•     So Amelia Bedelia went into the kitchen.  She put a little of this and a pinch of that into a bowl.  She mixed and she rolled.  Soon her pie was ready to go into the oven.
        “There,” said Amelia Bedelia.  “That’s done.”
        “Now let’s see what this list says.”
        Amelia Bedelia read,

  • Change the towels in the green bathroom.
  •     Amelia Bedelia found the green bathroom.  “Those towels are very nice.  Why change them?” she thought.
        Then Amelia Bedelia remembered what Mrs. Rogers had said.  She must do just what the list told her.  “Well, all right,” said Amelia Bedelia.
        Amelia Bedelia got some scissors.  She snipped a little here and a little there.  And she changed those towels.
        “There,” said Amelia Bedelia.  She looked at her list again.

  • Dust the furniture.
  •     “Did you ever hear tell of such a silly thing?  At my house we undust the furniture.  But to each his own way.”
        Amelia Bedelia took one last look at the bathroom.  She saw a big box with the words Dusting Powder on it.  “Well, look at that.  A special powder to dust with!” exclaimed Amelia Bedelia.
        So Amelia Bedelia dusted the furniture.  “That should be dusty enough.  My, how nice it smells.”
