Childhood in the house

Everyone in the house is sleeping. It is very quiet. I like a quiet morning.

Good morning, my good day. Good morning, Mrs. Smith.

I know I must work word. I know everyone counts on me.

I wash. I dress but cannot find my shoes. Don't let Mrs. Smith know about it. Mrs. Smith said shoes are for work. No one wears sandals to work.

I wrap my feet with paper. My sandals become shoes. Good morning, my new shoes. Let's go, to work.

I decide to bring the cup with me to work. Do you know everyone brings cup to work? Ha ha, only I know.

The morning is so quiet.

I wait for the clock to work. I like clock. Its hand is always moving. It is always quiet.

I see time. Time walks very slowly.

Good morning, time.

Do you run? I can run with you. If you can run, you can work with me.

Time does not speak. It is so quiet. My cup of water is cold. Oh.

I see wind. Wind runs very fast.

Good morning, wind.

You run so fast. Can you teach time to run? I want time to work with me. Time cannot catch up.

I see darkness. Everywhere is dark.

Good morning, darkness.

I cannot see wind. I cannot see time. Can I see again? I need to go to work.

I shout and open my eyes. I can see again. But time is gone and wind is gone.

I walk after time and run after wind. I get back to work.

People counts on me. I work. I like the broom. It is very light. I like the basket. It is very big. Wind is working with me. It brings dust to the basket. Time is working with me. The dust flies slowly, in the air. I am happy.

Mrs. Smith is very wise. She is the key keeper. Everyone in the house likes her.

She is smiling at me. I know I am good. I like Mrs. Smith.


Please tell Mrs. Smith I can go.
