Jose's dad was a carpenter. He was always making things, and he didn't like Jose getting in the way. One day, Jose's dad was really busy. But this time, when Jose offered to help, his dad agreed. "Actually," his dad said, "you can really help me with this job. I need you to climb inside that cabinet and give it a good sanding." Afterward, his dad was impressed. "Why didn't I realize this sooner? You're the perfect helper — you can get in all the corners that I can barely reach! Now let me show you how to use the tools properly." What are two themes of this text? A. People's abilities can surprise you if you give them a chance, and being too busy can cause you to overlook things that are important. B. It is difficult to admit when you are wrong, and it is important to show persistence. C. Polite questions are more likely to be answered, and appreciation should always be voiced out loud. D. Not everyone can be included in every experience, and children should do what they can to make adults' lives easier.
