Advice

Sometimes my mother gives me advice.

She said that I should eat my vegetables if I want to be strong when I grow up.

She says that you reap what you sow.

I didn't know what that one meant，so I asked her.

She said that if you are good to people，they will be good to you.

If you do bad things，then bad things will come back to you.

I am still thinking about that one.

Some of these things are difficult to understand.

Take the advice that your parents give you.

They only have your best interests at heart.
