What Will She Bring

Wanda wants to bring a dish to the family picnic. But she is too little to cook.

She cannot bring ribs. Dad says, “The grill is too hot.”

She cannot boil potatoes for salad. Mom says, “The stove is not for children.”

Wanda feels sad. But then she has an idea!

Wanda asks Grandma to walk with her down the road. They find a bush with blueberries. Wanda picks the bluest berries and brings them home to wash.

Wanda puts the clean berries in a beautiful bowl. Wanda takes the full bowl to the picnic.

Everyone loves the berries. They say, “Wanda brought a delicious treat!”
