Answer 1

Great-Grandma’s Nickel
by Marcy Barack

Shana pressed her forehead against the window of her great-grandmother's kitchen. Tonight was the Jewish festival of Purim. It was time to make hamantaschen, the traditional Purim pastries.
Shana watched her great-grandmother unfold a faded, blue apron.
"You always wear that apron when we bake," said Shana, reaching to pull the strings around the waist of her great-grandmother's flowered dress. "There's something in the pocket," she added, wiggling her fingers along the bottom of the apron. "It's a nickel!"
"Yes, darling," said Great-Grandma, "I always keep a nickel in my pocket."
"For good luck?" asked Shana.
"It's a reminder," said Great-Grandma. "When I was a young girl like you, my family lived in Vilna, a small town in Poland. My two older brothers went by ship to America, and when they were settled, they sent money so that my mother and father and I could come to America, too."
They both continued to bake.
"In America, the people spoke a language I didn't know. At first, I thought I wouldn't need to learn too much of this new language. Where we lived in New York, many people came from Poland, and we all spoke Yiddish. Then, one day my mother asked me to help my brothers at work. Every day they took the subway from our apartment to their store. It cost five cents to ride the subway. Five cents was a lot of money! My mother gave me two nickels, one for the ride there and one for the ride back."
"One day, I was walking to the subway and got confused." Great-Grandma stopped a moment with the rolling pin in her hand, remembering. "I got in the subway, but I knew I had made a mistake. The ride was too long, and nothing looked familiar."
Shana was scooping fruit-and-nut filling onto small rounds of dough. She stopped to look at her great-grandmother. "You must have been so scared!"
"Oh, yes! I tried to ask people in the station for help, but I only knew a little English. Then, I saw a girl. She was about my age, and I tried to tell her that I was lost. She showed me a subway map on the wall. I found my stop and pointed to it. Nodding, the girl led me to the other side of the station, where the cars went to my stop. But now I needed another subway token, and I had already spent my two nickels. I wanted to cry! Somehow the girl knew. She reached into her pocket, pulled out a nickel, and put it in my hand. I didn't know how to say thank you, so I hugged her. Then, she ran to catch her subway car, and I went to find mine."
"And you got home all right, Great-Grandma?"
"Oh, yes, darling," said Great-Grandma. She smiled as she slid a pan of plump hamantaschen into the oven.
"Did you ever go on the subway again?" asked Shana.
"Oh, yes," said Great-Grandma, using a corner of her apron to wipe a smudge of flour from Shana's nose. "I studied an English book during every ride, so the subway taught me English—it also taught me to keep a spare nickel in my pocket, just in case."
