The young girl likes to listen to her grandmother's stories, and finds that her grandmother misses her goldfish. So the young girl wins goldfish, and makes a goldfish pond together with her grandma. This is good for children that live with their grandparents to show them that they can still do things together.
A story about a granddaughter trying to do something nice for her Chinese grandmother mourning the loss of her childhood home.
I like this story about a young girl who decides to do something for her grandmother. The fact that the characters are of Chinese descent has no real bearing on the story. This could inspire many children of all ethnic groups.
Chinese grandmother learns her childhood home is being razed for development. She thinks of the pond and flowers in the garden. Granddaughter builds pond and plants flowers for grandmother.
