📖 The Story

Mrs. Aruni did not have a husband, but she had two sons. They were big, strong boys — but they were lazy.

On Saturdays, they did not go to school, and their mother always said: “Please cut the grass in the garden this afternoon, boys.”

The boys didn’t like it, but they always did it.

Then, somebody gave one of the boys a magazine, and he saw a picture of a beautiful lawnmower in it. There was a seat on it, and a woman was sitting on the seat.

“Look! That woman’s sitting on the lawnmower, driving it, and cutting the grass. We want one of those!”

“One of those lawnmowers?” his mother asked.

“No,” the boy said. “We want one of those women. Then she can cut the grass every week!”
