Once upon a time, there was an old man named Mr. Clean who lived in a small village. He was known for being the cleanest person in the village, always keeping his house spotless. But one day, he decided to buy a new house in a nearby town. When he arrived, he was shocked to see that the house was not as beautiful and clean as it looked in the pictures. It was very dirty and full of cobwebs.

He asked the young people in the town for help to clean up the house, but they all refused, saying that cleaning was too much work. So, Mr. Clean decided to clean the house by himself. He worked day and night, and finally, after many days of hard work, the house was sparkling clean again.

The young people of the town were amazed at how beautiful the house looked and asked Mr. Clean how he managed to clean it all by himself. He replied with a smile, "A clean house is a happy house and a happy house is a beautiful house."

From that day on, the young people of the town learned to appreciate the importance of keeping their houses clean and beautiful. And Mr. Clean lived happily ever after in his new and clean house.

Reflections

1. Why did the young people in the town refuse to help Mr. Clean clean his new house?
2. How did Mr. Clean feel about his new, dirty house at first?
3. What did the young people learn from Mr. Clean's experience cleaning up his new house?
4. What does Mr. Clean mean when he says "A clean house is a happy house and a happy house is a beautiful house"?
