On Saturday morning, Yasmin woke up very excited. Tonight they were having a party! Music, friends, and best of all-staying up late! She could hardly wait.
But first there was a lot of work to be done. Cooking, cleaning, and more!
After breakfast, Baba began vacuuming the living room.
“Want to help, Yasmin?” he asked.
“I’ll take polish control!” Yasmin said.
Yasmin wiped the coffee table until it shone.
She polished the mirror till it sparkled.
And she washed the windows till they squeaked. Phew!
“Good girl!” Baba hugged Yasmin. “Let’s go see if Mama needs help.”
