“Joshua, you really didn’t cause trouble?”
“Really! If I were disobedient, the teacher would have called you a long time ago.”

“Why do you suddenly want to go to the competition?”
Joshua clenched his fists and answered with determination, “I want to test my skills. I can win!”
Gale looked at him seriously. “Joshua, you have to tell Mommy the truth.”
Under her sincerely expecting eyes, Joshua slowly lowered his head and pursed his mouth. “I want to get the prize
