Grandma Is Sick

Grandma baked Jim cookies. She sewed his clothes. She even fixed his bike tire when it was flat.
But one day, Grandma felt sick. “I am too tired to bake cookies and fix bikes,” she told Jim. “I don’t even feel well enough to sew.”
Grandma was sick for weeks and weeks. Jim felt very sad. “Grandma can’t take care of me,” he told his father.
Dad thought about this. “Maybe you can take care of her.”
Dad helped Jim to bake Grandma’s favorite carrot cake. He helped Jim to make a Get Well card. He even helped Jim to fix the flat tire on Grandma’s bike. “That way, when she feels better, she can ride,” Dad said.
Grandma took a bite of cake. She looked at the card and at her bike. Then she gave Jim a big hug. “Thank you for taking care of me,” she said. “I feel better already!”
