GOING SHOPPING
Last Saturday afternoon, Freds mother decided to go shopping.
She asked Freds help. So they caught a bus to town.
The bus stopped near a big supermarket and they went inside
carrying a bag. Fred wasnt very happy because he hates shopping! He
thinks is boring!
Inside the shop, Freds mother picked some goods that they needed fruit, bread, some vegetablesbut she couldnt find any rice. Fred, finally found it near the cereals. His mother was pleased.
Then Freds mother asked him to bring a bottle of coke. Fred went look for it, but the bottles were in a
difficult place so he had to climb on a box to reach for it. When he jumped down, he fell and hurt his leg.
To compensate him for his effort, Freds mother bought him an ice-cream. His leg was hurting a lot so
his mother phoned Freds father that came to drive them home.
When they got back, Fred went to bed to rest his leg!
