To my surprise, my dad just took his , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve forgotten what I told him that night. I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit.

After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”

So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember, bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
