There was a knockon the back door. " Coming, coming, " called Amelia Bedelia. She opened the door.

" Oh, it's you, Cousin Alcolu, " she said. " Do come in. " " Mrs. Rogers asked me to help out today, " said Alcolu. " Is she having a party or something?" " Every Tuesday, " said Amelia Bedelia, “ some ladies get together. They just sew and talk. But today Miss Alma is in for a real surprise. Those other ladies are giving Miss Alma a shower! "

" A shower?" said Alcolu. " A surprise shower! " said Amelia Bedelia. " Now why would they do that to her?" asked Alcolu. " Miss Alma is nice. " " I don't know, " said Amelia Bedelia.

" She is about to get married. They should do somethingnice for her. She can give herself a shower. ” " Your folks do havefunny ways, " said Alcolu.

" Say, are you cooking something?" " My cupcakes! " said Amelia Bedelia. She ran to the oven. " Just right, " she said. " They need to cool a bit. Then I will ice them. "
