We got to the clean, lovely city of Yangzhou early in the morning. This is our first trip to China. All the different smells attract our attention to the local food. We are going to try something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is not expensive but very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to the Great Wall in the north.

We visited the famous Slender West Lake (瘦西湖) which was crowded with visitors from all over the world, and bought a lot of toys for our friends outside the gate of the park. Everything is so colourful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will do the famous foot massage (按摩) and then leave for the Great Wall.

Ever since we became pen pals, Julien has sent me strange things. Once, she sent her sneeze in a jar. ("I have a cold, can you tell?" she wrote. ) Then she sent her fingerprint. ( "So you'll recognize me in a crowd.") Julien sent me breakfast, all right: cornflakes. Soggy, milky, grainy, crumbly, limp cornflakes scraped from the bottom of her cereal bowl. I lost my appetite, but I read the letter.
"I don't know," Mom said."Julien might find a way. After all, she did send you her sneeze. A week later I checked the mail and found a box with air holes and the words "FRAGILE-THIS SIDE UP" printed in bold black letters on the top. It was from Julien. I stroked the box with my fingers. It was perfectly dry. I smelled it. It didn't smell. I held my breath and started opening the package. What if sunbeams spring out and hit me in the face like those fake snakes in a can; I thought? My hands shook as I lifted the last flap and peeked inside. Where in the world was the sunset? All I could find was a letter and a twisty, gray, papery shell. It looked like a submarine. I read the letter.
Julien," I said. Without reading the postscript, I laid the letter and the submarine on the kitchen table. Then I left the room to find a pen so that I could cross out "sun-set" and write "submarine" above it. When I returned, I stared in shock at the submarine. A creature was oozing out of it! Was it a sea monster? I looked closer. It was a winged creature... an insect... a butterfly. An orange, blue, purple, red, and gold butterfly. It looked like... a sunset! While the sunset opened and closed its wings to dry them, I read Julien's postscript. It said, "P. S. Next week I'm sending you Japan." | ||
