Helping My Papa

One day I went over to my Papa’s house. I helped him clean out the garage. First we picked up the rubbish. Then we fixed the garage walls. My papa asked if I could help lift some of the iron to fix the garage. I had to be very careful of the sharp iron. I put the iron up close to the wood so my papa can hammer the nail through the iron and into the wood. I was happy to help him pick up the rubbish and fix the garage. Helping people makes me feel good.
