Porridge
Hlengiwe Zondi and Zimbili Dlamini
Catherine Groenewald
Zama is getting ready for school.
Dad is cooking porridge for breakfast.
"Mom makes the best porridge!" says Zama.
Porridge gives Zama energy for school.
Dad pours the milk, with love.
"Dad, I think this porridge needs more sugar," says Zama.
"Mom's porridge tastes much better than Dad's porridge," thinks Zama.
"Dad, please can I have more sugar?" asks Zama.
Dad gives Zama more sugar.
"Wu! Dad! You put salt on my porridge!"
"Dad, when will Mom be home?" asks Zama.
