Cleaning the Balcony
Anya: "Ravi, Amma said we have to clean the balcony before Paati comes!"
Ravi: "Ufff, it’s so hot. I’ll do it later. After one more level of my game."
Anya: "You said that after the last level also. The dust is dancing in the sunlight!"
Ravi: "Let it dance. I’m too comfy on this sofa. You’re better at cleaning anyway."
Anya: "Better? Or just less lazy than you?"
Ravi: "I’m not lazy, I’m just… saving my energy."
Amma: "Saving it for what, Ravi? For watching cartoons?"
Ravi: "Ammaaa, I’ll get up in five minutes. Promise."
Anya: "By then, Paati will ring the bell and see all the mess and sneeze like a volcano."
Ravi: "Okay, okay, I’ll sweep a little. You wipe, I sweep." a little. You wipe, I sweep."
Amma: "That’s more like it. I’ll cut mangoes for both of you when it’s done."
Ravi: "Mangoes? With chili and salt?"
Amma: "Yes. But only for the ones who are not getting lazier by the second."
Ravi: "Fine! Hand me the broom before I become the laziest statue in the world."
Anya: "See? When there are mangoes, my brother suddenly turns less lazy and a lot faster!"
