"We've run out of a few things, Aisyah,"
Madam Syafiqah said as she checked the kitchen
cabinet one morning. "Do you want to follow me
to the supermarket to get them ?" Aisyah jumped
at the chance. They got ready for the trip to
the neighborhood supermarket and left. Aisyah
enjoyed going to the supermarket with her
mother. She loved walking through the aisles and
choosing the items to put into the trolley. It
made her feel very grown up. She rarely got to
follow her mother there as she normally went in
the morning when Aisyah was in school. That
day, her mother's shopping list was quite long.
Besides the usual stuff, her mother was planning
to buy extra flour, eggs, butter, sugar and
cooking chocolate. Aisyah had an idea what her
mother was going to bake and she was pleased.
Chocolate cake was her favorite ! Aisyah had
quite a busy time at the supermarket. She had to
run over to a few aisles to get what her mother
needed while her mother looked for some other
items. It was a weekend, so the place was quite
packed. After an hour, they left, happy to
have managed to buy all that they needed. |
