Varun’s day out!
It was a warm sunny day, perfect for a picnic.
“Amma, I am bored at home.”, said Varun.
His mother said that they could go out for a picnic in the park.
“A picnic? Sounds exciting!”, said Varun.
They sat down and made a list of things to do and a list of things to eat. Then, they took an auto to the market to buy groceries.
At the vegetable shop, Varun asked, “Can we buy fresh carrots? We can make a tasty salad.”
Amma smiled, “Sure.”
Varun was curious at two similar looking vegetables and asked, “What are they called?”
Amma smiled, “The one that is white inside is called ash gourd and the other is called pumpkin.”
Then, Varun and Amma crossed the fruit shop. Varun said, “Amma, I think we need some fruits for the picnic?”
Varun had already decided which fruit he wanted. He wanted the big, green and juicy watermelon. Not just that, he also wanted the reddish yellow ripe mango from the stalls.
“Amma, there are so many types of rice and cereals here. Should we buy some?”
Amma then bought some maida, rice and black gram.
After coming back home, Varun helped Amma to store the vegetables, fruits and cereals in their place.
She then washed the rice and black gram to clean it. She then mixed and soaked them in water for some time.
“Amma, can I grind them with you?”
Amma and Varun made the batter together for making delicious dosas for lunch. They also packed coriander chutney and tomato chutney to eat with them. They packed the dosas in a round tiffin box and the chutneys in two small square boxes.
They grated the carrots, squeezed lemon and added salt to make a salad that they can eat as a snack.
“Amma, Can I taste some salad now?”, asked Varun.
Amma gave Varun some salad. “Yummm!” said Varun.
Now, they started to cut the watermelon and mango to pack them. Varun could not resist. He took a big bite of the mango and the juice of the mango dripped and fell on his shirt.
Amma saw Varun and burst into laughter. Varun joined his mother.
Now that all the food was ready and packed, both left to the park. Varun played on the swing and slide. After some time, Amma and Varun spread a cloth on the grass and laid out all the food they had packed.
“Thank you Amma. I had a wonderful day!”, said Varun and hugged his mother.
