are some words like these, "sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mum cook, wash vegetables, make
beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom" and many others. Jim and Robert chose two cards
for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the weekday task board. Jim likes to
clean the bathrooms, so he picked up the card "clean the bathroom", Robert loves to make the bed. so he
picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up "wash vegetables" and Robert chose "feed the fish". Soon
the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.
    To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea. Of course, the
parents did the housework on the weekends and left Jim and Robert two days free.
