Going to the Market

By Nathanael

I woke up really early that morning because my mum asked my younger sibling and I going to the market. My younger sibling and I showered. After shower, I exercised for a while.

We took public transport to the market. In the market, mum bought a chicken to be cooked. I bought a robot for 2,500 rupiahs. My sibling bought a toy car for 2,000 rupiahs. I saw my mum bought some rice for our family.

I sat waiting for mum to buy some oranges which felt like ages. Finally I bought an ice cream for 500 rupiahs. Mom bought me a pair of sandals as my old ones was ripped off when I hit a rock. My younger sibling fell and Mum told me off.

In the market, mum bought me a hat. I chose the one with a football picture. My sibling chose an Ipin-Upin one. My younger sibling and I were happy, we bought some ice creams again. On the way home, I was feeling sick, wanted to vomit, but I hold up until we got home. At home I felt better, not sick anymore.

I was happy to accompany mum shopping in the market!
