Grandparents Day
Grandparents Day is on the first Sunday in September. It is a day to show love to grandparents. It is celebrated in a few countries around the world.
The night before Grandparents Day,Nancy and May can’t go to sleep because they want to do something for their grandparents. “Now,” says Nancy,“it’s time for us to do something for our grandparents. Let’s think about a surprise for them. ” The children think and think. At last May gets a good idea. She says,“Oh,I’ll tell you. ” And she begins to talk very fast. “Oh,oh!” says Nancy. “That is just the thing!”
The next morning the children get up early. They are very busy making breakfast. After some time,they call their grandparents. “Happy Grandparents Day!” they say. “Breakfast is ready. ” “Oh,what a surprise!” their grandparents cry.
Your grandparents know a lot. What do they teach you? Does your grandpa teach you how to fish? Does your grandma show you how to bake cookies? If you think of what your parents do for you,just remember that your grandparents do that for them,too! How can you return the favour? Do they need your help now? Maybe they would like to see you or hear you on the phone!
