27    !” I shouted angrily. She walked away with her little heart               28    . On the kitchen floor later, I found some flowers by the door.
That night, while I lay   29    in bed, a voice in my deep heart said, “While    30    with a stranger, you are so polite, but with the children you love, you are so easily       31   .
