Uri’s parents are busy with lots of construction workers who come in their delicatessen to buy sandwiches for lunch, so Uri’s parents don’t have time for him. But his grandmother has time. The problem is that his grandmother only speaks German and Uri doesn’t. His grandmother invites him to take a walk with her. Uri follows to her, but no idea where she wants to go. They walk together along a Tel Aviv street and they can communicate anyhow as Uri guesses well. But Uri never imagine that they encounter the conductor and musicians of the orchestra that become the Israel Philharmonic. >>> Including historical background of Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.

Uriの両親は、昼食のサンドイッチを店に買いに来る労働者達の対応で忙しく、彼と過ごす時間もなかったが、祖母には時間があった。問題は祖母がドイツ語しか話せなく、Uriはドイツ語が話せなかった。Uriは祖母に誘われて散歩に出たが、彼女がどこに行きたいのか見当もつかなかった。テルアビブ通りを一緒に歩きながらも、Uriが推測を働かせたお陰でなんとかコミュニケーションは出来た。しかし、偶然にも海辺の演奏会で出会った指揮者と演奏者達がイスラエル管弦楽団になるとは、その時のUriには想像も出来なかった。＞＞＞イスラエル管弦楽団の歴史的背景の実話も紹介されている。
