Eric is eight years old, and he is a very lazy boy. He doesn't like doing any work. He goes to school of course, but he doesn't study hard there and tries to do as little schoolwork as possible. His father and mother are both doctors and they hope that their son will become one, too, when he grows up. But Eric says to his mother, “When I finish school, I want to be a cleaner. ”

“A cleaner? ”his mother asks, and she is very surprised. “That's not a very pleasant job. Why do you want to become a cleaner? ”“Because then I can only have to work one day a week. ”Eric answers at once. “Only one day a week? ”his mother says, “What do you mean? And how do you know? ”
