Sonny wanted to help Duncan, but he was small and weak, so he could only push Duncan’s wheelchair. He was unable to assist Duncan in walking.
Seeing that neither Serenity nor Zachary took action, Sonny didn’t say anything. Seeing Duncan sit down, he suddenly clapped and praised Duncan while applauding, “Uncle Duncan, you’re great; you can walk on your own. You’re great, Uncle Duncan!”
The kindergarten teacher said that kids who did well should be praised, and kids who did badly should be criticized.
Duncan had done a good job, and of course he needed to be praised.
Sonny’s actions amused the three adults.
“Duncan, the food is still hot. Eat it while it’s hot. Let’s talk after eating.” Zachary said.
“Yes, yes, Uncle Duncan, hurry up and eat. I promised Grandma Lewis that I would coax you to open the door and coax you to eat. If you don’t eat, I will break my promise.”
Sonny walked to Duncan and sat down next to him.
Duncan felt warm in his heart. He suddenly hugged Sonny, kissed his face twice, and said, “It’s not in vain that Uncle Duncan loves you so much.”
Sonny said, “Uncle Duncan, eat now.”
Duncan locked himself in his room today, never opening the door, eating, or drinking, which made everyone who cared about him worried.
Duncan picked up the bowl of rice and started eating.
