It is early in the morning. Mr White is cutting the grass in the yard. Suddenly, his neighbour Mr Black runs out and helps him.

Mr White is very happy and he asks Mr Black, “Do you often help people cut grass?”

“No!”

“So why do you get up and help me?”

Mr Black says, “I help you cut the grass so that I can go back to sleep again.”
