Read the following excerpt, then answer the question. Crazy Maisie by Pat Lessie
At fifty years old, Maisie DeVore signed up for swimming lessons along with her two youngest children. She hadn't had a chance to learn to swim before. Maisie grew up on a Kansas farm. It had a shallow creek, but nobody swam in it.

They took their lessons at the local recreation area, in a lake formed by damming a stream. Maisie loved swimming. And when her husband told her she was too old to learn, she put him in his place with farm talk—“Horse colic, Jim!"

On the way home from the lake, Maisie often talked about how nice it would be to have a swimming pool in town. Her children agreed.

Maisie made up her mind to collect money for a town pool. This was a big problem in her small town of just six hundred. People didn't have extra money."Can't help ya," was all she got.

“Bumblefoot," she thought.

Maisie considered the ways she could get lots of money.

An example of textual evidence is:

Maisie doesn't let anybody tell her no.
Maisie is very determined.
And when her husband told her she was too old to learn, she put him in his place with farm talk—“Horse colic, Jim!"
