One summer holiday, when Jerry was four years old, his grandmother from Germany came to visit him in Australia.

This was the first time Jerry had ever met his grandmother.

Germany was on the other side of the world and so, it was very special that she was coming to meet him for the first time.

The family called her Oma. This means Grandmother in German.

Oma was very cool. She walked with Jerry along the beach every morning.

Even though Oma couldn't speak English and Jerry could only speak a little German, they got along very well. They would walk together quietly and look at things along the way.

Sometimes, Oma would even play soccer with Jerry in the backyard. The rest of the family would tell her to take a rest, but she loved to play with him.

Jerry loved her dearly. She was very cool indeed.

"It will grow into a beautiful orange tree and when you see the tree and
