Mateo’s Favorite Clothes

One Saturday afternoon, Mateo found his mother getting old

clothes from the cabinet.
“What are you doing, Mama?” Mateo asked.
“I’m taking your old clothes to the evacuation center. Many
children lost their clothes because of the typhoon,” Mother
explained to him.
“But wait, Mom! They still fit me. Look,” Mateo said after
fitting on his old red shirt. “Grandma gave this to me. It’s my
favorite,” Mateo added.
Mateo tried putting on his old jacket, pairs of pants and
slippers. They still fit me. Mateo remembered who gave them and
when he received those items.
“Oh, did I grow so much? I love these clothes.” Mateo told
his mother.
“Ok, you can take them back,” Mother told Mateo.
So, Mateo got the box with his old shirt, jacket, pants, and
slippers in it.
The next day Mother asked Mateo where the box was. She
hoped that Mateo would change his mind.
“Mama, the box was gone. I wasn’t able to take it to the
evacuation center,” Mateo said.
“Oh, what happened?” Mother asked. “On my way to the
evacuation center, I found a child who really needed some clothes. I
gave the box to him,” Mateo said.
