The Greens are the Kings' neighbors. Mr. Green's name is John. But when his neighbors talk about him, they call him “Mr. Going-to-do” .Do you know why? Mr. Green always says he is going to do something, but he never does it. Every Saturday Mr. Green goes to the Kings' back door and talks to Mr. King.“ I'm going to clean my house today,” he says, or “I'm going to wash my car tomorrow.” or “The trees in front of my house are too big. I'm going to cut them down next week.” Mr. King usually says,“ Are you, John?” He knows his neighbor is not going to clean his house, or wash his car, or cut down any trees. Then he says, “Well, excuse me, John. I'm going to do some work in the house.” And so he does. Mr. and Mrs. King often say to their children,” Are you going to do something? Then do it! Don't be another Mr. Going-to-do!” ?
