At The Beach: The Good Old Days



It was Saturday morning. Mrs. Kuma called Dede and said, “Let’s go to the beach. We’re going to buy some fish. Take the small basket.”

Dede took the basket.

Mrs. Kuma and Dede walked to the beach. They met two women. They were coming from the beach. They were carrying big basins. There were fish in the basins.

Dede and her mother went to the beach. There were a lot of people. There were men, women, boys and girls. Some people were selling things and others were buying them. Many children were playing. They were running here and there. Some were playing in the sand. Others were swimming in the sea.

Some fishermen were pulling in their nets. Some were washing their nets. Others were selling their fish to some women.

Dede and her mother went to one fisherman. Dede’s mother said, “Please, how much is your fish?”

“One for three cedis, but give me ten cedis for four,” said the fisherman.

Dede looked at her mother’s face and said, “It’s good. Buy it, Mummy.”

“Very well. I’m going to buy it,” said Mrs. Kuma.

Mrs. Kuma bought four. She put them in the basket. Dede carried the basket, and they went home.
