WAITING FOR THE PEDDLER
Mama was feeling sick.
"Lisa, I cannot make you a snack," she said.
"Can you watch out for the peddler while I rest?"
"Yes Mama," Lisa answered.
Soon, a man shouted, "Taho! Taho!"
Lisa ran. "Two cups please," she said.
Lisa paid the man.
She got one cup of taho and gave the other to Mama.
"Thank you. Lisa. I feel much better now," said Mama.
"You're welcome, Mama!"
