Un día ayudé a mi mamá, y después fuimos a comprar helado. El helado era bueno y mi mamá me dijo, “Si haces cosas buenas, cosas buenas vendrán a tí.” Yo pensé en qué significa eso, y pensaba que si yo sigo haciendo cosas buenas, y si yo ayudaba más, más cosas buenas pasarán a mi.

One day I helped my mom, and after that we went to buy ice cream.
