Not Hurt
At 11:30 p.m., Mother woke and found her son Bin wasn’t in bed. She scurried into the living room and found the siblings watching cartoons.
“I was so worried, my baby. Go to bed with Mom,” Mother said to Bin gently. She then glared at Lan, “Don’t be a bad influence on your brother!”
“But Mom, it is Bin who wanted to watch cartoons. He begged me to stay with him,” Lan tried to explain.
Mother shouted, “You are the elder sister. You are supposed to take good care your brother. Never do it again!”
Lan pretended she wasn’t hurt.
