"Eliyana! Abuelita is here! Come downstairs!" Mama says.

"But mom! You know that I'm not done with this level! Let me finish!" Eliyana responds.

"Don't make me go up there! Abuelita is waiting. Baja aquí ahora mismo!" Mama yells.

"Uh oh. She's using spanish... that's bad." Eliyana says to her little sister.
"Coming mama!"

Abuelita had a box in her hand that was wrapped in a shiny pink bow. She handed it to Eliyana.

"This is a special present from home. Something to remember me and home by." Abuelita says.

Eliyana opens the box to see a green and red hoodie. She puts it on.

"This is so ugly! And itchy!" Eliyana thinks.

The next day, Abuelita leaves to go back to Mexico. Eliyana goes to the bridge near the lake and throws the hoodie over the railing.

"I feel bad..." Eliyana says.

As she gets back home, Eliyana's mama wonders where she has been.

"I was worried sick about you mija! Don't do that ever again!" Mama yells.

"Chill, mama! I was just at the dock by Viking's Lake!" Eliyana responds.

"What were you doing?" Mama asks.

"I was just dipping my feet in..." Eliyana answers.

"Okay... Go to bed. It's past your hora de acostarse." Mama says.

Eliyana goes up to her room and looks in the closet for her pajamas. But instead she finds soaking wet... her hoodie. The same one Abuelita gave her.
