Why did you make the promise?
  • I hate disappointing people,
  • Especially if it comes to my sister.
  • I always want to do anything she asks for,
  • Since she rarely asks for help.
  • So I couldn’t say no to her.
  • Even if I had no time, I would create time.
  • And I never go back on my promise.
  • It is a virtue I have built-in myself.
Was the promise easy to achieve?
  • It was not easy to achieve as It is time-consuming and requires a lot of research.

1. Do children also make promises to their parents?

Yes, a lot. They promise to either be good boys and girls or to perform well in their academics. Sometimes to avoid punishment from their parents, children make promises out of fear.
