Ellie's Story
“I was glad he was pleased, but I was also very relieved when we went back to our old park the next day. I liked Find a lot better than Swim.
Wally wasn’t around; I was used to that by now. I looked up at Jakob, my ears alert for “Find.” But Jakob did something new. He had carried an old coat with him from the truck, and now he held it out to me. “Find, Ellie. Find!”
Find the coat? That was strange. The coat was right there over Jakob’s arm.
Jakob moved the coat closer to me, so that I could sme...ll it. I breathed in the aromas of the person who’d been wearing it. It wasn’t Wally. The coat smelled of someone else, another man. My nose picked up sweat, something sweet that had spilled, coffee, smoke from those strange white sticks people liked to put in their mouths.
“Find, Ellie!”
I was still confused, but I sniffed around a little on the grass. Find usually started with smelling. And there it was—the same smell that was on the coat.
I remembered how I often found Wally’s socks or his T-shirts and showed them to Jakob.MoreLess
