Every Friday, Youssef goes to the market with his grandmother. The market is near their house. They walk together and talk about many things.
The market is big and colourful. There are many stalls. Some stalls have fruits and vegetables. Other stalls have bread, meat, and spices. The market is noisy and busy.
Grandmother looks at the tomatoes. She picks up one and smells it. "These are good," she says. She puts six tomatoes in her bag. Youssef helps to carry the bag.
Then they buy some oranges and bananas. The fruit seller is a kind old man. He gives Youssef a small orange. "This is for you, young man!" he says. Youssef says, "Thank you very much!"
They walk home slowly. Grandmother is happy with the food they bought. Youssef is happy too. He loves going to the market with his grandmother every week.
