A Visit to Grandmother

Today Arslan and his family visit his grandmother in a small Turkmen village. Arslan’s mother brings fresh corek. His father brings fruit. Arslan carries a small drawing he made at school.

When they arrive, his grandmother and grandfather are waiting outside. His grandmother gives Arslan a warm hug. She is very happy to see him. They go inside and sit on a soft carpet. His grandmother makes tea and puts sweets on the table.

Arslan shows his drawing. Everyone smiles. His grandfather tells a short story from his childhood. Arslan listens carefully.

Later, Arslan helps his grandmother water the flowers in the yard. Before going home, they take a family photo.

Arslan thinks, “I love visiting my grandmother.”
