The door closed behind Malik, making Mama look up from the hot meal. “Just in time for dinner. Will you ___24___ Gidda, please?” Gidda was staying in Malik’s bedroom. He didn’t ___25___ giving up his room for his 82-year-old grandmother at first. But then she didn’t leave. Malik ___26___ over her suitcase on the door. “Sorry,” Gidda said. “I’m just a nuisance (讨厌的人) here. I’m ___27___ .” Malik didn’t answer as he helped her up from her chair.
At dinner, Mama asked Malik, “How’s your ___28___ with the coach?”
Malik was captain of school soccer team, and he had to discuss a fundraiser with the coach. They’d have to raise hundreds of dollars to ___29___ their old shirts, and that seemed unlikely unless Malik came up with a(n) ___30___ plan.
Unwillingly, Malik said, “It’s just team stuff.” Changing the ___31___, Malik turned to Gidda. “Do you want to go sit outside after dinner?”
Gidda agreed. In the soft warmth of the evening, Gidda settled herself beneath the enormous fig (无花果) tree. “Feels like home,” she said. But Malik ___32___, “It drops figs everywhere.” Right then, a fig landed on his head. Gidda laughed, picked it up, and took a ___33___. “Perfect. Pick me a bunch. I’ll make fig cakes.”
The next morning, Malik found Gidda making fig cakes in the kitchen. She offered him one. Malik, hoping it wasn’t too awful, put it in his mouth. His eyes ___34___ as he chewed. It was delicious. He eyed the tree in the backyard. How many fig cakes could it ___35___? Malik grabbed his phone and started ___36___ in a rush of excitement. An hour later, most of the soccer team gathered in the kitchen, and ate up fig cakes. “Gidda’s Fabulous (极好的) Fig Cakes!” Malik said. “We’ll ___37___ them! Gidda said they were easy to make; she’ll ___38___ us how.”
At dinner that night, Gidda shared their plan with Mama, smiling ___39___ as she repeated the title Malik gave on her. “Team Grandmother.”
The next day, the kitchen was full of ___40___. Walking slowly among the excited boys, Gidda taught them to make fig cakes. Soon the fig cakes piled up.
As Malik ___41___, Gidda’s Fabulous Fig Cakes were a huge hit and they were quickly sold out.
When the new ___42___ arrived just in time for opening game, Coach Garcia invited Gidda to watch. She arrived early, and waved at Malik. Then she turned ___43___ to show off her shirt. On the back were the words Team Grandmother.
