A father gets dressed elegantly for work, helps his children with lessons, and shows affection, but can get sick from working too hard. Being a father is defined not by genes or blood, but by caring enough for someone that you would sacrifice your own life for them. The short story was written by Samuel Pereira, illustrated by dwelldeep, edited by Gerson A. Moura, and published by Storybird for a first semester, 2017 level 1C class.

2. ...Fathers are usually
elegant when they get
dressed to go to work...

3. ...they help with their
children’s lessons...

4. ...and they are
affectionate
too...

5. ...however, they get sick
when they work too hard...

6. ...but they still work
hard, because they are
fathers...

7. ...so, being a father is not a matter of sharing the
same gene or blood, but of caring for someone else
enough to even donate your own live...
