Answer:
I'm assuming that you are talking about Esperanza Rising, which was a good book. It has been a while since I've read it, but, I'll try my best. 6 years ago.... wow.
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, Esperanza was excited to see Miguel. I'm pretty sure since he was a peasant, and she was someone who was rich, she liked to see him because she liked him? She said something about a river and they are on 2 different sides... So she was happy to see him.
BTW... Please write in the comments if I spoiled anything, or if I got something wrong. Thanks.
