The poor family shares a humble meal of steaming mashed potatoes and a hot cup of tea. The mother serves the food and listens intently to her husband as he tells them about what happened at work that day. The grandfather reaches out his cup so that the grandmother can pour more tea for him to drink. Spoons and forks "clank" as the family digs into their dinner. The dim light coming from the lamp above them flickers. Their tiny, crowded home doesn't seem to bother them, and as long as they are together as a family they will always be happy.
Hi Sharmaine,
ReplyDeletePretty good job of describing your picture. And an interesting choice, at that. Where did you get it?
Some good word choice: steaming, intently, clank (actually don't need the quotation marks).
Note that the sentence "the dim light coming...flickers" can be expressed more directly because you have a great verb: "The lamp above them flickers."
