Explanation
People supporting one another is called mutual help. In an Uzbek mahalla (neighbourhood), neighbours hold a hashar (community work day) to do big jobs together. Asking for help when you can’t manage is not shameful. We can help people, animals and plants too.
Worked examples
Wind knocked a big branch down in the garden. Temur couldn’t drag it alone. Three friends came and moved it aside together.
Class activity
“Build it together”: groups build a block tower — first one child alone, then four children together; compare which was faster.
