Question
The Visit
1 Ye-Jun stared intently out the big window in the kitchen. Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and she heard her younger sisters laughing as they dashed through the backyard with their butterfly nets streaming through the air behind them. Ye-Jun looked at her watch for the third time in five minutes. She heard a sound from outside and turned toward the door, then realized that it was just a false alarm. Then, there it was, finally, the sound of tires crunching on the gravel driveway. Out the window, Ye-Jun saw her sisters abandon their butterfly nets and start running toward the driveway. She got up and went to the door just as it flew open to reveal her grandparents, home at last from their long trip to Korea.
2 Ye-Jun's sisters streamed through the door after them, chattering nonstop. Grandma Park began handing out the special candies that everyone loved, and Ye-Jun's sisters retreated to the kitchen with their treats. Grandpa Kim wrapped Ye-Jun in a giant hug. "For you," he said, reaching into his pocket, "I have brought something very special." He held out his hand, revealing a small pebble. "This pebble," he explained, is from the neighborhood where I grew up and discovered who I wanted to be. That place is very special to me, just like you are very special to me," he said, placing the warm pebble in Ye-Jun's palm. "Just give her some candy, already," Grandma Park said, but Ye-Jun already had everything she needed.
