A Thoughtful Boy
 
Mouseover to hear ...
       One morning, it was raining cats and dogs. Amos was alone at home. He was watching television. Soon, his mother returned home from the market with a wet umbrella. The water dripped onto the floor.


       Then, his mother went to the kitchen. Amos took a towel and a bucket from the kitchen. He knelt on the floor. Then, he soaked up the water on the floor with a towel.

       Amos wrung the water into the bucket. The floor was almost dry. He knew how to do it properly. Amos was helpful and well-behaved.

       Then, Amos continued to watch television. Amos’ mother came out with a mop. She was surprised to see that the floor was dry and clean. She was happy.
