TheISBN number is 9982-00-596-5. The core of the document is a short story about a girl named Mwansa, her siblings, and a family shopping trip. Mwansa has three sisters and two brothers. Her elder sister, Mwange, is in Grade 7, while her twin brothers, Chileshe and Mulenga, are in Grade 2. During a recent shopping trip, their parents bought uniforms, shorts, shirts, shoes, and socks for the boys, and dresses for the girls. However, the girls expressed dissatisfaction, wanting shorts and shirts instead of skirts. Despite the mother's initial stance that girls should not wear shorts, the father intervened and purchased shorts and shirts for the sisters, much to their delight. The document concludes with a question prompting the reader to describe the story's subject matter.","We Want Shorts Also  \nPLP Grade 4 English  \nWe Want Shorts Also  \nPLP Grade 4 English Zambia  \nCopyright © 2016, Curriculum Development Centre  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/)  \nYou may not use this work for commercial purposes.
