The Longest Strongest Thread

We are moving to a new home, where the lakes freeze in winter.

I am visiting my Grandma to say goodbye.

Grandma says I mustn't worry that my new home is so very far away. She says that we two have the longest, strongest thread in the whole world, and she will surely fly all the way to find me.
