It was a 3．(rain) Saturday morning in August. We were woken up by the sound of Sarah playing the piano as usual. In the kitchen, there was 4． surprise for Claudio — his favorite pancakes.

Mom gave us a big smile and told us 5．(sit) down for the breakfast. This was an important day for all of us!

While we 6．(eat) breakfast, Claudio went upstairs to collect his things. I suddenly heard him calling my name. When I walked 7． the room we shared, I found Claudio sitting at my bedside. “It’s time, brother,” he said. I thought he was saying that it was time for him to leave the house, 8． in fact he told me that I should take on a bigger role in the family from then on. He said I should do 9．(many) for Mom than before after he was gone.

I thought about his words very 10．(careful) and then understood everything. That day I learned about family, love and duty.
