A House Is Not A Home
Unprecedented happenings can turn everything upside down in our lives and during such moments of upheaval we help each other. Based on your reading of the story write a paragraph on how you helped one of your friends in the hour of a great tragedy.
One of my best friends had to undergo an unfortunate experience. Once when he and his family were out of the house for a week, their house was completely ransacked by the thieves. The thieves left nothing at all in their house. Nothing at all! They were really shocked. I brought my friend to my home and gave him all that he needed. He shared my room for one week until his home was reset for living. During those days I learned a great lesson in sharing.
