It was half past five in the afternoon when Sarah came home from work. She walked into theliving room and looked at her three children.
The children were fourteen, thirteen and nine years old. They were happily watching TV. The room was dirty and untidy. There were empty glasses and dirty clothes on the floor. Toys were everywhere.
Sarah got angry. "What a mess!" she said to her children. "I work all day and have to do the housework all evening. I'm very tired. I need to have a good rest. I won't do the housework anymore!"
Sarah did as she said. She didn't do any housework. Every evening she sat on the sofa and watched TV. A week later, every dish in the kitchen was dirty. All the children's clothes were dirty, too. Every trash can was full. The whole house was out of order.
Then one day when Sarah got home, she got very surprised. The kitchen was clean. The children had cleaned it!
The second day, when Sarah got home, she found the living room was clean, and the children were washing their clothes. Sarah was happy and went to help them.
Now Sarah and her three children do the housework together. Then they all sit on the sofa and watch TV.
