What is the difference between an "inside" thought and an "outside" thought?
An "inside thought" is something you think quietly in your head. It’s a thought that you keep to yourself, like a secret just for you. You don’t need to say it out loud, especially if it might hurt someone’s feelings or isn’t the right time to share it. For example, if you think, “I don’t like broccoli,” you can keep that thought inside so it doesn’t hurt someone who made dinner.
An "outside thought" is a thought you share out loud with others. It’s something helpful or kind, or maybe it’s a question you have for someone. You say it when it’s the right time to talk and when it’s okay to share. Like, if you want to say, “Thank you for dinner!” that’s an outside thought because it’s kind and polite.
How did the lady's point of view change from the beginning of the story to the end?
