Mae and Grandma's Quilt
Read the story carefully. Then answer each question in your best handwriting.
On cold winter nights, Mae liked to curl up under Grandma's quilt. The quilt had squares of all different colors - blue, orange, purple, and green.
Grandma told Mae that each square came from an old piece of clothing. The orange square was from a dress Grandma wore as a little girl. The blue one was from Mae's dad's first jacket.
Mae touched each square gently. She felt like she was touching stories, not just cloth. Every square held a memory from someone she loved.
That night Mae fell asleep under the quilt. She dreamed of all the people who had worn those colors long ago. She felt warm and close to her whole family.
