George^s Grandma is a grizzly, grumpy, selfish old woman with pale brown teeth and a small puckered up mouth like a dog^s bottom. Four times a day she takes a large spoonful of medicine, but it doesn^t seem to do her any good. She^s always just as poisonous after she^s takes it as she was before. When George is left to look after her one morning, it^s just the chance he needs.
