The whining turned to murmrs of excitement.“Emma！”“She even manages through the city.” “We could follow her.” “You’re a genius！”
The girls whooped, yelled and clapped for joy. They bundled up6 and excitedly trooped down the hall to Emma’s room. They found her in the hallway and cornered her before she could even open her door.
“What’s all the excitement？” she asked, smiling.
“Can we follow you to the cafeteria？ We’re blind in this storm.”
They all laughed.
“I suppose so. I’ll go first, and you could hold on to each other’s shoulders.”
“Can we go now？” one girl begged. “I’m starving.”
Emma smiled again. “Sure, let me just get Missy ready.”
She went into her room and returned moments later with a dog on a harness. The girls lined up obediently7 at the front door, ready to face the cold. They each placed their hands on the shoulders of the girl in front of them.
Emma opened the door to lead them out. “I guess,” she smiled. “you could call this the blind leading the seeing.”
And with that, Emma and her seeing-eye dog, Missy, led her troop of hungry ducks to the cafeteria.
