He wanted to help the girl up, but his mother stopped him and said, “Dont do that, otherwise others will think it was you who knocked her down.” Another day, the mother was shocked to see Xiao Ming just let the fallen oil bottle be, so she said to him angrily, “Cant you see t

Why didnt you straighten it up?” But Xiao Ming said to his mother, “If I had straightened the bottle up, you would have thought that I did it.”I disagree with what the mother did in the story. I think parents should set a good example to their children. They should not only care for their childrens health, but their minds. They should let their children know it is a pleasure to help others who are in trouble, because we live in the society which is a big family for all of us.There is no doubt that everyone should go all out to contribute to our society.
