I like doing chores when I was young My mother started teaching us to cook when we were five or six
years old, we all started to help our mother do the housework. My eldest sister Lora helped our mother reap crops on the farm, my second eldest sister Daisy did the laundry, and I cooked for the family. When my sister finished their work, they both came to the kitchen to help me. I can still remember the tears in my mother’s eyes when she saw the first dishes we cooked. When I was seven I went to school, but I still came home every day and cooked for the family. I also liked to bring the food I cooked and share with my classmates.
