But one day， after we got home from the kindergarten， my mother went into the bedroom and stayed in bed. I didn't know what had happened. I sat beside her and wanted to cry. My mother said to me， "It doesn't matter， mum has only a stomachache. I will be all right after a while." Although mother said so， I found tears in her eyes because of pain. At that time I knew adults also got ill and cried. I decided I would take care of my mother from then on.

　　Like many children， I had a happy childhood under the care and love of my parents. My mother took me to the kindergarten and home every day. thought mother was so kind and healthy that she would never get sick.

　　But one day， my father went to the kindergarten to get me back. I asked， "Why doesn't my mother come？""She is sick， and she is in hospital. "said Father. I felt sad and frightened. Then I began to cry. "Don't cry or mother would worry. You should be a good child." I seemed to understand my mother was too tired. I made up my mind I would look after my mother from then on.
