Hi there. Would you please proofread the following text? Any help would be appreciated.
*****************************************************************************
Every morning when he woke up, Yang, picked up the jade carving and said good morning to Moogh, He did this for many years without fail.
One morning a few weeks later, Weifeng asked Laohu, “Have you thought about what we might name our children?”
Laohu had been told by, Jiang, his stepfather, about such conversations. “When one day, your wife asks”; “Have you ever thought about the names you would like to call your children”? “There’s a 50-50 chance that she’s more than curious”. So, Laohu decided to ask her a question instead of answering hers. “Are you with child”?
Originally, Gan and Jingying had thought that Lanhua would be a healer like Jiang, but now they had to consider jade carving. They decided to ask Lanhua how she felt. Lanhua looked up as though the answer was on the ceiling. “Can I do both? Laohu did both. I like carving jade, but I want to help people too”.
Jingying knew of only one way to answer her request. “Yes, you can do both, but if it becomes too hard for you to apply yourself to both crafts, then you will have to choose which one to give up”.
Lanhua thought a moment about her mother’s words and decided they were wise. “OK”. She said, agreeing.
