MOTHER’S DAY

Mother’s day is coming. Chelsea and Sandy want to make a special present for their mother. What can they make?

“Mother loves flowers. Let’s buy some roses for her,” says Chelsea.

“Mother likes sweets, too. Let’s buy a box of chocolate for her,” says Sandy.

“Flowers and chocolate will not live long. I want to give our mother something that can live up to the next Mother’s day,” says Chelsea.

The sisters think and think, but they cannot choose the best idea.

“I’ve got an idea!” says Sandy and runs to her room. When she comes back she brings paper, coloured pencils, felt-tip pens, glue and many other things. The girls start to work; they make a surprise for their mom.

The Mother’s day comes. Mother cooks breakfast in the kitchen. Chelsea and Sandy come to the kitchen without a sound.

“Surprise! Happy Mother’s day!” shout the sisters and give their mom a beautiful poster. There are red and yellow flowers, boxes with chocolate and a nice poem about their loving mommy. The poem tells that the mother is very beautiful and can cook very tasty things, and that Chelsea and Sandy love their mommy very-very much.

Chelsea and Sandy’s mother is so happy! She kisses her daughters and thanks for the wonderful present. And they have tea with cake for breakfast together.
