Mrs. Chen looks like she could use some help.
Let’s carry her grocery bags!

You have a lot of vegetables in here!
I’m making vegetable soup tonight. Maybe I could make some for your family too.

Matt and Mandy keep helping Mrs. Chen each week. She shares fun stories from her childhood.
Once when I was your age, I got stuck in a tree!
