- Abstract
- One morning Hen Meynardo came home from school, he found Mother washing tire baby's diapers. We have no lunch yet, have we mother?" "I'll cook the rice as soon as I am through with this," Mother answered hurriedly. "Uha! Uha!" "Mother, you must go to the baby now. I know what to do." "Do you?" Mother asked with twinkling eyes. My son what is that? shouted Mother running out, nothing mother. Mother the rice is boiling look! But Mother was still out of breath with fright. What else, Mother? I want the lunch prepared before Father and sister come home." I want that broiled," Mother said pointing to a milkfish wrapped in banana leaf.
