One morning Mother was unwell and it was the maid's day off.

I told Mom I would see to the cleaning of the house. I took the broom and dustpan and began sweeping. It is not easy but I did my best. While mopping the floor I had to stop often. At last it was done. I then loaded the washing machine with clothes and started it. After dusting the furniture, watering the plants, I set the table for lunch.           

Mother hugged and thanked me for doing such a   good job. I felt so proud and grown up.
