Anna visits her grandma. Grandma is in the kitchen. The kitchen is bright. Anna loves her grandma. Grandma smiles at Anna. Hello, Anna! says Grandma. Hello, Grandma! says Anna. Anna is hungry now. Let us cook, says Grandma. Can we cook rice? asks Anna. Yes, we can, says Grandma. Rice is very good. Rice is easy to cook. Grandma gets a pot. The pot is big. The pot is clean. Grandma puts the pot down. Anna looks at the pot. Grandma opens a box. White rice is inside. Look at the rice, says Grandma. The rice grains are small. The rice grains are dry. Anna touches the rice. The rice feels hard. We need a cup, says Grandma. Grandma gives Anna a cup. Anna takes the cup. Anna gets some rice. She fills the cup. Anna puts rice in the pot. She adds one more cup. Now two cups are in. Good job, Anna! says Grandma. Now we wash the rice, says Grandma. Anna is happy to help. Grandma turns on the water. The water is cold. Anna puts water in the pot. The water becomes white. Mix the rice, says Grandma. Anna mixes with her hand. The rice goes around. Anna pours the water out. She keeps the rice inside. Do it again, says Grandma. Anna adds fresh water. She mixes the rice again.
