Bad….. Get some bread, peanut butter and jelly. Put peanut butter on the bread. Then put jelly on the bread. I like peanut butter. But I don’t like apple jelly. Then eat it.

Good Let’s make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! First you should wash your hands. Now, get a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of jelly, a knife and a plate. Next, open the bread bag and take out two slices. Place them on the plate. Also, open the peanut butter and jelly jars. Next, using the knife, get some peanut butter from the jar and spread it on one slice of bread. Clean the knife. Then, use it again to get some jelly and spread it on the other slice of bread. Put the two slices together so that the peanut butter and jelly are touching. Finally, close the bread bag and both jars and put the knife in the sink. Now it is time to enjoy your sandwich!
