Sonia hated doing chores. Furthermore, she was bad at them. She and her sister needed to fix up the house before
selling it, however, so there was no getting around the
work. The porch needed to be painted, the fridge needed to
be replaced, and the carpet needed to be shampooed.
Suddenly, Sonia had an idea. All of these tasks would cost
money. Maybe she could work out a deal with her sister to
pay for everything - the paint, the new fridge, and the
carpet shampoo - if her sister did all the work.
