"Brrr," said Brenda.
Grandma said, "It is getting cooler, You need a warm drink." And she gave Brenda a cup of warm cocoa. But Brenda was still cold.
"Brrr," said Brenda.
Grandma said, "It is getting
cooler. You need a warm jacket."
And she put her big jacket around Brenda, But Brenda was still cold. "Brr," said Brenda.
Grandma said, "It is getting cooler. You need a warm place to sit." And she put Brenda on her lap.
"Mmmmm," said Brenda. "I'm not cold anymore."
