उत्तर

At school age, imagination takes wings. Inquisitiveness is common among my peers. Parents, society, and teachers want us only to study. But we need to explore the world around us. At home, it is our responsibility to keep our things in order. We need to assist the perennial worker, we mean, our moms in completing their domestic chores. Occasionally, we shall take care of siblings too not as a work but as a duty towards a family member who will be a lifelong companion to us.
