The Little Guardian Even in childhood, a sister becomes a protector. At school, she watches over her younger sibling, glaring at bullies, standing tall even when she is small. At home, she takes the blame for broken vases or spilled milk, not because she is guilty, but because she cannot bear to see her sibling scolded. When someone speaks harshly to her brother or sister, she jumps in like a tiny warrior. Her words may be small, but her heart is fierce. She would rather face anger herself than let her sibling face it alone. This instinct to protect never leaves her. It is the seed of sacrifice planted early, growing with her as she grows.
