The big brother looked at his feverish little sister<br />
lying in the hospital bed, covered in blankets.<br />
“We should take of f all the blankets so that it’s easier<br />
for <strong>Pearl</strong> to take wing,” Jacob said.<br />
“What do you mean?” Dad said, startled. “<strong>Pearl</strong> doesn’t<br />
know how to fly.”<br />

chrysalis till they are ready.”<br />
“I think I know what you mean,” Grandma said. “In her<br />
own way, <strong>Pearl</strong> is making herself ready. Soon it will be<br />
time for her to fly away from her chrysalis.”<br />
“When she takes wing, she’s going to feel so much<br />
better!” Jacob burst out. He could no longer hold back<br />
his tears.<br />
