Maura and her grandmother were going into the city today to do some shopping. Maura loved spending time with her grandmother. The two of them always had so much to talk about. Maura loved to hear about all the funny things her grandmother did when she was Maura's age.
At 10 a. m., Grandma pulled into the driveway to pick up Maura. She honked the horn (按喇叭) as she always did on their big shopping days.
Maura ran out to the car, dressed in the new dress Grandma bought her on their last trip. Maura knew that Grandma loved to see her wearing the clothes she had bought her.
As expected, Grandma told Maura some more funny things she did when she was Maura's age. Today, she told Maura how she and her best friend, Sue, were so hungry for candy one day in July that they decided to put on a performance and charge admission (收入场费).
The two girls dressed up like clowns (小丑). Grandma said people laughed so hard that the two girls were able to buy all kinds of candies that day. Maura made a note to herself to try that some day.
Before they knew it, Maura and Grandma were in the city. Grandma found a parking lot, and away they went to begin their shopping!
