Mrs. Mendoza takes her son and daughter to the park
on Saturday mornings. The park has a small playground for
young children. Her children like to play on the swings, slides, and teeter-totters. Mrs.
Mendoza and her children spend several hours at the park. When the children get
hungry, Mrs. Mendoza takes them to Mc Donald’s for lunch. The children eat
hamburgers.
Last week, Mrs. Mendoza’s neighbor asked her to take her children to the park,
too. Mrs. Mendoza doesn’t want to take other people’s children to the park, but she
doesn’t want to hurt her neighbor’s feelings. What should she do? What should she say
to her neighbor?
