🌟 Let's Start

Have you ever gone to the market with someone in your family? Markets are exciting places with lots of sounds, colours, and people. Today we will hear a story about Amina and her trip to the market.

📚 The Story

One Saturday morning, Amina woke up early. Her mother said, "Today we are going to Oyingbo Market to buy food for the week." Amina was excited!

First, Amina and her mother took a yellow danfo bus to the market. The bus was crowded, but they found a seat near the window.

Next, they arrived at the market. It was very busy! They walked to the vegetable section. Amina's mother bought tomatoes, peppers, and onions from a friendly trader. The trader gave Amina a small tomato as a gift.

Then, they went to buy rice and beans. Amina helped carry the bag of beans. She felt proud and strong.

Finally, they took another danfo bus home. Amina helped her mother put all the food in the kitchen. "Thank you for helping me," her mother said with a big smile.
