Henry Goes Shopping
Henry's mom asked him if he
would like to run an errand for her. She was baking a cake
and noticed she was almost out of sugar.
Henry was excited about
going to the store. He only lived one block away. This
was the first time he would go all by himself.
Mom gave him a $5.00
bill. She said he should buy a five-pound bag of sugar, a
newspaper for 25 cents, and a Popsicle to eat on the way home.
Henry put the money safely
into his pocket and headed for the store. Once inside he found
the sugar right away. He went to the frozen food section to
look for Popsicles. It didn't take long to decide upon a
blue one. The last thing he picked up was the
newspaper. He gave the cashier the money, took the bag, and
headed out the door.
The Popsicle was very good
because the sun was hot. Soon Henry was giving his mom the
bag.
"Henry, you did a great
job," said his mom.
"Thanks," said
Henry!
