squirrels playing on the roof right above her room. They were sliding down a
branch and leaping onto the roof tiles to gather acorns, then they would
scurry back to the branch and repeat the process, over and over.
5 Since there were no squirrels in Elisa’s country, this was a new
experience for her. She enjoyed watching the squirrels so much that when
her vacation was over, Grandma bought her a squirrel figurine and put it on
her night table.

6 “It will be right here waiting for you when you come back to visit again.”
7 “I’ll be back soon, Grandma. I love this place. Maybe some day I’ll come
and live with you.”

8 But that was then and this is now.
9 “Who needs squirrels?” she asked herself.
10 She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She was exhausted; it had
been a long day that for some reason had gone slowly. That morning she
had been in Puerto Rico, and now she was in the United States of America —
except that this time, supposedly, it was forever. A tear rolled down her
cheek and landed on the pillow.
