Chapter 6
VISIT TO A SUPERMARKET
AS PROMISED, Karunaben took Neela and Ajay to the supermarket on Saturday.
Abhaybhai went along too.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Ajay took a shopping trolley and helped Neela sit in the trolley seat for a ride.
Ajay read the shopping list as he pushed the trolley carefully.
The first item on the list was biscuits. Ajay loved biscuits. As soon as they reached the biscuit shelves, Ajay grabbed a few packets which looked nice, and put them in the trolley. Karunaben said, "Wait, Ajay, let me read the labels and see if we can eat them."
She carefully read the labels, and put some packets back on the shelves. She picked up some other packets she knew well, and gave them to Ajay to put in the trolley. She then explained to Ajay, "These biscuits that I have put back contain animal fat, and some contain eggs. Because we are vegetarians we do not eat these biscuits." Ajay didn't mind. He crossed off biscuits from the list.
They went along and bought some bread and chocolates. Ajay wanted some cakes as well but Karunaben said she would get some "egg-less" cakes from another shop.
