We knew we were inand ran away as fast as we could. I was tooof getting caught that first night. However, a few days later. I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smilebut I was no longer to feelin her presence. I made up my mind that I would my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had seven dollars. I put the money in an envelope with a notethat I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would the cost for repairing it. I waited until it was dark, then put the envelope through the letter slot in her door. The next day, I the old lady her paper and was able tothe warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me for the paper and said, “Here, I have something for you.” It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and ate the cookies as I continued my way. After several cookies, I an envelope and pulled it out. When I opened the envelope, I was very. Inside was the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m of you.”
