Once upon a time, a long time ago, a young girl decided to crusade against ________________
punishment. She was tired of being hit by her parents, and she even felt guilty for those moments when
she had spanked her own little brothers and sisters while her parents were gone. She was, at this time
in her life, trying to ____________________ her enthusiasm for childrens rights into her beliefs about
love and kindness.
When she thought back to the earliest days of her life, she could remember her grandfather looking
down at her with a _____________________ smile. Though many thought he was
__________________, since he preferred always to eat steak and potatoes, she thought her grandfather
was perfect just the way he was. His extra weight made him more huggable and snuggly. She wanted to
do something that would honor her grandfather, so she began looking for a _______________________
who could help finance the non-profit organization she wanted to start. This organization would help
children find better foster homes, provide legal support for abused children, and make a public case for
childrens rights.
She began her organization and she saw change begin to happen; nothing could have possibly made her
happier than to see the ____________________________ effects of her companys efforts in childrens
lives. When she grew old and passed away, many attended her funeral. Instead of seeing a __________
in the coffin, all of the children shed helped saw an angel.
