David couldn’t wait to get off work, for he had an exciting weekend planned. He and his seven-year-old son, Landon, were going on a camping trip. As David drove toward the Greenville suburb where Landon lived with his mother, the guilt gnawed at him. He hated that since the divorce nearly a year ago he had not spent the quality time with Landon that he now wished he had. The two-hour drive to Landon’s new home only complicated the wish for more frequent visits. David decided he was not going to dwell on the past but instead look to the future. This weekend camping trip was just what they needed.

2 When David arrived, Landon met him at the door, grinning like someone who’d just won the lottery. An hour later they were setting up camp. Before long, they headed to the creek bank with fishing poles in hand. As they each sat on a five-gallon bucket, few words were spoken, but David knew that old wounds were healing. As Landon reeled in a tiny bream, he looked over at his dad and said, "You know what, Dad? This is the most fun I’ve ever had." Even though his throat was tightening in an effort to hold back tears, David managed to say, "Me too, Son. Me, too."

From which point of view is the story told?

A) Landon’s

B) a friend of David's

C) a third-person narrator's

D) Landon’s mom’s
