our pet cat. My sister was tasked to water the plants and sweep
the floor while my mom prepared food for everyone. My dad ran
errands for the whole family. His task was very important. My
mom taught us to cook simple recipes found from magazine and
most often from YouTube. We sold them online for additional
income.
