"I'm going shopping in the village," George's mother said to George on Saturday morning." So be a good boy and don't get into trouble. And don't forget 1 good care of Grandma." Then sb e went out.
Grandma 2 in the chair by the window when she opened one little eye and said,
" Now you heard 3 your mother said, George."" Yes, Grandma," George said.
George was bored to tears. He didn't have a brother or a sister. His father was a farmer, and the farm they lived on was miles away from anywhere,4 there were never any children to play with. He was tired of staring (注视) at hundreds of pigs, hens, cows and sheep. He was especially tired of having to live in the house with his grandma. Looking after her all by himself was hardly 5 way to spend a Saturday morning.
" Go and make me a cup of tea for a start,6 sugar and milk." Grandma said. Most grandmothers are lovely, kind, helpful old ladies, but not this one. George's grandma was a woman who was always complaining(抱怨) about something or other. She spent all day 7 on her chair by the window.
George was told that Grandma used to be a gentle lady, but as she grew older, she was not able to look after 8 and even worse, she was easy to get angry.
" We9 be nice to the old, George," His mother always told him.
Thinking of this, George went into the kitchen and made Grandma a cup of tea with a teabag. He put one spoon of sugar and some milk in it. He stirred(搅拌) the tea well and carried it into the living room10 .
