It was six in the evening when Lisa came home from work. She walked into the living room and saw her three children watching TV. The room was dirty and mess（不整洁的). There were milk boxes and dirty socks on the floor. Cakes were on the sofa and toys were everywhere.

Lisa got angry. “How dirty and untidy our room is!” she said to her children. “I can’t work all day and then do housework all evening. I’m not doing the housework any more!” And so, Lisa didn’t do the housework. She didn’t clean. She didn’t do the dishes. She didn’t wash the clothes. Every evening she sat in the sofa and watched TV.

Three days later, every dish in the house was dirty. All the children’s clothes were dirty, too. Rubbish was everywhere. The whole house was messier and smelt terrible.

Then one day Lisa got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children cleaned all the dirty dishes! The next day, the living room was clean, and the children were washing their clothes. Lisa told the children, “OK, I’ll do housework again. But you must help me.”
