description of

Explanation:

To determine the characteristic of narrative poetry in the excerpt, we analyze each option:

• "Description of setting": The lines don't describe a setting (like time, place).
• "Use of symbols": No symbols (objects with deeper meaning) are present.
• "Figurative language": The lines are literal, not using metaphors, similes, etc.
• "Character development": The speaker's actions (grinning, rushing to tell, feeling happy/wise) show their emotions and actions, developing the character.

Answer:

character development
