Jason jigged down the hallway to the living room. He plopped into his dad’s favorite chair. Holding his stomach, he groaned.

Grandma came in looking worried. “Let’s get some warm tea in you.” She touched his arm. “Come in the kitchen, dear.”

Jason wasn’t paying attention. He reached for the TV section of the paper instead. Something caught his eye. A sale at the pet store—tomorrow!

Jason read the ad. VALENTINE SPECIAL: FROGS AND LIZARDS HALF PRICE.

A frog! For as long as he could remember, Jason had wanted a frog. He would do anything for one.

He dropped the newspaper. “Grandma, can we go downtown tomorrow?” He turned on the charm. “Please?”

“If you behave yourself, we’ll see about it,” she said from the kitchen.

Jason burst out laughing. “It’s a deal!” But, of course, he had no plans to behave. And he would wait to tell Grandma about the frog.

“Your tea is ready,” Grandma said.

Jason hurried to the kitchen. “I’ll clean up the kitchen for you,” he said. Jason wiggled all over waiting for her answer.

“What a dear boy,” Grandma said. She pulled out a chair for him. Then she served him a cup of mint tea. Stirring in a little honey, his grandma smiled. “We’re having a lovely time together, aren’t we?”
