Grandpa stared at me over his glasses, and then back at the money.
“How long have you been saving this?” he asked. “A long time, Grandpa,” I said.
“How long?” he asked. I told him, “Two years.” His mouth flew open and in a loud voice he said, “Two years!”
I nodded my head. The way my grandfather stared at me made me uneasy.
I was on needles and pins. Taking his eyes from me, he glanced back at the money.
He saw the faded yellow piece of paper sticking out from the coins.
He worked it out, asking as he did, “What’s this?”
I told him it was the ad, telling where to order my dogs. He read it, turned it over, and glanced at the other side.
I saw the astonishment leave his eyes and the friendly-old-grandfather look come back. I felt much better.
Dropping the paper back on the money, he turned, picked up an old turkey-feather duster, and started dusting where there was no dust.
He kept glancing at me out of the corner of his eye as he walked slowly down to the other end of the store, dusting here and there.
He put the duster down, came from behind the counter, and walked up to me.
