visiting grandma during a winter storm

Sheila had never felt this cold Her feet were pink and freezing She needed a new pair of socks Her grandmother gave her two pairs Put them on top of each other, she said Sheila’s teeth were chattering She could not get warm I will add kindling to the wood stove said Gram She also brought the quilt off her bed Sheila stood next to the stove until she felt warm With her grandmother’s quilt around her shoulders Why did you come out in this cold? Asked her grandmother I wanted to see if you were okay, the girl said. I have food, water, and warmth, said grandma. Let’s call your mother to see if you can stay the night. No one should be out in a storm like this. Naturally, Sheila’s mother said yes. Grateful that her daughter and mother were safely inside for the evening.
