Hana stood in a crowded street near the stadium . Music came from inside . Her father looked at his phone and tried to find the way . They had to meet her aunt at the station later . Before that , Hana wanted one thing . She wanted to see the Olympic flame . She did not want a shirt . She did not want a photo with a runner . She wanted the real fire , the one that burns while the Games are on . At first they walked the wrong way . The crowd was moving toward a huge screen , not toward the flame . On the screen a race was already going . The runners were close together . People around Hana shouted names she did not know . She stopped walking . She wanted to see how the race ended . Her father touched her arm . " If we stay for the end , we will miss the flame , " he said . Hana looked at the screen again . A runner in a red shirt was in front . The race was not over . She did not know the runner's name , and she did not wait to learn it . She turned away and followed her father past a line of food stands . The air smelled like warm bread . A child on someone's shoulders pointed at the screen , but Hana kept her eyes on her father's coat . A blue sign showed a small flame and an arrow . They followed it . They passed banners with the Olympic rings . She did not stop to read them . The street opened into a wide place , and the flame was there . It was already burning in a large bowl , high above the crowd . A rope held people back , so they could not walk up to it . Hana did not need to go closer . The fire moved . It was not a picture on a screen . She thought she could feel heat from it . Then she was not sure . The evening was warm anyway . Her father put his phone in his pocket . He did not tell her to hurry . He stood beside her , and for a while neither of them spoke . A song she did not know came from the stadium . Near the rope , people were quiet . Some held phones up . Hana kept her phone in her bag . She watched the flame until her father said her aunt was waiting . She nodded , and they walked toward the station .
