The Key in the Drawer

Lena's grandmother keeps a small key in her drawer.

The key opens an old flat near the river.

Grandma lived there for forty years, but now she lives with Lena's family.

One day, Grandma gives the key to Lena.

"Your father wants to sell it," she says.

"But go and see it first." Lena takes the bus to the old building.

The flat is small and dark, and the walls are yellow.

However, Lena finds many photos and letters in a box.

They show her family's long history in this city.

That evening, Lena talks to her father for a long time.

He listens and then puts the key back in the drawer.
