Gracie promised her mom that she would help with chores around the house. She is saving
all the money her mother gives her for completing chores, so she can buy a new string of pearls. The string of
pearls is going to be a gift for her mother’s birthday. Gracie woke up early Saturday morning to begin helping
around the house.

First thing she did was grab the basket of dirty clothes from the bathroom. She took the pile
of clothes into the laundry room so her mother could sort them to wash. Then she picked up all the pairs of
shoes throughout the house and put them away. Gracie took a break to eat a bowl of soup and a pack of
crackers for lunch. After lunch, Gracie helped her mom wash a pile of dishes. Once the dishes were done,
Gracie took all of the bundles of newspapers to the recycling bin in the cart port. Then Gracie turned her
attention on yard work. Gracie raked the yard into piles of leaves and pulled the weed from the bed of flowers.
After a long day of work Gracie’s mom gave her ten dollars for all her hard work. Gracie is excited because
she only needs twenty more dollars to buy her mom a string of pearls.
