Every summer the heat was miserable. This summer was no exception.

Jamal lay on the porch(门廊), holding a glass of sweet tea to his forehead, trying to absorb some of the cool. It was early afternoon, and his grandmother had lain down for her daily nap.

“Jamal! Jamal!” said Lisa, trying to get his attention.

“What?” he asked.

“I’m going to sort out the attic(阁楼). Want to come?” she asked calmly. Lisa was two years younger than Jamal and was used to being blown off.

“You’re crazy,” Jamal said. “It’s got to be 100 degrees up there, not to mention that it’s dusty and full of spiders and who knows what else.”

“Grandma said that if we see anything we want up there, we can keep it,” said Lisa.

“What makes you think I want any of that old junk?” asked Jamal.

“Suit yourself,” said Lisa. She went to the bedroom to change into old clothes that could get covered in sweat, dust, and possibly dead spiders.

Up in the attic, Lisa began to see Jamal’s point. The heat in the house rose upwards, only to be trapped in the small attic. Everything was covered in a fine layer of dust

As Lisa began going through the boxes, she realized that no one had touched them for years. After a couple of hours, Lisa’s back ached, and her shirt was wet through.

“Lisa, honey!” she heard her grandmother call. “Come take a break and have some tea.”

Lisa went downstairs and took a picture with her. “Grandma, is this really you?”

Her grandmother laughed. “What, you can’t believe it? Yes, that’s me; that was taken at my home coming almost sixty years ago.”

“You were beautiful, Grandma,” said Lisa admiringly.

“You’d be surprised, Lisa,” her grandmother responded. “Adults, all of us, were once young and irresponsible like you.”

“I don’t think Mom was ever like that …” said Lisa.

“Your mother…” her grandmother’s voice became low as she carefully chose her words. “When your father died in the service, your mother was still just a girl herself. You were a baby, and Jamal was only two. She had to grow up real fast.”

Lisa nodded. She finished her tea, thanked her grandmother, and turned to go back upstairs.
