A boy walks around Train 17 holding a sheet of paper.

He asks everyone, “Could you sign this for me?”

Everyone asks, “May we look at it first?”

The boy shakes his head and says it is a secret.

Sister Lin walks over and also wants to know what is written on the paper.

The boy quietly asks her, “Can Grandpa have Friday off?”

It turns out his grandfather is the conductor, and the school has a concert on Friday.

Sister Lin signs with a smile: “Of course he may. We will all come listen.”
