Read together
Child: Can we buy a banana and an orange?
Grandma: Yes. Check the apple for bruises. Grapes should feel firm.
Child: The pear is soft. Is a peach better today?
Grandma: Two peaches. One mango if it smells sweet near the stem.
Child: Watermelon is huge. How do we know it is ready?
Grandma: Tap it — a deep sound is good. Strawberry boxes look fresh too.
Child: Cherry or lemon for the drink?
Grandma: Lemon for water. Cherries as a small treat.
Child: Banana, orange, apple, grapes, peach, mango, watermelon, strawberry, cherry, lemon.
Grandma: Perfect fruit list. Hold the bag carefully on the walk home.
Talk about it
Reflection
Which fruits did they buy, and how did they test the watermelon?
