Grandma called me in from the yard． "Would you please go to the store for me？ I'm ready to make cakes， and there isn't enough yeast （酵母）． Take a quarter from my little change（1） 　　．" I found Grandma's wallet and put the quarter in my pocket．

   I was soon in the little general store that（2） 　　our farming community． "Mr． Jenkins，" I said， "Grandma needs some yeast．" Mr． Jenkins set three cakes of yeast on the counter． His eyes shone， and he（3） 　　at me． "And what else do you need？" I knew what he meant． I was always allowed to pick a penny candy when I came to the store with Grandma． "How much （4） 　　do I have from a quarter？" I asked． "Seven cents．" Mr． Jenkins replied． I thought （5） 　　that quickly． I would have a nickel and two pennies back． I was sure Grandma wouldn't （6） 　　if I spent one penny， and if she were here， she might even say I could have them both． The （7） 　　I looked at the candy display， the more certain I became that I needed two pennies' worth as a reward for coming to the store alone． And I did so．

   "Thank you，" Grandma said when I （8） 　　the yeast on the table． "Did you put the change back in my wallet？" "Yes， Grandma．" I replied， hurrying out to the yard． "I hadn't really lied to Grandma，" I argued with myself． "I did （9） 　　all the change I had．"

   But I had（10） 　　two pennies without Grandma's permission（允 许）． The second piece of candy in my pocket didn't sound like a good idea any more． I knew I had lied to Grandma， and I was （11） 　　about it． Grandma loved me so much that I couldn't bear to keep anything from her．

   （12） 　　Grandma took the hot cakes from the oven， I told her about the candy． She（13） 　　when I finished my story． "I know just（14） 　　you feel，" she said． "We all feel like that when we've done（15） 　　deceitful （欺 骗 的）． I'm glad you told me about the pennies， and of course I'll forgive you．" Grandma hugged me tight， and suddenly I felt as though a big stone was gone from my stomach．
