Chen Jie: Oh, dear!
Rick: And then she told me not to eat the cookies because she was saving them for her grandson.
Chen Jie: Who’s that?
Rick: Me!
Chen Jie: Well, that’s not a good sign.
Rick: No. My parents are taking her to hospital tomorrow.
Chen Jie: Good. Follow what the doctor says. She may need special care.
Rick: Yeah. I just feel so sad. I don’t understand what she’s going through.
Chen Jie: Well, you know how some people’s memory gets worse as they get older. It happened to my grandpa too.
Rick: Oh, no. What happened?
Chen Jie: We used to fly kites in the park. But now he forgets how to reach the park. So, I walk him there every weekend.
Rick: That’s sweet!
Chen Jie: Thanks. Instead of what he forgets, I keep in mind what he remembers. In your case, your grandma still remembers that you love cookies!
