A House a home

Solution

  1. A house is the name of a building where some people live. It doesn’t say anything about their mutual relationship.
    A home, on the other hand, is a word used for the house where a loving family lives. The members are supposed to care for each other. They work together for the common good.

  2. Parents, sisters and brothers are parts of the family. They stand together in all ups and downs in life.

  3. A house becomes a home when there is the presence of a family that consists of a father, a mother, brothers and sisters and other family members. They do unselfish service and take care of one other in happy and sad days. If there is no family then there will not be any home and there will be no sympathy and care for anyone.
