Grandparents' Day is on the first Sunday in September. It is a day to celebrate grandparents. It is celebrated in a few countries around the world. It is always important to respect your elders.
The night before Grandparents' Day, Nancy and May couldn't go to sleep because they wanted to do something for their grandparents. "Now," said Nancy, "it's time for us to do something for our grandparents. Let's think about a surprise for them." The children thought and thought.
At last May got a good idea. She said, "Oh, I'll tell you." And she began to talk very fast. "Oh, oh!" said Nancy. "That is just the thing!" The next morning the children got up early. They were very busy making breakfast. After some time, they called their grandparents. "Happy Grandparents' Day!" they said. "Breakfast is ready." "Oh, what a surprise!" their grandparents cried.
Your grandparents have learned a lot. What have they taught you? Did your grandpa teach you how to fish? Did your grandma show you how to bake cookies? If you think about how much your parents do for you, just remember that your grandparents helped them that much too! How can you return the favour? Do they need your help now? Maybe they would just like to see you or hear you on the phone!
