mike was a small boy,and he hated soap and water.

three or four times every day his mother said to him "mike your hands are very dirty

again.go and wash them "but mike never really

washed them well he only put his hands in the water for a few seconds and then took them out again

mik's uncle and aunt lived in another city

one day they come to stay with mike's parents ,and they brought

their smal son.ted with them . ted was a year younger than mike ,and he didn't like soap and water ,either.

the boys set with their parents for a few minutes , but then

they went outside when they were alone , mike looked at ted 's hands are dirtier then yours!"

"of course they are ,"ted answered angrily. "you're a year older than i am."
