Reading

Henry is at the supermarket, and he’s really upset. He just bought some groceries and he can’t believe he just spent sixty dollars. He bought only a few oranges, a few apples, a little milk, a little ice cream and a few eggs.

He also bought just a little coffee, a few onions, a few bananas, a little rice, a little cheese and a few lemons. He didn’t buy very much fish, he didn’t buy very many grapes, and he didn’t buy very much meat. Henry just spent sixty dollars, but he’s walking out of the supermarket with only two bags of groceries. No wonder he’s upset.
