Today is a special day!
It is Gogo Maria’s birthday.
The whole family comes together for a big braai.

While Mama and Babe Nkosi are cooking, Mama Nkosi says: “Oh no! There are a few ingredients missing!”

Mama Nkosi calls the three children Sipho, Thembi and Themba. “Can you go to the supermarket and buy the missing ingredients please?”

“Here is the shopping list and the money. If you have money left, you can buy sweets for yourselves!”

The three children walk to the supermarket.

“This is the list that Mama gave us.”

“So what do we need exactly? Oh, so many things.”

The three children put the groceries in the shopping basket.

“This should be everything! How much does it cost? Let’s calculate!”

Now the children know how much it costs.
“But how much money do we have left for sweets?”

Yay, we have R6 left! One lollipop costs R2.

“How many lollipops can we buy?”

“If we have R6 left and one lollipop costs R2, we can buy 3 lollipops!

While walking home, the children eat their lollipops.

At home Mama Nkosi says: “Thank you so much! I am proud of you! Now we can do the Braai!
