Sorprendida por esta recomendación, Ceci aprende como hacerlo cuando su abuela la lleva a la tienda y la enseña todas las posibilidades disponibles a ella. Ceci expanda su conocimiento de diferentes comidas y aprecia la sabiduría de su abuela.

Ceci expands her palate and appreciates her Grandmother’s wisdom.
