He’ll take us to the ice-cream shop after dinner. ” Grandma came out of the house to greet them. “ Oh, hi! Did you have a good trip?” she asked.

Only good girls and boys get to have ice cream, ” Grandpa said, smiling. “ Are you hungry?” asked Grandma. “ Dinner is almost ready. After you take everything upstairs, come to the dining room. ”
