Love your family with harmony and respect

Rose is a young girl who loves animals. She keeps a tortoise and a rabbit in her garden. The rabbit always hops quickly while the tortoise walks slowly. She takes good care of them.

One day, Rose's grandmother accompanied her to the park. They saw an ice-cream van during their stroll. Rose was delighted, she would like to have an ice-cream. She asked Grandma politely, ‘Please can I have an ice-cream, Grandma?’ Grandma kindly gave her some money to buy one. Rose eagerly ran towards the van, moving as fast as her rabbit. When she was running to the van, she saw her friend. She stopped running and talked to her friend. As a result, Grandma arrived at the ice-cream van before Rose. She smiled mischievously and said, ‘I am fast like your rabbit. You are slow like your tortoise!’

Rose's grandmother cherishes the time spent with her granddaughter, creating precious memories together.
