- “Peter! Pick up your toys!” – said his mom for the fifth time.
But Peter was so excited with his new video game, that didn´t obey his mother.
- “Please, Peter, I´m not repeating it again, it´s time to have a shower and then eat dinner”.
Peter stopped playing reluctantly, it was the last video game of a game saga he was collecting; “Pirates from the cursed island”, and was super interesting.
After dinner, his mom asked Peter to help her cleaning the table, but Peter ran to his room to continue playing with the video game, instead of picking up the dishes.
- “This kid is such a disaster! Have you seen the bathroom? Peter, pick up your clothes!Peter!Peteeeeeeer!!”
The next day, Peter woke up wondering why his mom hadn´t called him at the same time as always to go to school. Went down stairs to the kitchen and what a surprise when there was One-eyed Captain! the pirate from his video game!
- “Bu…but…where is my mom? what are you doing here?”
- “Your mom does not live here any more, she got tired of you ignoring her any time she asks you something. Now, I will live in your house with my crew, and you will serve ourselves anything we order to you”.
- “Bu..bu..but…”
- “But nothing, I was waiting for you to wake up to prepare my breakfast. Harry up, my crew is about to come”.
Peter started working, prepared breakfast for the whole crew, and then had to clean the table, wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen.
After many adventures through the seven seas, the captain and his crew wanted to take a bath. After the bath, Peter had to pick up all the clothes and clean all the mess in the bathroom.
Peter spent the whole day behind the pirates, picking up everything around. When night time arrived, peter was very tired, and asked the pirates to help him cleaning. The captain looked at him, and all of them started laughing. Then Peter woke up.
Understood it had been a dream, and thought:
- “My mom might be as tired as I was in my dream every night. from now on I´m going to help her , and I´m going to clean and tidy up”.
That day, His mom could not believe it what she was seeing. Peter helped her to clean the table, picked up his clothes, didn´t understand what was going on, Only peter knew it, any time he looked at his video game.
