HELPING MORTHER AT HOME

Every child should love his mother. A girl or boy learns many good things from mother.

Mother teaches us to be obedient, helpful and friendly to others. 

Ever since my young days I have always helped my mother in the kitchen. I get up early in the morning and help my mother prepare breakfast. Then I clean the kitchen and sweep the floor. I also help mother wash the dishes and pans.

On Sunday I follow my mother to the market and help her to carry vegetables and fish back home. Sometimes my mother asks me to cut vegetables. I also wash vegetables. I like to give small help whenever I am free from school work.

One day when my mother was sick, I cooked dishes for lunch. My mother was very happy and told me that I should be good to everyone.
