The Saturday House Richard Heket

The Saturday House is a family's home, but the five children are too busy on Saturday to do their chores. Mom and Dad, disappointed in the children, decide to ignore their chores as well to teach the children a lesson about fulfilling their responsibilities. That night, the children complain that there is no dinner on the table. They are hungry and tired and everyone, including the house, is out of sorts. Mom and Dad remind them that ignoring chores has consequences. The children promise to do better next Saturday. They fulfill their promise. The whole family, including the cat, is happy and content with a clean house.
