Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a doctor, a vet, a farmer, a waiter, a pupil, a teacher and a builder. One day, they all decided to switch their jobs for a day, just for fun.

The farmer became a vet and treated all the animals in the village. The doctor became a waiter and served the patients at the hospital with hot soup and sandwiches. The pupil became a teacher and taught the class about cows and chickens. The builder became a doctor and built houses for the sick. The vet became a farmer and harvested crops for the animals. The waiter became a builder and built a castle for the king. The teacher became a waiter and served the students with ice cream.

At the end of the day, everyone was tired but happy! They all learned that every job is important and deserves respect. They also realized that no matter what job you have, as long as you do it with love, it can be fun and fulfilling.

The moral of the story: "Work is play when done with love."
