In the summer I used to volunter to go to schools on the mountain in my country. One summer I went to the small school that far from my city about 6 hours by car. That place, there was no eclitriccity, people are very poor and I stayed with them all the time I lived there. However they are very friendly.
Every day I taught the chilend who are bout 6 to 8 years old. One day, I gave my students topic for drawing about mushrooms. While they were drawing I drew too. After they had given me their drawing I showed them mine. Suddenly one little boy said somthing but I couldn't understand. Beacause they couldn't speak Vietnames well so I couldn't understand. The boy was really upset beacause I didn't understand him. I guessed I wasn't good peson.....And after that I went out and called another gril, she older them him and could speak Vietnames. She told me I wasn't good person beacases I drew a not good picture. I drew a mushroom and covered it with green colour. That is a poision mushroom. So I understood about that. I thanked to him becasue I have knwon berore.
That made me embarrassing......
Marlon: Do you mean the older girl could speak the other language that the children spoke and Vietnamese? By the way, I don't think you were a bad person. What is wrong with a poisonous mushroom?
