Anne and Peter were alone at home. Anne wondered where Mother was. Peter told her she was out shopping and would be back soon. They were both hungry and wanted their tea. Soon Mother came in. She explained to them why she was late. There had been so many people shopping. She also said tea would soon be ready. Anne wanted to see what Mother had in her bag. There were a lot of food things in it, it was heavy. Peter asked her about the marmalade because they had finished the pot at breakfast. But that time Mother had a larger pot to last them longer. There hadn`t been enough room in the bag to buy cornflakes and she asked Peter to buy a packet or two after tea. He said he would.
