John was ten years old and he was very lazy. He had to go to school, of
course, but he was bored there and tried to do as little work as possible. His father and mother were
both doctors and they hoped that he would become one, too, when he grew up. But one day John
said to his mother, "When I finish school, I want to become a garbage collector."
"A garbage collector?" his mother asked .She was very surprised. "That's not
a pleasant job. Why do you want to become a garbage collector?"
"Because then I'd only have to work one day a week," John answered.
"Only one day a week?" his mother said, "What do you mean?"
"Well," John answered, "I know that the ones who come to our house only
work on Wednesday, because I only saw them on that day."
