They tiptoed down the steps in their bare feet.
Their parents were still asleep. Keisha, who was twelve, led the way into the kitchen. The sun had just started to stream through the window. “All right,” Keisha said, “let’s make them breakfast.”

Leon sat on the floor. He rubbed his eyes. How are we going to make breakfast?” he said. “mom makes it every day. “What do we know about making breakfast?”
“Just watch me and do what I say,” Keisha said. She got glasses and bowls from the cabinets. Then, she found a tray. “Get the bread and the butter and the orange juice, too,” she said.
Leon followed her instructions. Soon, they had a beautiful breakfast for their parents, with juice, toast, cereal, and a piece of fruit.
