Grant’s eyes. He raised his thick, black<br />
eyebrows and gave <strong>the</strong> frightened boy a little<br />
smile as if to say, “How do you like this turn <strong>of</strong><br />
events…you cannot escape me anywhere you go.”<br />
“Yeah,” said Grant, “jade green is exactly<br />
<strong>the</strong> color <strong>of</strong> his eyes.”<br />

little boy, always making jokes and teasing <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
“Grant, I d<strong>on</strong>’t see how you have <strong>the</strong> good<br />
luck to always get a fortune cookie,” said Mimi<br />
merrily. “Open it and read us your fortune.”<br />
Glumly, Grant did just that. He opened<br />
<strong>the</strong> note and read: “Let’s go to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Wall</strong>.”<br />
“That’s a strange fortune,” said Papa.<br />
“I think maybe it’s not a fortune,”<br />
Christina said, trying to help.<br />

“I think it might just be a really, really<br />
good idea?” said Christina.<br />
“Oh!” said <strong>the</strong> Fus, “You have not seen <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Great</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> yet?”<br />
“We’ve been too busy so far,” said Mimi.<br />
“But we will go so<strong>on</strong>.”<br />
Grant swallowed hard. He just hoped it<br />
was so<strong>on</strong> enough!
