Chapter 3

"I know, I know. I'll eat later," Hans knew he was almost late for school, but his mother still insisted that he eat breakfast.

"It doesn't matter if you stay a little while. It's the last day of class."

"I don't care, Mom. I really have to go."

"Well, okay. But remember, I allow you only just this once," she sighed.

Hans gave his mother a smile.

As he raced to the door, she said, "You know, you've changed. You used to do whatever I told you."

He took a step back and turned, "Bye, Mom. Take care of yourself."
