After the flood (洪水), some of my friends’ houses were in a mess. Today I went to help one of my friend do some cleaning.
I arrived in the morning. She asked me to move the broken things out of the room and clear the mud (泥) in the room. Another helper and I do the work together.
There was a desk in front of a door and a tall cactus (仙人掌) was on it. My friend asked us to be careful with that plant, because it was once her mother’s.
