MOM, you need to understand that things here are different than back in Russia!!
Maya had to miss her gymnastics meet to come to the office and talk to the principal, since her parents couldn’t be located. The principal also asked her to translate for her parents who are not fluent enligh speakers in their meeting.
theme
Always treat others how you would like to be treated
Papa arrived and the principal asked maya to translate to papa because he didn’t understand much english, but while translating Maya changed some of the words, so that Nurzhan wouldn’t get a hard punishment.
The principal says that nurzhan was just defending himself and that you shouldn’t pu-nish him so hard
Mom was punishing Maya for not defending Nurzhan, but Nurzhan explained to mom that things in the United States were different than back in Russia and mom calmed down.
You are GROUNDED!!! YOU HAD TO DEFEND YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!!!
The theme that this part of the story gives us to understand is that we should always treat others right, we should treat them how we want to be treated, so if you treat someone badly, expect them to treat you badly in return, but if you treat them respectfully, nice, how you should, expect them to treat you the same.
