SEEMA GOES GROCERY SHOPPING
Lesson 23 - Seema Goes Grocery Shopping
Mother: Seema, let's go to the grocery store.
Seema: All right mom. I love grocery shopping! (Seema and her mother go to the grocery store. They pick up vegetables, cookies, fruit, and soymilk.)
Seema: Mom, can I get some apple pie? (Without waiting for an answer, she ran to the bakery and brought the apple pie)
Mother: Seema, did you check the ingredients?
Seema: No, I did not. Should I?
Mother: Remember, we learned the other day that some pies creams have eggs in them. As Jains we don't eat any food that contains eggs, animal fats like lard, animal shortening, rennet, gelatin or glycerin.
Seema: Oh yes, I forgot. Let me check the ingredients. (Checking the ingredients) Sorry, mom, it contains eggs. Let me put it back. Can I get another brand of apple pie?
