BECAUSE OF WINN-DIXIE

India Opal Buloni lived in a trailer park in Florida with her father, the preacher.

One day he sent her to buy some groceries at the supermarket.

While Opal was shopping she heard a scuffle in the produce aisle.

The manager was yelling to catch a dog who was loose in the store.

The dog was running so fast that he knocked some fruits down.

All of a sudden, the dog stopped in front of Opal and smiled. What a strange sight!

She decided to take him home and ask her father if they could keep him. Opal named him Winn-Dixie.

When her father saw his face and heard Opal's plee he agreed to keep him for awhile.

After Opal made Winn-Dixie look pretty and smell good, she asked her father to tell her ten important things about her mother.

Her father told that her mother was: 1. funny 2. She had red hair and freckles. . .

3. She loved to plant things. 4. She could run fast. . .

5. She couldn't cook, 6. She loved stories and she loved to read. . .

7. She knew about all the stars in the sky. 8. She did not want to be a preacher's wife. . .

9. She drank too much. 10. She loved Opal very much. But she still left both of them behind.

Opal decided to write down these important things down so that if she ever met her mother, she would be able to recognize her.
