On Sunday Ayesha’s cousin, brother Hamid came to her house to play. As soon as he came he asked his aunt to make his favourite shakkarpara (a sweet dish). Ammi said, “Let me come back from the market, then I will make some for you. Why don’t you help me? Take two glasses of water and put a bowl of sugar in it. Mix it till it dissolves.” Hamid thought, “Let me finish this work fast. Then I will watch TV”.
Suggest some ways to Hamid for quickly dissolving sugar.
