The FireFighter
Julie wanted to be a firefighter when she grew up. “I will put out fires,” she told her
friends at lunch. “I will save people.
I will even drive a fire
truck.”
The boys in her class laughed. “Only men can be firefighters,”
they said. “Women are not strong. They cannot lift a heavy
hose or carry people to safety. Women are too short to drive
a fire truck.”
“Women can be firefighters,” Julie said. “You’ll see.”
The next day was Show and Tell. Julie went first. “I would like
you to meet someone,” she told her class. Just then, a tall,
strong woman walked in. She wore yellow firefighter’s clothes
and a tall yellow hat. She carried a heavy hose. Julie smiled.
“This is my sister, Jean. She is a firefighter.”

Grandma Is Sick
Grandma baked Jim cookies. She sewed his clothes. She even fixed his bike tire
when it was flat.
But one day, Grandma felt sick. “I am too tired to bake cookies and fix bikes,” she told
Jim. “I don’t even feel well enough to sew.”
Grandma was sick for weeks and weeks. Jim felt very sad. “Grandma can’t take care
of me,” he told his father.
Dad thought about this. “Maybe you can take care of her.”
Dad helped Jim to bake Grandma’s favorite carrot cake. He helped Jim to make a
Get
Well
card. He even helped Jim to fix the flat tire on Grandma’s bike. “That way, when
she feels better, she can ride,” Dad said.
Grandma took a bite of cake. She looked at the card and at her bike.
Then she gave
Jim a big hug. “Thank you for taking care of me,” she said. “I feel better already!”
