I read the story "The Good Deed" by Marion Dane Bauer. This story is about a girl scout, Heather, reading to a woman Miss Benson, who is blind, to get a new badge. A girl across from Miss Benson's apartment, Risa, joined her. Heather didn't like Risa joining her. The next time Heather went to read, the book Heather was reading was gone. Heather went to Risa's apartment and found the book. She thought Risa stole the book and found out Miss Benson gave it to her. They became friends.

At first Heather judged Risa, and then when she found out what Risa's life is really like, she changed her view of her.

I liked the story.
