Read the passage and answer the question.

1. Anna didn't care about Christmas gifts or decorating Christmas trees. She did not wish for Santa or a new toy. For 6 year old Anna eating marshmallows without her mother breathing down her neck was more important than the holiday season. She had been counting days on her little fingers when Halloween will come and when she will be the official owner of her own sweets with various choices.
2. Anna was busy counting her Halloween harvest. This year she had gone one block extra because she was no longer a baby who cried when the street light flickers at night. Yes, there were times when she thought she might drop her candy basket and run home to her mother crying but this year Anna decided to become a big girl and earn extra sweets for herself without her big sister or mother accompanying her.
3. Proud of herself for not letting the street lights scare her, Anna opened a caramel candy and popped it in her mouth as a reward. "Ann…I've to rush to the supermarket to get some groceries, it will take me a while okay…you hear me dear?" Anna instantly replied "Yes, mom!" Anna went back to counting her candies from Halloween when suddenly she remembered her mother saying, "it will take me a while". Anna staring at her marshmallow collection started wondering what if she finished it all before her mother comes back?
4. Usually when she eats more than 3 pieces her mother gives her the look, first the look, than the full name and lastly the "no more candies for ten days as a punishment". A sudden impulse took over her and she started filling her mouth with marshmallows. First went the pink ones, then the yellow then the white. She was giggling internally thinking there's no one to give her the disapproving look. Anna thought to chew them at once and relish it all. The only problem was she couldn't move her jaw! She tried a few movements but she had stuffed too many of them. Her mouth hurt.
5. After 5 brave seconds Anna broke into tears in pain and frustration. But no one was in the house. Thinking about this made Anna's tears roll faster. Now she missed her mother's glare. It was not until an hour later her mother came home, by the time Anna had enough time to count the numbers of marshmallows she stuffed in her mouth. "8!" she thought to herself. It took her only eight of them to make her hate marshmallows for life.
