My mom works hard. She takes care of me and my young sister. Every day when she gets home from work, she makes dinner for us.
One day, I decided to help my mom. She’s always taking care of us, so I thought, “It’s about time I do something for her too. I’m nine years old.”
I decided to cook dinner for her. I don’t know a lot about cooking. But it doesn’t look that difficult. Noodles are easy to cook. All you do is to boil water, add the noodles and continue boiling. This was how I saw my mom doing it.
I was really excited. “Today, when Mom comes home, dinner will be cooked. We will sit down and eat some delicious noodles,” I said to myself.
After school, I ran home quickly and started cooking. I boiled the water on the stove (炉子) and then added the noodles. I was very careful. I cooked the noodles for a long time.
It can’t hurt, right?
Just before Mom got home, I turned off the stove. The noodles were not like the kind my mom usually makes. They were very mushy. They were more like a soup.
Mom was surprised when she came home. She put the noodles in bowls and sat with me and ate her noodles. “Mmm! These are the best noodles in the world, my son,” she said.
I knew the noodles were terrible. But that’s not important. Mom knew that I was trying to help out.
