When we entered Grandma's house, I tried not to look at Grandpa's chair, but I saw it anyway. Even the blanket (毛毯) was still there, as if Grandpa still sat there and pulled it over his legs. I was not much of a hugger, but I gave 1 a hug.
John and Max, my twin cousins, were fighting on the floor as if 2 had happened, as if Grandpa hadn't died last winter.
"Let's go looking for lobsters (龙虾)!" John suggested while Max was sitting on top of him.
"Yeah!" Then Max 3 John and ran to the small hall closet. He pulled out Grandpa's lobster trap, with which Grandpa taught us all how to catch lobsters.
Last summer when I was holding that trap in my hands, Grandpa asked me if I wanted to stay and 4 him to teach Bob, my little brother, how to play chess. I said no. I wanted to catch lobsters with my cousins. But now when Grandpa was gone, there wouldn't be any 5 with Grandpa.
"Hey, are you coming?" John asked me from the doorway.
"Of course." I said.
"I'm coming, too," Bob, my brother, shouted with 6 .
"No way," I said to Bob. "You are too young."
"Bob is 7 enough to go this year," Mum said. "Take him with you."
We ran down the path leading to the river near Grandma's house. Lobsters swam at the sandy bottom of the river. We lowered the lobster trap into the river in the same way as Grandpa had 8 us. Then we took off our shirts and shoes and jumped in, but the water was very cold. We all jumped out almost as 9 as we'd gone in. After that, we encouraged each other to jump into the water again except Bob. He was the only one on the rock, but he was 10 with cold. So I decided to take him home.
After sending him back home, I decided to 11 back to the river. As I headed toward the door, I saw Bob wrapped in Grandpa's blanket in the way Grandpa did last summer.
Standing in the doorway, I could hear John and Max screaming and laughing in the river. The river and the lobsters stayed the same. 12 Grandpa was gone.
I walked over to Bob. "Did Grandpa ever 13 you to play chess?" I asked.
"No, Grandpa was too sick last summer." Bob said 14 , looking down at his fingers.
I put the chess on the table. "Well," I said. "Someone's got to show you."
"I 15 Grandpa," Bob said.
"Me, too." It seemed like Grandpa wasn't completely gone. It felt like he was still there with the blanket, lobsters and chess.
