Helping at home
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn
I'm Dawn. I have a big family: my parents; three brothers named Nicky, Ricky, Dicky; my little puppy and me. I'm ten years old. My brothers are ten years old, too. Haha, we are quadruplets. We study in the same class.

Today is Sunday. Mum and Dad are busy and tired. We decide to help at home.
In the morning, Nicky and Dicky put away the toys. I help Mum fold the clothes. And Ricky feeds our pet Squishy Paws. He's a small cute dog. He has big eyes and white fur. We all like him.
In the afternoon, we help Dad in the garden. We water the plants and pull out weeds. After that, Nicky takes out the rubbish. Ricky helps Dad wash the car. Dicky and I sweep the floor. The broom is a bit heavy but we can manage.
It's time for dinner. Mum is in the kitchen. We help Mum wash the vegetables and set the table. We have a tasty meal and a good time. After dinner, my brothers and I take turns to walk Squishy Paws.
Helping at home makes us feel good, because we are doing something useful. It's nice to help and be part of the family.
