ملخص القصة باللغة العربية:
إِمْرَأَةٌ عَجُوزٌ، مُتَيَقِّنَةٌ بِأَنَّ الْوَقْتَ يَنْفَدُ، تُطَرِّزُ خَرِيطَةً لِذَاكِرَةِ الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي نَشَأَتْ فِيهَا، تَخِيطُ فِيهَا كُلَّ بِئْرٍ وَشَجَرَةِ تِينٍ وَفِنَاءٍ. يَجِبُ عَلَى حَفِيدَتِهَا زِيَارَةُ الْإِحْدَاثِيَّاتِ لِتَجِدَ أَنَّ الْخَرِيطَةَ تَصِفُ مَكَانًا لَمْ يَعُدْ أَيُّ أَطْلَسٍ يَعْرِفُهُ.
