Helping the Elderly

Helping the Elderly

I think it’s important to help the old people in our lives. When you get old it’s difficult to do even the easiest tasks, like cooking, cleaning or mopping. That’s why my brother Kevin and I went to Mrs McKenzie’s house last
weekend. She’s 82 years old and she needs a little help. First Kevin mopped her kitchen floor and washed the dishes. I cleaned the windows and tidied her living room a little. There were many old magazines and newspapers on the floor. I carried them outside to the recycle box. She watched us and smiled. She was so happy and it’s a great feeling to please people. She said ‘Lilly, I loved to dance when I was young’. I love dancing, too. She gave us a surprise at the end of the day by baking delicious banana bread for us. It
was amazing. We worked hard in her house, but we also got a great treat!
