Market Day

On Saturdays, Grandpa took Omar to the market. Omar carried the basket. Grandpa carried the money. Omar's job was to pick the apples. He learned to press each one gently with his thumb. A soft spot meant the apple would be brown inside. One week Grandpa let Omar carry the money instead. Omar counted the change twice. He got it right both times.

  2. 2. What did Omar do before he was allowed to carry the money?

The Boots by the Door

Priya's boots were too small. Her toes pressed against the ends. But they were red, and she loved them. For a week she said nothing. Then she could not run at recess without it hurting. She told her mom. Her mom did not laugh. They took the red boots to the thrift store and found a bigger pair, green this time. Priya kept the red ones by the door for a month before she let them go.

  1. 1. Where did they get the new boots?
  2. 2. What happened after Priya could not run at recess?
