Going On a Picnic
Savannah and Charlotte worked real hard all
summer to prepare for the end of summer
picnic. Savannah grew tomatoes and green
peppers in her garden. Charlotte lives on a farm
and since the spring has been growing corn, lettuce,
and grapes.
A week before the picnic both girls harvested and packed their produce.
They decided that all of their hard work deserved a reward. They charged
others for their produce. Savannah charged one dollar for one tomato or
green pepper. Charlotte charged one dollar for a head of lettuce, fifty cents
for an ear of corn, and five cents for a grape.
