When Karen got off the school bus, that afternoon, she did not hurry to visit Pegasus. She hurried into the house and found her Mama in the kitchen.
“Mama,” she asked, “can I help you fix dinner?”
“Yes, of course, my Krana Layala.”
“And can I help you clean up afterwards?”
“Sure, but why are you being so nice to me? Don’t you want to go for a ride on Pegasus?”
“If it’s okay with you, I’ll visit Pegasus after we clean up from dinner.”
“As long as you don’t stay out too late. But you still haven’t told me why you’re being so nice to me.”
“Because I know how much you do for me, Mama, and I want to be as kind to you as you are to me.”
Mama hugged her and they both cried for joy.
