gets annoyed because he had to spend his time with
his grandma who he didn’t like. In fact, he would
do anything other than talking to his grandma. He

a medicine at 11 o'clock but he didn’t want to. He
hated his grandma because she always said things
that are not true such as, eating worms is good for
you. George knew that was a lie. She would even say
things like getting older is a sign of being weaker and
that is why she isn’t very tall. When it was about time
to give medicine to his grandma, he wondered how
he could make his grandma eat her own words. He

medicine by putting anything in her medicine.
