Grandma called me in from the yard. "Would you please go to the store for me, Emma? I'm ready to make cakes, but there aren't enough eggs. Take 20 dollars from my wallet. "I found Grandma's wallet and put the money in my pocket.
I arrived at the store soon. "Mr. Jenkins, "I said, "Grandma needs some eggs. "
Mr. Jenkins set the eggs on the counter. He smiled at me. "And what else do you need? "I knew what he meant. I was always allowed to pick a piece of candy when I came to the store with Grandma. "How much change do I have from 20 dollars? "I asked. "Seven dollars. "Mr. Jenkins replied. I thought about that quickly. I was sure Grandma wouldn't care if I spent two dollars. The longer I looked at the candy display, the more certain I became that I needed two dollars' worth as a reward (奖励)for coming to the store alone. And I did so.
"Thank you, Emma" Grandma said when I laid the eggs on the table. Did you put the change back in my wallet? ""Yes, Grandma, hurrying out to the yard. "I hadn't really lied to Grandma, "I argued with myself. I did put back all the change I had. "
But I had spent two dollars without Grandma's permission（允许）. The second piece of candy in my pocket didn't sound like a good idea anymore. I knew I had lied to Grandma, and I was unhappy about it. Grandma loved me so much that I couldn't bear to keep anything from her.
When Grandma took the hot cakes from the oven, I told her about the candy.
She nodded when I finished my story. "I know just how you feel, "she said. "I'm glad you told me about the dollars, you are an honest kid and of course I'll forgive you. "Suddenly I felt relaxed as though a big stone was gone from my stomach.
