Minli observes as the twins celebrate their successful plot against the Green Tiger: “with their dimpled faces swollen with smiles and their matching, bright red clothing, they looked like two rolling berries” (175). They're still celebrating when their grandfather, A-Gong, suddenly arrives, carrying weapons. He reveals he’s been following the twins ever since they snuck out of their village and engaged their plan to kill the Green Tiger. A-Fu and Da-Fu tell him, “We knew it would work…we used his anger against him just like you said we should!” (176). A-Gong insists he didn’t encourage the twins to execute this risky plan on their own, but the twins revel in their success, delighted at having freed their village. Minli begs A-Gong to help Dragon, and A-Gong agrees to use his special medicine bag to counteract the poison from the Green Tiger’s claws and teeth. He says they need to move quickly, and Minli hopes they’re not too late.
