Home Again

Niki saw the sign first. It said “Welcome to Layton”. “We’re here!” Niki said.

“Yes,” answered Mum “Now I’ll show you where i grew up.”

Mum turned right. “This is Hill Street. Let’s find my old house.” She stopped the car in front of a red house. “Oh, Dear! It’s so different now,” Mum said sadly “Let’s see how Main Street looks.”

As the car moved up Main Street, Niki asked, “Is Main Street the way you remember it?”

“No,” Mum sighed. But then she smiled. “Look! The Layton Diner is still here! Let’s go in and get some lunch.”

Niki and Mum walked into the diner. Mum looked around and laughed. “It hasn’t changed a bit. Just like the old days!”

Just then, a woman with white hair sat at the next table. The waitress said something and the woman laughed. Niki saw Mum s eyes grow wide. “What is it, Mum?” she asked.

“That laugh,” Mum said softly. “I remember that laugh.” She turned around and looked at the woman. “I don’t know who that woman could be,” she said.

Niki looked past Mum and smiled at the woman. The woman smiled back kindly at Niki. Then the woman stood up and walked over. She looked closely at Mum’s face before she spoke. “Margaret, it’s so nice to see you after all these years.”

“You are…” Mum was a little puzzled.

“I’m Mrs. Blade,” the woman said. “Your third-grade teacher.”

Mum jumped up and hugged her. “I didn’t know who you were.”

Mrs. Blade laughed. “I didn’t know who you were either, Margaret,” she said. “But your daughter looks just like you did in third grade. And I never forget a student’s face.”

1.How did Mum feel when she saw her old house?

2.Where did Niki and Mum have lunch?

3.Why did Mum turn around and look at the woman with white hair?

4.Who was Mrs. Blade?

5.What do you think Mrs. Blade was like?
