13.A Sweet FindIt was nearly(56)impossible(possible)to get my seven-old granddaughter,Madison,out the door for school.She didn't want to get out of bed.She didn't like the shirt(57)picked (pick)out for her.The uniform skirt didn't feel good.By the time I got her into the car,she was on the point of crying."Madison,"I said."I know you're tired,but try to put(58)a  smile on your face.Remember how much fun we had at Disneyland?"
Maybe it was too much fun.For Madison's birthday,we'd taken her and her best friend to Disneyland.The girls had a good time.They(59)rode (ride) every ride of their choice.We got home well after her usual bedtime,but I wasn't expecting Madison's dramatic performance the following morning.I thought she'd be happy to share the magical time at Disneyland,but instead she sat in the back seat,(60)sobbing (sob).
I tried to hold back my(61)anger  (angry).I took a deep breath and tried to reason with her.Nothing worked.I was tired too,(62)and   I hadn't had my breakfast yet.
Suddenly the crying stopped and Madison screamed.Unwillingly,I glanced back.
"Grandma!Look at(63)whatI found!"she shouted.
Madison held it up for me(64)to see   (see).A little oink candy heart with red lettering.It must have been a gift from her school's Valentine's Day party."What does it say?"I asked.
"Smile!"she said.
Madison put the candy(65)into  her mouth and we both did exactly that.
