“Let’s ask Mother if we can buy some bananas,” said Bobby.
Bobby and Betty ran in to Mother.
“O Mother,” said Betty. “The banana man is coming. Please buy some bananas.”
“Please, Mother,” said Bobby.
“You may buy a dozen for me,” said Mother. “Betty, it is your turn to buy today.”
“Why can’t I do it?” asked Bobby.
“Not this time,” said Mother. “It is Betty’s turn today.”
Mother gave Betty thirty-five cents, and she bought a dozen bananas.
The banana man then went down the street calling, “Ba-na-nas! Ba-na-nas! Ba-na-nas!”
