At college I missed my par At college I missed my parents a lot. As the term was drawing to an end I eagerly looked forward to going home. And I planned to do a thousand and one things during the vacation. Above all I wanted to help my mother with housework. I also wished to read many hooks which my teachers had recommended.

However at home my mother would never let me do anything. She completely deprived me of sharing her work. As soon as I opened a book to read she would sit down beside me and ask me about all kinds of things at the college. To please her I told her one thing after another and soon I forgot all about books. Even when I was actually reading she would now and then insist that I should eat an egg or drink a cup of tea.

When I left home at the end of the vacation not a thing in my plan had been carried out. But I felt very happy. I believed much more deeply than before in the old saying: Home sweet home. There\'s no place like home!
