12."Serena,don't forget your promise to me that you will mow(割)Mrs.Martin's yard this weekend,"said Dad."Don't let me down."
Serena was the oldest child in the family,and one of her chores was to mow their yard.Mrs.Martin,their elderly neighbor,was unable to take care of her yard,so Serena's Dad had volunteered Serena for this job.Since Mrs.Martin's yard was not very big,Serena knew the job would go quickly.However,she still resented her dad's promise.
"Why didn't you ask me first?"Serena had complained.
"Did you ask me first when you volunteered me to be in the school festival last fall?"asked Serena's father.
"Well,no,I didn't ask you first,but you would have done those things anyway.You're always willing to help."
"I try when I can,"Dad answered."Serena,we have known Mrs.Martin for a very long time.She has often helped our family.Now we can do something for her.Besides,the feeling you get from helping someone makes you wonder who is really helping whom."
"I don't know,Dad,"said Serena."The only feeling I get from mowing our yard is tired."
"Just you wait and see,"said Dad.
After breakfast,Serena made her way to Mrs.Martin's yard.She was good at her job and soon had Mrs.Martin's yard looking tidy.Mrs.Martin came outside with a big glass of orange juice and offered it to her.Serena stopped her work and gratefully enjoyed the drink,while Mrs.Martin talked to her about all of the flowers in her yard.Seeing the joy in Mrs.Martin's eyes,Serena began to understand how much the yard meant to Mrs.Martin.
After finishing her drink,Serena returned to work with a new attitude.A warm feeling began to spread(蔓延) through her body.Her dad was right.It was hard to tell who was helping who!
