Last Sunday was gray and cold. I walked into the kitchen and saw Mum standing by the wall, hand on her head. “I have a cold (感冒),” she said. I held (握住) her hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll do everything today!”

First, I cut the pumpkin (南瓜) and put it in a pot with rice to make Mum’s favourite pumpkin porridge. When it was ready, I took it to my mum. “It tastes like love,” Mum said. My face felt warm.

After breakfast, I found the living room was messy—toys everywhere, Dad’s newspapers on the sofa and litter under the table. I put toys in a basket. Then I mopped the floor. Mopping the floor made my arms tired, but I danced to my song, moving the mop back and forth.

By noon, my legs were heavy, but the house smelled nice, and sunlight filled tidy rooms. I washed the breakfast dishes, singing happily.

Dad came home in the evening. He praised (表扬) me, “Our little superhero!” Mum, sitting up, touched my red face. “You really did a great job.”

That night, as I set the table—a new habit now—I knew housework isn’t just housework. It’s like glue that holds our family close. Every tidy table, clean floor and warm bowl of porridge says, “I love you.” That’s the best work of all.

Monday, July 15th

I arrived in Penang in Malaysia (马来西亚) this morning with my family. It was sunny and hot, so we decided to go to the beach near our hotel. My sister and I tried paragliding (滑翔伞). I felt like I was a bird. It was so exciting! For lunch, we had something very special—Malaysian yellow noodles. They were delicious! In the afternoon, we rode bicycles to Georgetown. There are a lot of new buildings now, but many of the old buildings are still there. In Weld Quay, a really old place in Georgetown, we saw the houses of the Chinese traders from 100 years ago. I wonder what life was like here in the past. I really enjoyed walking around the town.Tuesday, July 16th

What a difference a day makes! My father and I decided to go to Penang Hill today. We wanted to walk up to the top, but then it started raining a little so we decided to take the train. We waited over an hour for the train because there were too many people. When we got to the top, it was raining really hard. We didn’t have an umbrella so we were wet and cold. It was terrible! And because of the terrible weather, we couldn’t see anything below. My father didn’t bring enough money, so we only had one bowl of fish and rice. I was so hungry! But it tasted great!

(     )26．Where did the writer go?
