One year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day, as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that Mother had made for us. After breakfast we had arranged, as a surprise, to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country. Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that, because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.

    But on the very morning of the day, we changed the plan a little, because it occurred to Father that it would be even better to take Mother fishing. As the car was hired and paid for, we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are. As Father said, if you just go driving without object, you have a sense of aimlessness, but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.

So we all felt it would be nicer for Mother to have a definite purpose . Father had just got a fishing rod the day before, which he said mother could use if she wanted to. Only Mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.

    So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry, though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.

    Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed. It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.

    Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden. He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do, like digging a trench for the garbage, which would save hiring a man, and so he said that he’d stay home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way. He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.

    But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner, only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this. But they said that Mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.

We are always hearing about road accidents, and when we are in the car we try to drive carefully. But, how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? A large  1  will tell you the number of accidents that happened in the home is almost the same as those on the  2 .  I don’t pretend to be  3  , but I’ve thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to  4  them.

   One of the most common and most dangerous  5  at home accidents is wrong and careless use  6  electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or  7  out a plug without first turning off the  8  . In spite of warning, one  9  carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a  10  . Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power  11  mending a lamp or something  12 . All this can cause accidents. So the  13  about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you  14  anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually  15.

   If you’ve got  16  in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their  17  . otherwise, they may be taken for candies or new kinds of drinks. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular  18  in a number of ways in order to make them  19 and happy.

     20  , of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.

   Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
