2. Children: Children are like little helpers. You can help by cleaning your room, doing your homework, and being polite. Your job is also to learn and grow, just like a little plant that needs sunlight and water.
3. Grandparents: Grandparents are like wise storytellers. They tell you stories about the past and share their experiences. Sometimes they give you extra love and cookies!
