After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them. One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me why wouldnt she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out? When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱). I told her she didnt need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street.

As a result, it got weak scores in language and writing.Luckily, after four years of suffering, researchers have decided to free Torobo from taking the test. They will grow Torobos ability in the fields its doing well in, so that it can be used in those industries(工业) in the future.So while Torobo will never graduate from Todai, it can still look forward to a bright future!66.
