‘We are going to have so much fun
while Gogo is having a nap,’ says big
sister Khwezi.
‘Ooh yes!’ says little brother Mzamo.
‘What will we do?’

‘We will clean the house for Papa and Mama while they are out.’
‘That’s no fun,’ says Mzamo.
‘Uh uh, no.
Not me.
I don’t want to clean up!’

‘But Papa and Mama will be so proud.
Let me show you how much fun we will have!’ says Khwezi.

‘First we will put the
toys away!’

‘Now we will sweep the stoep!’

‘Now we will wash the dishes!’

‘Now we will
wash the windows!’

‘Now we will
polish the floor!’

‘Now we will wash the clothes!’

‘Now we will hang the clothes up!’

“SURPRISE!”

‘I have been watching them the whole time and they have been little angels!’ says Gogo.
