Caillou - Fresh from the Farm
Today Caillou’s family was going to buy groceries, but Daddy drove right past the grocery store! “Daddy! You missed the store!” Caillou said. “We’re going to a farmers’ market instead,” Daddy answered. “Can we buy food there?” Caillou asked. “Yes, there will be lots of good food to buy,” Mommy said.
When they arrived, Caillou saw that the farmers’ market was very different from the grocery store. The food was all put out on tables. “Daddy, look. Everything is outside,” Caillou said. “That’s right,” Daddy said. “The farmers bring the food straight from their farms to the market, so it’s really fresh.”
Caillou wanted to help, the way he did in the grocery store. He looked for bananas, but couldn’t see them anywhere. “Mommy, where are the bananas?” he asked. “The farmers’ market only has food that is local – that means food that grows nearby,” Mommy said.
“Bananas don’t grow near here?” Caillou asked. “No,” Mommy answered. “Bananas are not local. They grow so far away that they have to travel here in a plane.” Caillou thought bananas flying in a plane must be very funny.
