A Gift Made with Love
by Alicia Skelton
Carlos and Carla wanted to do something really special for their parents. Their parents had been married for 15 years. They
were celebrating their anniversary on Friday. Carlos and Carla thought long and hard about what to buy them. They could not
think of the perfect gift though.
On Tuesday night, their mom came home upset. Carla asked her what was wrong. Her mom said, "Well, your father and I
were going to go out to dinner on Friday but it is just too much money." All of a sudden Carlos had the perfect idea of what to do
for their parents' anniversary. Carla and Carlos would cook their parents an anniversary dinner.
When Friday came, Carla and Carlos were ready. They had made a menu for their parents to order from. Their mom smiled,
and their dad laughed and asked, "So you guys are going to cook us dinner?"
"That sounds just wonderful!" their mother said.
Carlos and Carla's parents chose the meal they wanted. The kids set out for the kitchen. They got to work preparing a
delicious feast for their parents. Carla and Carlos prepared a dinner of cereal, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, carrot sticks,
grapes, cheese and crackers, and two glasses of orange juice. Their parents said it was the best anniversary dinner ever!
