Lola: (stomps into the office) Uncle James, it's so hot outside! Can I have some ice cream? Uncle James: (busy typing on his computer) Lola, what did I tell you about interrupting me during work hours? Lola: (pouts) But it's my favorite flavor day at the ice cream truck! You always have the best ice cream in your office fridge. Uncle James: (sighs) Fine, but you know the rules. You can only have it if you earn it. What can you offer in exchange for a scoop of mint chocolate chip? Lola: (thinks for a moment) I can... I can help you organize your desk! It's so messy, anyway. Uncle James: (smirks) That's a deal. If you organize my desk and finish a small task for me, you can have your ice cream. Lola: (rolls eyes) Okay, okay. What's the task? Uncle James: I need you to file these documents in the correct order into the cabinets. And remember, the blue ones go in first, followed by the red and then the yellow. Lola: (grumbles) Yes, Uncle James. (starts organizing the desk) (10 minutes later) Lola: (proudly) I've finished organizing your desk, and I even did the filing! Can I have my ice cream now? Uncle James: (looks up from his work) Let me check. (scans the desk and cabinets) Good job, Lola. You're learning responsibility. You can have your ice cream. Lola: (clapping her hands) Yay! Thank you, Uncle James! Uncle James: But remember, the world doesn't hand out rewards without effort. Sometimes you have to work for the things you want. Lola: (thinks as she opens the freezer) I guess you're right. But ice cream always makes the work worth it. (picks out mint chocolate chip and starts to leave) Uncle James: Oh, and Lola? Lola: (turns around) Yes, Uncle James? Uncle James: Make sure to clean up the mess you're about to make with that ice cream. Lola: (sighs) Yes, Uncle James. (walks out of the office, licking her ice cream)
