📖 Part 1: Reading - Ula Lole (Red Sweets)

English

Leilani loves red sweets. Every day after school, she walks to her grandmother's house. Her grandmother always has a jar of red sweets on the kitchen table.

"Hello, Grandma," says Leilani. "May I have some red sweets please?"

Her grandmother smiles. "Of course, my dear. But first, tell me about your day at school."

Leilani sits down and tells her grandmother about her friends, her teacher, and her favourite subject - art. Then her grandmother gives her three red sweets.

"Thank you, Grandma. These are the best sweets in the world!" says Leilani.

E fiafia tele Leilani i sukalati mumu. I aso uma pe a uma le aoga, e savali ai o ia i le fale o lona tina matua. E i ai i taimi uma se fagu sukalati mumu i luga o le laulau kumukuka a lona tina matua.

"Talofa, Grandma," o loo fai mai ai Leilani. "E mafai ona ou ave nisi sukalati mumu?"

E ataata lona tina matua. "Ioe lava, lo'u pele. Ae muamua, ta'u mai lou aso i le aoga."

E nofo ifo Leilani ma ta'u atu i lona tina matua e uiga i ona uo, lana faiaoga, ma lana mataupu e sili ona fiafia i ai - tusiata. Ona avatu lea e lona tina matua o sukalati mumu e tolu.

"Fa'afetai, Grandma. O nei sukalati e sili ona lelei i le lalolagi!" o loo fai mai ai Leilani.
