A Braai Day
Today is a special day!
It is Gogo Maria's birthday.
The whole family is coming
together for a big braai.
Mama and Baba Nkosi
start to prepare for the
braai.
Mama Nkosi says, "Oh no!
There are a few
ingredients missing!"
Mama Nkosi calls the
children, Sipho, Thembi,
and Themba.
"Can you go to the
supermarket and buy the
missing ingredients,
please?" asks Mama Nkosi.
"Here is the shopping list
and money. If you have
money left over, you can
buy sweets for yourselves!"
The three children walk to
the shop.
"This is the list that Mama
gave us."
"So what do we need
exactly?"
"These are the things that
we need."
The three children put the
groceries in the shopping
basket.
"This should be everything!
How much does it cost?
Let's calculate!"
Now the children know
how much it costs.
"How much money do we
have left for sweets?"
"Yay, we have R6 left! One
lollipop costs R2."
"How many lollipops can
we buy?"
"If we have R6 left and 1
lollipop costs R2, we can
buy 3 lollipops!
While walking home, the
children eat their lollipops.
At home Mama Nkosi says,
"Thank you so much, I am
proud of you! Now we can
prepare for the braai."
