The trunk smelled rotten.

The trunk had smells that came from the oldest things in the world.

The trunk smelled like it hadn’t been opened in a long time.

The trunk had never been opened before.

She unpacks her big trunk.

She draws pictures with Aaron.

She sits by the window and looks out.

She tells Aaron stories about the Queen.

She wishes she had left her trophy behind.

She misses looking out her own window.

She is glad to leave her old, lonely house.

She is sad to be far away from her friends.

"The first day, Grandma sat by the window and stared out."

"She rubbed her hands together and didn't say anything right away."

"I won it riding Queen when I was 16 years old!"

"I guess I miss my window at home."
