Part ! read to answer part i will give !

14. a cloud of dust and stale-smelling air escaped from the trunk. the single light cast my own shadow over the trunk so that the contents were barley visible. quickly rummaging through the contents, i discovered that the trunk contained nothing but old clothes.

15. my search was interrupted by my grandma's voice floating up from below. "did the key work? " she called.

16. quickly i gathered an armload of the contents and carried them down to show grandma.

17. in the kitchen, we began laying the clothes out on the table. grandma was smiling. "i forgot all about this," she said. "these are my father's army uniforms. look, his name is sewn across his right-hand pocket." then she picked up a wooden box and held it close to her heart.

18. "these are his medals," she said, setting the box down on the table. "he received several medals for bravery." grandma arranged the medals on the uniform that was draped across the table. there was a photograph of several soldiers standing together with their left hands at their hips and their right hands in a crisp salute at the camera. tears had formed in grandma's eyes.

19. "my father is the one on the left," she explained. she beamed as she gazed at the image of her father.

20. as grandma's stories about her father and the wonderful things he did began to unravel, i came to realized i really had discovered a treasure. it was much more than a trunk of old clothes. it was a treasure worth far more than anything i could have imagined.
