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.

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).
