My Grandparents: Reading Comprehension for Class 6 

Every May, Kavya visited her grandparents’ house in Lucknow for the summer holidays. The old house had a big garden full of roses, mango trees, and a wooden swing that creaked softly in the breeze. Her grandfather loved telling stories from his childhood, while her grandmother baked soft parathas and laddoos. Kavya helped her water the plants and learned to fold clothes neatly. Every evening, they sat on the veranda watching street vendors selling toys and roasted corn. Dadaji taught her to play chess and reminded her that patience was the key to every game. Grandma told her stories from the freedom-movement days, and Kavya listened with wide eyes. On rainy afternoons, they drank ginger tea and read books together, the smell of wet soil filling the air. One day, Kavya helped Grandma make mango pickle and felt proud when everyone said it tasted perfect. She realised that their home was filled with love and laughter, not fancy things. When the holidays ended, Kavya didn’t want to leave. Her grandparents hugged her and said, “Family is a garden—you must water it with care.” Back home, Kavya called them every Sunday to share school stories. She even sent drawings by post to decorate their wall. Those summers became her most precious memories, teaching her that real happiness comes from spending time with loved ones. She decided that when she grew up, she would take care of her grandparents just as they cared for her.
