ed, “Of course I did!” His classmates thanked him, praised him, and adored him.
“Boy can you be the one to represent our class?” his teacher asked. “I would love to, but –,” he tried to muster a reply. He was already so busy with all of the help he gives to other students but he doesn't want to disappoint his teacher.
“You can’t do it?” his teacher cuts him off. “No teacher, of course I can!” he said with a smile. The boy studied all night for the competition. He was so focused that he forgot to do his classmates' assignments, attend his classmate’s meeting, and fill in for his classmate’s part time job.

The boy felt so sad that he cried on his way home. When he came home, his mother and father were on the dining table. “Child can you sit down?” his mother asked. He sat down. The mother started praising the boy, saying how he has been such a kind and dutiful son.
