Once upon a time, there was a family of five who lived in a small but cozy house. The parents worked hard, and so did the children. But despite their work, their house was always a mess, especially the children's bedroom.

One day, their mother had enough and decided to teach them a valuable lesson. She gathered her children in the living room and explained the importance of teamwork and sharing the housework.

The children all agreed and decided to divide the chores amongst themselves. The eldest son, who was responsible, had to take care of the trash, the older daughter had to do the dishes, and the younger daughter, who loved to clean, would help mom vacuum the house.

The youngest, who was still too small, did small tasks like folding laundry and organizing his toys. Everyone had their chores, and they agreed to make it fun by singing and dancing while cleaning.

Days passed, and the house had never been so clean. Even their parents were impressed, and they made sure to reward their children for their hard work. They had a lovely dinner with a clean table and no toys, and they enjoyed each other's company.

They talked about how teamwork made everything so much easier, and they decided to make it a weekly routine, where they would work together to make their house a nicer place to live in.

As time went by, they found more creative ways to make housework fun. They even decided to repaint the house to make it look more cheerful, and their dog was thrilled to see them all working together.

From that day on, their house was always clean, and their family was closer than ever. They discovered that sharing the housework was not only practical but also helped them bond as a family. They took a family photo in front of their clean house, proud of what they had achieved together.
