I asked.She didn't say a word, but __13__ her head.I took the box and cautiously opened it.There inside, glistening green, a fried marble __14__ from a golden chain.Then I looked into that eight－year－old __15__ and saw the question in her dark brown eyes.In a flash, I knew - she had __16__ it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or __17__ her childish joys or sorrows.      I meant it when I whispered, "Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful.Your mother would __18__ it."
