Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 34 She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself.

Often she says to us, "Work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society". What a piece of good advice this is! 35 This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.
