    Song

    Wait a second, let me Catch my breath

    remind me how it feel to hear your voice Your

    lips are movin' I Can't hear a thing Livin' life as

    if we had a choice

    Anywhere

    anytime

    I would do anything for you

    Anything for you

    Yesterday

    got away

    Melodies stuck inside your head

    a song in every breath Sing me

    to sleep now Sing me to sleep

    Oh, just sing me to sleep now

    Sing me to sleep

    (music)
    lost in your mind I

    wanna know

    Am I losing my mind?

    Never let me go

    If this night is not forever

    at least we are together I know

    I'm not alone I know I'm not alone

    I'm not alone

    anywhere whenever

    apart but still together together

    I know I'm not alone

    I know I'm not alone

    Family Values

    I was in the kitchen helping my mother when I heard The crash. I knew at once what
    had happened. I Turned and Started to run toward the room where the guests were, but my
    mother stopped me.
    “Wait,” she said. ‘Lets return to our guests as if nothing has happened. Do not
    show how Upset and angry you are.”
    But mother, how can you say that? You know what has happened. Our

    Family vase has been broken. You heard The crash . This is terrible.”
    My mother smiled at me and replied, “Yes I know. The vase that has been in our family

    For over 200 years is broken. But we mustn’t let our guests know how it
    is With that,she Picked up the tea, and we returned to our guests.
    we entered the room, I saw at once that My worst fear was right-the priceless vase was in
    pieces on the floor. And standing next Broken vase was the 4-year-old son of Mrs.Kim.
    Mrs. Kim had A horrified on her face. The boy was starting to cry. He
    looked very guilty.
    “I…I….well, somehow, “Mrs. Kim began to explain my mother quickly said, ”Oh,
    that’s all right. It was an old vase. It was Not valuable.”
    “But the vase just Fell of the shelf,” Mrs. Kim replied. “ Oh, don’t worry about it.
    Everything is just fine. Would you like some tea? And what about some of
    Of this sweets?”

    After our guests had gone, I asked my mother, “Why did you say that the vase was

    Worthless? You know that it was very valuable.”

    “What else could I say? “ my mother replied. “Could I say it was valuable? That
    the boy had broken Our family's most precious treasure? Could I say that?”
    “Well,” I said, “it’s the truth. We should always tell the truth. “ “Not always.”
    explain my mother carefully.” Sometimes we must not tell the truth. Sometimes it is the
    best To hide our true feelings.” Is there no other way? ” I asked. “Believe me. I know.
    There is no other way.”

    TAKING CARE OF MOTHER

    Toshi : We have To face the fact. Mother is too old to live alone. Midori :
    Yes, you’re probably right. She is getting older, and since your father died,
    she Seems very forgetful.

    Toshi : Mother will need someone to take care of her in the near future.

    Midori : Perhaps we could Hire a nurse. You know, someone who could come in during
    the day, clean the house, Cook some meals, make sure she takes her pills.
    Toshi : But nurses don’t do all of those things. You’re Thinking of a nurse and a
    housekeeper. Who Would pay for that? It will be very expensive!
    Midori : Well, Toshi, what are you thinking?
    Toshi : Since I’m the only child, we have to take care of her. She can come To live with us.

    Midori : Here ? In This tiny house ? There are only two bedrooms. We can’t move our two
    daughters Out of their small small bedroom.
    Toshi : What else can we do? We can’t Afford to hire a nurse and a housekeeper. I’m her
    only child. Her husband, brother and sister are all dead. We have to take care of
    her.
    Midori : Maybe we could look for Bigger house.

    Toshi : In Tokyo? You know that’s impossible, We tried looking last year and everything in
    this area of Tokyo is too expensive.
    Midori : Let’s move away from the city. Some place cheap.

    Toshi : But then I would be far away from my office. It might take me two or three hours
    on the train. I Hate to commute. No, the only solution is for Mother to live with us
    here.
