Question

“The zoo has money problem,” Grandmother Sandy said.
Angel listened. She heard that Fresno’s Chaffee Zoo didn’t have enough money to take care of its animals.
Angel loved animals. She planned to study them when she grew up. Angel’s family had four cats. Angel took good care of them and made sure that they always had food and water.
Angel felt sorry for the zoo animals. While the others in the family were cooking dinner, Angel was cooking up a way to help the animals. She decided to write a letter to show how she felt. At the end of the letter, she wrote: “Give a dollar, help an animal.” She sent the letter and a dollar to The Fresno Bee, a local newspaper.
A few days after that, Angel’s letter was published. Almost immediately, people began sending in money. Angel’s letter was having effect!
At school, Angel went to each classroom to read the letter that appeared on the newspaper. She asked students in her school to give money to the zoo. Next, Angel was asked to appear on television. She was invited to be on a popular talk show.
