Read this excerpt from "The Medicine Bag."

Nothing bothered Cheryl about bringing her friends to see Grandpa. Every day after school started, there'd be a crew of giggling little girls or round-eyed little boys crowded around the old man on the patio, where he'd gotten in the habit of sitting every afternoon.

Grandpa would smile in his gentle way and patiently answer their questions, or he'd tell them stories of brave warriors, ghosts, animals; and the kids listened in awed silence. Those little guys thought Grandpa was great.

Which statement best describes a symbol in this excerpt?

A. Cheryl is Martin's younger sister.

B. Cheryl represents childhood innocence.

C. The little kids are curious about Grandpa.

D. The little kids represent warriors and ghosts.
