Then they decided they wanted to visit her. Before visiting the old lady, each child planned to bring gifts for her to make her feel better. At fi rst, they were all nervous and scared to come to visit her because they thought that the old lady would be terrifying.
But one of their friends, Daria, encouraged the kids to see the old lady.
