Story 9. A Dumpling Party.
One day, Lucy's grandma hurt her ankle.
So, she had to sit in a chair all day.
Soon, you will be able to walk around with a cane, the doctor told her.
But for now, I want you to keep the weight off your ankle.
Everyone in the family wanted to help Grandma.
They thought and thought.
Suddenly, Lucy had an idea.
She told her mother about her plan.
Together, they went to the store and bought what they needed.
Then, they drove to Grandma's house.
We came to have a dumpling party with you, Lucy told her Grandma.
I know that dumplings are your favourite food.
Today, we are going to make many different kinds of dumplings.
Lucy and her mom worked hard for an hour and made lots of dumplings.
Then, they boiled some water and cooked the dumplings.
Soon, everyone was enjoying a big bowl of steaming hot dumplings.
Best of all Lucy's grandma wasn't sad anymore she was smiling.
