PART D: SPEAKING
Of all the people in the world, I like my dear mother the most. Not all the wealth in the world can make me hate my mother.
Everyone knows that mother's love is the greatest love in the world. When I see how my mother behaves towards my father, brothers, sisters and me, I am filled with pride. In everything that she does, there is a touch of love.
Though she sometimes scolds me, I know that she does so not because she is bad but because she is tired, working all day for the happiness of our family. So I keep quiet while she expresses her anger so that she may feel a little relieved after that.
That she loves her family is proved every day. When my youngest brother is very hungry in the middle of the night and cries for milk, she wakes up at once to attend to him, even if she is tired or ill. In the same way, she wakes up before all the others and goes to bed last, so that everyone in the family can receive her care. If anyone is ill in the family, she is the one who is the most worried.
Such care and love no one in the world can give to me. For these reasons my mother will always remain the dearest person to me.
