The Small Lantern

Theo is already in his coat, and the only lantern left is the small one on the kitchen table. Tonight their street is full of lights. Neighbors have lamps in their windows, and someone is playing music at the corner. Theo told his friends he would carry a lantern down to that music. Their older cousin took the big lantern earlier and did not come back. If Theo walks out with empty hands, he will have to tell those friends he was wrong.

Nina promised him. She said it this morning. She did not know their cousin would take the big one. Their mother stands by the door with the house keys. She looks at the small lantern, then at Theo's hopeful face, and she does not look convinced. The paper is thin. The stick is light.
