Every Saturday night, Rina's family eats dinner together at home. Father cooks warm chicken soup, and mother prepares white rice, vegetables, and sweet tea. Rina helps put plates, spoons, and glasses on the big dining table. Her younger sibling, Beni, arranges the chairs and turns on the lights. They sit neatly, smile, and talk softly. Father asks about school, mother listens, Rina tells about friends, and Beni talks about a funny picture. After eating, they clean the table, then watch a family movie. The night feels peaceful, their stomachs are full, their hearts are happy, and they give thanks for the time together. They help each other, learn to be polite, and say good night.
