Daniel is still outside , and the museum will close soon . His daughter Ivy copied a picture at school . The copy is on the kitchen table at home . In her picture the boat is red , but the photo in her school book is small and dark . At breakfast she asked him , " Is the real boat red ? " He said he would go and see . He does not want to go home with a guess . A woman at the door is ready to stop new visitors . Most people are already coming out . Daniel keeps his hands in his pockets . He did not come to see every room . He came for one picture . He steps up to her . " Can I come in for one picture ? " he asks . " My daughter copied it . She wants to know if the boat is red . " The woman looks into the hall . The lights upstairs are already off . " The big rooms are closed , " she says . " The small room on the left is still open . Do you know the name of the picture ? " " No , " Daniel says . " I know a boat , and a child in a yellow coat . " She thinks for a moment . " Try the small room . The boats are on that wall . Go straight there . Please do not stop in the shop . " " Thank you , " he says . Inside , the hall is quiet . His shoes sound loud on the stone floor . He walks past the postcards and does not touch them . He turns left . The small room has white walls and only a few pictures . A guard stands by the door and nods . He does not speak . Daniel passes a dark picture of trees . He passes a picture of flowers in a blue bowl . Then he stops . The next picture is small . A child stands on a path near the water . The coat is yellow , bright and clear . Behind the child there is a boat . Daniel moves closer , but he stays behind the line on the floor . The glass shows his own face . He cannot see the color yet . He looks at the little card next to the frame . The card has a name he does not know . Ivy did not ask for the name . She asked about the color . The guard speaks at last . " This room is closing now . " Daniel moves his head to one side . His face leaves the glass . The boat is red , and it is the same red that Ivy used at the kitchen table .
