Lesson 134 What changed you?
Let’s listen to today’s story.
Sho: Mari, Dad told me you would get in touch with Mom.
Mari: I am a member of the family too, Sho. I have to do my part. I honestly never thought you were going to take action. I thought you were all talk.
Sho: I used to be, but not anymore.
Mari: So, what changed you?
Sho: People, like you and David, who work toward making their dreams come true. You all helped me to think about my future. Also, after my wadaiko performance, I learned that effort always pays off.
Mari: Those are great words, Sho. Could you tell David “thank you” from all of us.
Sho: OK.
