Nine BackTo The Beach Hotel
While we were getting ready to go to the famous beach city,
"You are welcome. Mr. Jackins. But we are leaving Norway."
Grandma knew very well why Mr. Jackins was so polite. She stopped and did not tell him where we were going deliberately. "You don't mind telling me where you are going, do you? My dear Madam." he really asked. "We are going to the Grand hotel to finish our vacation." Grandma answered. "That is great! That is what we want to do. Our Bruno misses your grandson very much, they will become good companions, I guess." Mr. Jackins was very excited. "OK, See you in the Grand Hotel. Better not let anyone see your son." Grandma hang on the phone. "Mr. Jackins has become a new person. He used to be proud and impolite for being rich, but now he has become modest and gentle for his son," said Grandma. We were back in the hotel again.
Grandma had booked room 554. We got in the room and Grandma locked the door. I got out of Grandma's hand bag and practiced wrestling the bag of sand, boxing and sword skills. Since coming back from China town, I practiced Kungfu every day. Every three hours, I ate some of the Dezhou millet which could make the donkeys pull cart day and night. Soon after I ate the millet, I felt full of strength. Grandma was sitting on the sofa smoking her cigar, but she smoked very lightly. Though she did not completely quit smoking, she had done her best. While she was watching me practicing, Grandma asked me, "Do you remember what the Chinese old man told you？" "Yes. Hide your Kungfu and never bully others." "Good. I guess Mr. Jackins is coming." At that moment, the door bell rang. Grandma went to the door and asked, "Who is it?" "It's me. Madam.Mr. Jackins!" It was Mr. Jackins' voice. Grandma opened the door. "May I come in? Madam." Mr. Jackins was very polite. "Come in, Please." letting Mr. Jackins in, Grandma said to me, "Honey, say hello to Mr. Jackins." "Hello!" I greeted him. "hello!" he greeted me friendly. "Where is your dear son? Mr. Jackins." Grandma asked. "He is in the room watching TV and eating. He is ok as long as he has something to eat." I checked that you had booked room 554 and so I booked room 553. It is just opposite your room, I hope you don't mind, do you？” "Of course not. it is not bad for two little mice to play together," said Grandma.
I was very glad to see Bruno.
"Hello Bruno, Nice to see you again." I said. Bruno was watching TV and eating snacks" I am watching TV." he said. Mr. Jackins said to us, "You play together in the room. I will soon send food here." Then he left for the dinning hall with Grandma. Bruno continued to watch TV for a while, then he asked me,
"Does your grandma have a way of turning you back into a boy?" As Grandma had told me, I did not mention that matter. "If she had, I would become a boy now." I said. "Will she find a way?" he went on asking. "I think so." I did not give him a clear answer. Bruno did not seem eager to become a boy again, He did not ask any more questions about the matter. After a while, Mr. Jackins sent a box of satisfying food for us and Bruno began to eat at once. I found that Bruno was fatter. I told him about my neighbor's cat and dog and he told me about Topsy. We were very happy. I wanted to tell him about my learning Kungfu, but I did not. I hoped that Bruno could eat some Dezhou millet, do some exercises, lose weight, be healthier.
I decided to do that after telling Grandma first. Mr. Jackins and Grandma came back after dinner, looking rather pleased.
Grandma went back to room 554. As Mr. Jackins came in, Bruno asked him loudly, "Did you ask her about how to turn me back into a boy?" Every one could hear him, which made his father rather embarrassed. Mr.Jackins did not answer Bruno's question. He said to me, "Do you want to stay here for another while?" "No, thank you." Seeing that both the doors were open, I jumped off the sofa and went to the door. I looked around outside the door and there was nobody in sight, I said goodbye to Bruno and went back to our room. Grandma and Mr. Jackins said goodnight to each other and closed the doors. |
