Do Now 314

If I had an invisible cloak, the first good deed I would want to accomplish is entering every bodies home and doing all of their difficult choirs that must be completely by the end of the day. I feel that it is absolutely necessary to help others, not for publicity and fame, but for the feeling that someone else's life is somewhat better knowing that they don't have to ache themselves trying to complete their choirs. Choirs such as washing the dishes, mowing the lawn, or even folding the laundry. The ordinary tasks would be done thanks to me and my invisible cloak.

In addition, with my invisible cloak, I would wash many people's cars just so that they can be able to drive with a clean and clear view. When having these clean cars, the people will not have to worry about seeing the road because how dirty their vehicle is, now that I have aided them. I want to help them for the greater good. Without my invisible cloak, I would not be able to do any of these actions.
