing I remember is that there were many dragonflies which I was afraid of because my Grandfather told me that if I ever told a lie, that a dragonfly would come and sew my mouth shut.
