Tom is ten years old, and he is a very lazy boy. He doesn’t like doing any work. He has to go to school, but he doesn’t study hard there and does as little work as possible. His father and mother are doctors and they hope that their son will also become a doctor in the future.
       One day, Tom says to his mother,“When I finish my study, I want to be a dustman.” “A dustman?”his mother asks and she is very surprised. “Why do you want to be a dustman?”“Because then I only have to work one day a week.” Tom says.“Only one day a week?” his mother says,“What do you mean? And how do you know?” Tom says,“I know that the dustmen who come to our house to work on Thursday, because I only see them on that day.”
