From the day that she learned to walk, Katie’s parents had warned her not to walk past the wire fence. The fence divided the farm from the open grassland that ran for miles. A child would get lost in the high, waving grass. Katie’s mother would remind her about her sister Hannah. “Hannah was no older than you the day that she disappeared, ” Mama would say. Katie couldn’t think of anything worse than to be separated from her parents.

Katie had never seen her sister. Hannah had been lost before Katie was born. Katie often imagined one day a beautiful stranger would come up the road and it would be Hannah.

Now, more than twelve years after her disappearance, Hannah was coming home! She was found at a small village far away. A woman found the lost child many years ago and raised Hannah like one of her own children.

Katie and her mother were busy cleaning the spare bedroom all day.

The next day Hannah arrived. Katie raced out into the yard, her arms open wide. As she came closer to the tall, young woman, her arms dropped. The cry of welcome died in her throat. Hannah had sun—Browned skin. A blanket pulled around her shoulders. She stood staring, looking helpless as Katie’s mother moved forward to embrace(拥抱) her.

At that moment, Katie remembered the rabbit she caught last winter. She carried it home gently and built a comfortable house for it. The next morning the rabbit was gone. “It was used to freedom,” her mama had explained.

Hannah stayed at her new home for almost a month. She never slept in the soft bed. She seldom came out of her room. Whenever Katie went in, she always found Hannah looking our of the window. Katie’s parents kept telling her that it was just a matter of time. Hannah would get used to their ways. “After all,” Mama said, “we’re her real family.”

Then one night, when Katie went in to say good night, Hannah was gone. Her window was open wide. Katie looked around the empty room. She started to run downstairs to call her parents, but then stopped. She thought of the rabbit that she had caught. She wouldn’t tell. She would let her parents discover Hannah’s absence in the morning. Then Hannah would have had a head start on her long journey back to her family.

After the board meeting, Frank began to tell us of his childhood. “I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman and had his own 　36 . But it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he 　37 enough to feed the family.”

He looked at us and said, “I 　38 you could have met my dad. He was a big man and strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he　 39 like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and overalls with the rain hat　 40 down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”

Frank’s voice 41 a bit as if he were back to his childhood. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. His truck was older than he was, which you could hear coming for 42 . As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 .”

“When the truck stopped, it would throw out a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like 　44 would be standing around and watching. Then he would 　45 　and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so 　46 for me at that time.”

He paused and then went on, “I 　47 that day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his 　48 big smile. He started to lean toward me, 　49 I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.”

“It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this 　50 look on his face. My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear 　51 . I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield. ‘You are right,’ he said, ‘You are a big boy --a man. I won’t kiss you any more.’”

Frank got a funny look on his face, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he spoke. “It wasn’t long 　52 that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed 　53 but not dad.”

I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again, “Guys, you don’t know 　54 I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek ... If I had been a 　 55 , I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”
