“Oh dear, let me see what happened,” Opa Karl says.
Timmy shows his grandpa his hand. Opa Karl gives it a kiss and climbs back down the ladder to get a tea towel and ice pack. While Timmy is waiting, he looks around and notices that some items have fallen out of a box: pine cones, paper stars, and red candles.
He picks up one of the stars and looks at it. It looks old to Timmy, because its edges are yellow. However, it’s still very beautiful and has fine gold lines on it. Opa Karl comes back and carefully puts the tea towel and ice pack on Timmy’s hand. He puts his arm around Timmy and notices the paper star his grandson is holding.
“Do you know what that is?” Opa Karl asks.
